• Robby and I left the house this morning as soon as we could get Marley down for her first nap. Now, this is still before any of the kids woke up so it was decently early. We filled up two different cars with gas, and then I went to Walmart. 
• After Walmart, I met Robby at Target to help him finish a shop. Then I hurried on to Nonna and Pops' house to drop off two shirts. They are ironing a few things that Anderson is going to need at school over the next few weeks. 
• I zoomed home because I only had less than an hour to make mac and cheese. I had told the boys last night that I would have it ready at 1, and it was 12:15 when I made it home. This was a new recipe, and it used a pot to boil the noodles, a pan to heat up milk, the strainer, the blender, a whisk...it really used most of the dishes that I have. Plus Campbell had attempted cookies (ok) and Keaton had made brownies (very good) so that added to the dishes. 
• I ended up pulling the mac and cheese out of the oven at 1:06 so I was pleased with that. While it was baking (actually broiling) I was able to clean the kitchen and start the dishwasher. Graham said that the macaroni was the best I've ever made, and Anderson said, "it's up there." I will take that as a win for sure!
• Laynie came over so Amber came in a chatted for a while. Then before too long, it was time for me to leave again. This time I met Campbell, Keaton, and Laynie at Granmyom's house. They had been shopping at the Promanade and Walmart. 
• We picked up Grannymom and met up with Anderson, Graham, and Robby at Graham's second ballgame. His team did really well once again and once again only lost by a few points. It was a fun game, but we would like for them to win at least one game.
• Reagan went out to eat tonight, and she even wore one of my new sweaters-I must be incredibly stylish one of the girls to wear something of mine! The girls picked up Sonic drinks on their way home while the boys picked up pizza. 
• Everyone ate, and there were quite a few showers taken this evening!
