• It was a rainy and messy morning. I knew it was raining but sure didn't think about it any when the big boys and I backed out of the garage. I was driving the white van and to get around Reagan and Anderson's cars, I had to back up the other way which I do often.
• However, it must not always be raining when I back up in the grass because today I backed up well, but when I put that big van into drive, we didn't go anywhere. Stuck! 
• I am incredibly thankful for big boys-they stood out in the rain trying to figure out how I could get out. After they placed a few rocks and some branches, I was eventually able to drive out. It took a while, and they were drenched. However, we did make some memories. 
• We were first in line for our hair cuts so that was nice. What was not nice was my tire pressure light coming on while driving there. I was convinced that we had some how poked a hole in my back tire trying to free it. Fortunately, that wasn't it. Unfortunately, it was a nail in a front tire. Robby discovered that tonight when he was checking them so he will get that fixed in the morning. 
• I made grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch for most people here. This afternoon I was chilly the entire time and even had to have my hot chocolate early. Campbell and Graham worked this afternoon, but they finished early so were home by a little after 4. 
• Tonight was Campbell's turn to make supper so she made chicken bacon potato ranch casserole-it had a fancier name, but here is the important part: everyone liked it. That is rare around here to find such a winner, but she did.
• When we finished supper, Robby and I left to go and run some errands. I helped him shop, and then he delivered while I stayed at the store doing our own shopping. I bought quite a few Christmas things, but my Christmas list just keeps growing...and I don't have any idea what I'm getting my people! I'm not sure what exactly is happening.
• When we came home, the girls were finishing a movie and now Campbell has started on another sign to paint. The big boys are playing on their xboxes while Whitman is on his ipad.
