• It was a bit of a hectic day today, but we survived. I did less reading this morning with Keaton and Whitman because I didn't have much time before I had to leave the house. After reading, I was able to do some quick work with Whitman. 
• Then Campbell humored me and worked with me early. Campbell and Keaton like to do all their work with me when they are finished with everything so we can check their work too at that time. When I finished with her, Graham and I did some math really quickly, and then I ran out the door to meet Robby at a funeral. 
• Afterwards, I had to pick up one thing before going to Old Navy for a return and a pick up. Campbell needed some fuzzy socks for a party coming up so when I found some I snatched them up-and when I left only paying 53 cents for them, I was super happy.
• I checked a bit of school when we came in, but then I left with Keaton for her permit test. Once again, she didn't pass, and once again she made it to the last question so she is super close. She is determined to do it again next week so we might just go to Benton to take the test and spice things up a little.
• When I came home this time, I checked Whitman's work and worked with him. Then, I had to do the same with Keaton. It was too long before Robby and I left again-we had one errand and then ate at Texas Roadhouse. We managed to bring home 4 rolls, 6 chicken tenders, 6 potato skins, a bowl of mac and cheese, and 1/2 of a steak plus we were both full!
• We also stopped and picked up a few birthday rewards for Robby-Laynes chicken and Tacos for Life. Needless to say, when we pulled into the garage everyone was waiting on us-or maybe they were waiting on our food. 
• Keaton and Whitman are working on making a dessert pizza right now, but I think that I'm on the couch for the rest of the night. And no, I still haven't cleaned those potties. Maybe tomorrow (it really should be tomorrow because they are getting bad-maybe just don't come and visit us unless you call ahead!)
