• It was pretty dark and dreary this morning, so before I got out of bed, I looked at the weather hoping for rain. Unfortunately, it wasn't raining so I pressed on with my walk. 
• We did the school bit this morning-it went well, and even though I forgot to make sure Graham was awake (I had woken him up once and then heard him set his alarm for later), he still managed to finish everything even though he slept in. 
• Today was permit test number 4 for Keaton, and she passed! Finally! Our first day there when we had to do all of the paperwork and most of the other days that Keaton has taken the test, she has had the same lady checking her in. This lady has been extremely nice, and I think Keaton may have passed her test today because of this lady.
• When she was checking Keaton in, she went through how to skip questions, how to have the test read on the headphones to you, and how to ask for help. This time Keaton decided to click the help button because there was a word she didn't know. She thought it would just bring up a dictionary or something; however, clicking the help button brought the lady over. She asked Keaton which one she thought it was, Keaton showed her, and the lady smiled and nodded. 
• So I guess this office is the DMV, but the employees there have been so nice and kind-every single time we have been there lately...and it has been a lot!
• We came home after celebrating with some Starbucks. I then did some things around the house before working with Whitman. When he did finish school, his project was trying on some jeans. He needs some new church pants, so I went upstairs and found him about 20 pairs of pants in about 4 different sizes that might fit him. I was only able to get him to try on 2 pairs tonight-neither of those worked, but maybe during tomorrow's try ons he will find some.
• Campbell made some bacon while Graham cooked some eggs tonight. I made some biscuits so we just had ourselves a breakfast supper. Campbell has also made some homemade hot chocolate which will enjoy in a bit!
