- Robby had his dgroup this morning. I saw on my phone when he left the house, but I quickly went back to sleep for a little bit. It was kind of nice, but I really should have been doing a few things around the house.
- Today has been a fairly busy day, though I'm not really sure what all we have done nor am I sure how it is already 9. Graham was the first one to leave today-he went to eat lunch with some friends, and then he went to Walmart to buy some snacks. Him buying snacks is very different than the girls buying snacks-he barely bought enough to matter.
- Whitman and I started on an escape room type game around noon. We probably played it for about 2 or 3 hours today, but we finished it. We are both a little dorky and really enjoy those games. I'm not sure if anyone else would like them-well, I do think that Anderson would like them.
- Anderson left first this afternoon to go and help some some yard work for Pops. He left at the same time that Reagan, Campbell, Keaton, Reagan, and Whitman went to Sonic-I think that Reagan was making missing Sonic yesterday up to Whitman.
- Robby and I left at that time too because we ran to the Sams and Walmart. We forgot our ice chest so our Sams cold things had to huddle together to stay cold while we ran into Walmart. We were quick so it was all good, and everything made it home still cold.
- Robby and I did some quick loading of the food in the camper, and then I helped Graham pack up his suitcase. Then all of us but Reagan and Robby played two rounds of a game.
- Then Campbell and Whitman went to pick up pizza for our supper. We all ate while we discussed the location of someone we all knew-the debate was if they were at the beach or not. It was quite an entertaining discussion even though none of us really cared if they were at the beach or not.

- Robby and I went to a funeral this morning. We ran to Walmart and the library on the way home. We had to buy breakfast burrito ingredients at Walmart, and then at the library, I had to check a book out since I had requested it, but then I had to turn it back in since I had already read it.
- When we came home, multiple children asked us where we had been. I guess I didn't adequately post today's activities-I thought I had told people, but I guess not.
- When we did get home, things got busy-we are loaning out our big white van this week, so friends came to get it. Then I left for the dentist with Reagan and Whitman. Robby went to work on making the breakfast burritos plus the internet man came by at the same time that he needed to get on a work call. I think that it was pretty hectic at the house for a while-but I was sitting in the dentist office peacefully working on my crochet.
- Whitman was done quickly, but Reagan had a little bit more work done. She didn't feel great on the way home, so we skipped Sonic and rushed her home. Last time poor Whitman went to the dentist, his car didn't get Sonic while the other one did. I told him that we would definitely pick some up next week-maybe even multiple times.
- When i did make it home, I worked on wrapping the breakfast burritos for the freezer. Plus I made cinnamon roll Iaccoca. It was very good, and we snacked on it while we heated up our various suppers.
- Anderson power washed a good bit of the afternoon-he was so muddy from the dirty sidewalk that you could not tell where his boots ended and his legs began. I think that the power washing is not done for a while-if we have thought of it, it has been power washed.
- Graham went to play pickleball this evening after he ate the warm cinnamon bread. Campbell wasn't going anywhere, but I think that her and Keaton might be headed to play volleyball later in the evening...however, I do not plan to leave the couch for much for the rest of the night.

- I guess since we have been staying up so late watching tv, I have been having hard time getting out of bed lately. It doesn't help too much that it has been kind of cloudy or even rainy the past few mornings.
- When I did get up, I started on a few things around the house. I didn't make anything in the kitchen today, but Whitman did. I had to wake him up around 12:30 because he wanted to make homemade pizza for a late lunch.
- The dough took an hour to rise so we were all munching on pizza around 2. It was really very good-we did take a short cut and used jar sauce instead of making our own,
- Campbell had left early this morning to get breakfast with a friend, go shopping, get gas in her car with Robby, and then to a friend's house to swim. She made it back in time to start working on supper for the family.
- She made baked sweet potatoes with ground beef and avacados for the toppings. It was really good, but we made too many sweet potatoes so now I need to figure out something to do with them because I don't think anyone will eat the leftovers just as they are now,
- After we ate, Campbell left again for another pool party. She is making the most of her summer vacation for sure. Reagan and Whitman are watching a movie tonight, and Anderson is working out in the garage, but other than that it is a quiet night around here.

- We weren't too speedy getting out of bed today either, and I can't blame it on the weather. I did get up when Marley started stirring. She doesn't really bark or even whine much in the mornings, but I can hear her feet scratching when she starts stretching to wake up.
- I was busy all of the day long-I even made two new recipes. One was a churro oyster crackers. They were good, but it was kind of like eating handfuls of sugar. The other recipe was a sourdough sandwich bread. The bread could not have turned out any more perfect, but it was just bread and not very flavorful, but I tried them which is all that matters.
- I am also working on picking out pictures for the year since we are so far behind. I used to do one month at a time, but today I picked out 6 months of pictures. It isn't hard to do and is kind of fun looking at all of the pictures, but it takes a while, a long while.
- Adi came over around lunch time to go to a movie with Campbell and her friends. Reagan, Graham, Keaton, and Whitman went to the same move at a different time today. I think that everyone really enjoyed the movie.
- They were not home too long until we all started leaving again. I left first to go to a mahjong meeting. I had much fun, and I feel like I understand it a little bit more. Keaton, Campbell, and Whitman left next for Bible study at Raymar.
- Graham went as to Bible study too in another car. Anderson left the house next to go and play basketball, and when Bible Study was over, Graham met Anderson and the basketball people after Bible study. Campbell and her car load went with friends to go and eat pizza.
- I made it home before everyone else, but they all started showing up soon after. Reagan is the only one who didn't leave today, though on my way home I did spot someone that looked like her walking down Lawson-I even slowed down to make sure that it wasn't her.

- We weren't very good morning people this morning-possibly because we stayed up until way, way too late. Since it was raining, I sure didn't hurry out of bed either.
- It was kin of a slow day, so I was able to still accomplish most things that I needed to. I even joined Reagan on a trip to the dentist-she also has cavities so she gets to go to the dentist two more times during her very short break.
- Anderson and Graham both did some power washing this afternoon. You wouldn't think that we have a lot concrete to power wash, but I guess that we do. There will still be plenty of power washing to do tomorrow.
- Campbell was going to make our supper tonight, but she had a birthday party at 2-she went out to eat, then to swim, and then get snow cones, and then to play volleyball-that girl is still gone. She is living her best life.
- I made supper instead, and people must have liked it-breakfast sandwiches. Then I helped Robby with some new shelves in the camper. Currently, Robby and I are doing some binge watching...I have a book I want to be reading or pictures to be getting ready for the kids' picture books, but there is always tomorrow.

- This Sunday morning if I didn't wake up, I think that at least most of the house would have slept through church. Now Campbell and Keaton were awake and getting ready early enough that they requested to take a second car to church-we didn't need a second car, but they wanted to make sure that they had plenty of time to get there early.
- They had doughnuts for dads today before church. Robby had some with a few of the kids as we were walking in. Keaton and Campbell had found our seats today since Grannymom is traveling. After church, we all went to Nonna and Pops' house to have our Sunday lunch.
- Pops made pork tenderloin, but he also had fried apples. They were delicious-not a one of my people had any, but I sure loved them. We stayed for a while visiting, and then we all headed home.
- The first thing I had to do when we came home was chop about 6 inches of hair off of Keaton. I think that I did decently-at least there wasn't any tears involved.
- Robby ran a few errands this afternoon, and then he came home and started back on his cleaning binge. I did about two things in the house, and then I had myself a nap. Soon, Reagan came home which having everyone home completed Robby's Father's day.
- We helped her unload and went to work on her clothes and bedding. She had to bring everything home this week, but it is probably nice to start back at camp with everything organized and fresh.
- This evening we all went to the Wilson's house for our Sunday night supper. Campbell was there for about 10 minutes, and then she ate and ran. She went to a friend's house for the rest of the evening.
- The rest of us stayed and visited until it was past time to go home. We enjoyed the evening but are always sad when the weekend is over. True to our normal schedule, when we made it home after 10-Robby started organizing the garage some more, Anderson and Whitman played a 45 minute game of chase involving a waterpick around the house, Reagan worked on her school schedule, and Keaton had me cut her hair another inch. Campbell is still out and about, but it has finally gotten quiet in the house, so we will watch just one or maybe two shows before bed.

- No one really moved quickly this morning. Bentley didn't even go outside until after 2-she is on the summer schedule like the rest of us.
- Robby went to take a shower this morning and ended up in the garage working, and there he stayed until tonight. I helped him off and on while he completely reorganized his tool bench area. While he did that, he had Graham pick up some sticks. Anderson was busy power washing during all of this, and he worked until he got pretty sunburned.
- Reagan was off today, so she had a bit of a quiet afternoon/early evening in Hot Springs. She said that she was enjoying being quiet. She will be home for a few days tomorrow so that will be fun.
- Campbell and Keaton babysat this afternoon-they left with a ton of things-a craft project, something to return, and even a snack to make.
- After Robby finished working in the yard, we went to Kroger to pick up a few things. Of course, we filled the buggy and spent a good bit, but most importantly we came home with ice cream.
