  • Keaton and Whitman convinced me last night that if they did some school work last night, then they could sleep until 9 this morning. I was easily convinced since it is almost Christmas break. 
  • Since they were sleeping late, Campbell was the first one to leave the house. She met someone from Rock Creek for breakfast at Blue House. When her breakfast was over, she came home and instead of starting on her school, she just spent a lot of time playing with Marley. 
  • All the rest of us did some school this morning. I know that Whitman read last night, and then he read again tomorrow. I'm glad that he is enjoying reading, but the kid is reading twice during school time-and he needs as much school time as possible. 
  • After school, I did a few things around the house while the girls waited on me. When I was finally ready and Marley was asleep, we left to run some errands. Everyone else was gone (Graham house sitting and playing basketball) so that left Whitman in charge of the dogs. They all survived, but I bet that it was a long little bit for Whitman. We text to check on him, called later to check again, and Robby checked up on him with the cameras.
  • Graham made it home a little bit after we did. Robby was the last one to make it home, but he brought supper-butter chicken for us, taquitos for the kids, and cheese dip for another day. 
  • Robby and I are now on the couch watching our tv show while wrangling the dogs. I plan on getting up for some hot chocolate in a bit, but I probably shouldn't since I have had a handful of Campbell's snickerdoodles from last night.
