  • Robby left decently early this morning to run some errands and to work on my grocery list. I have created a fairly long list lately of things that we need for all of the holiday happenings that seem to have already begun.
  • While he was gone, all of the kiddos slept-Whitman was the first one to get up. He came down about 10; he thought it was it was 11 though. Graham has not changed his clock since time change, and Whitman told me that he would have gone back to sleep if he had known he was actually "up so early."
  • By this early time that Whitman was up, I had washed our sheets, cleaned the downstairs bathrooms, dusted, cleaned the windows, straightened the school room, unloaded the dishwasher, and folded this morning's laundry. 
  • Soon the other kids started waking up-probably because I started vacuuming. Campbell had worked some on her decor for her party tonight while Keaton started making something for her shin dig next week.
  • Robby came home, and after unloading his groceries, we hung lights and sat our chairs around the new fire pit. When we finished that, I worked on making potato soup-I was a bit worried when I started, but it was absolutely delicious. That recipe was definitely a keeper. 
  • I then made some hot chocolate and put it in the crock pot so when Campbell's 11 (I think) friends came over, I really didn't have to do anything at all. It was wonderful-last time Keaton had friend's over I was racing around like a crazy person trying to get everything warm at the same time so today things went much smoother.
  • Graham went to play basketball tonight which worked perfectly because he also left at the same time that Keaton needed to go to her party. Robby was able to watch the bitter end of the basketball game before going to pick up Keaton. 
  • Now we have some party clean up and then the rest of the night can be spend on the couch!
