- Since Keaton and Campbell were not here last night, Bentley wasn't too sure of what to do. She started in the boys room but then went looking for the girls in their room. She made it downstairs before the boys realized.
- I put her in our room where she slept in the closet floor until the thunder started. She then wanted me to open the bedroom door and let her out. She liked to go to the girls' room when it is stormy-I think because they have so many fans she can't hear the thunder maybe)
- I then put her in bed with us where she stayed until almost morning when she went to our couch. Bentley will be happy to see those girls when they get home. They are still doing their babysitting gig, and they are still loving every minute of it! They took those girls to church tonight and ChickFIlA.
- That just left Whitman and Graham home this morning for school. I let them both sleep in a little bit, but then they had to get to work. Graham still has a Spanish presentation to finish or possibly start. In Arkadelphia, Anderson finished his first year of college with his last test at 8 this morning. He is staying until Friday when we come to pack him and Reagan up.
- I ran a few errands today-once to bring Campbell home so she could ride with Graham to work. Then she drove back to her gig in the white car. I also went to do a little bit of wedding bridal brunch prep with a friend.
- Then before too long it was time to go to church for the last Wednesday night. I will kind of miss it because I enjoy the social time-and I enjoy the reason to have to easily stop at the library every week to pick up books.

- Campbell was probably surprised this morning when she asked if today could be her last day of school. She and Keaton are babysitting all night tonight and all day tomorrow, and they could have taken their school. However, this is the last week so I maybe a little too quickly said that this could be their last day. I made them finish a few extra things, but they were still pretty pleased with me.
- Graham finished one of his classes today so he just has a Spanish presentation to do before he is officially finished with high school. Whitman may not be as happy with me because he still has two more days of school. He is actually find with that though because all he has left is a lot of reading which he enjoys.
- Robby and I celebrated Cinco de Mayo this afternoon with lunch out at Cantina Laredo. The food was fine, but the cheese dip and apple pie dessert was excellent. And tonight for supper, I made tacos for everyone that was here.
- This afternoon I did a few things around the house, and then we took the girls to their babysitting gig. We picked up a tv stand from a friend so we ended up doing some rearranging in the bonus room since we are getting ready to squeeze all of the college things upstairs.

- I slept in as last as I could this morning before getting up to start school. No one complained too much, but I'm ready for a few days off from school plus I'm excited about all of next year's activities.
- Keaton, Whitman, and I worked together this morning, but we finished our constitution curriculum today so this will be our last work together day. I wonder if that means that we can start school a little bit late the next few days?
- Keaton joined Campbell and Graham this afternoon at work. Keaton can not go on Wednesday, but she will go on Friday plus she received her first paycheck in the mail today.
- While they were gone to work, I ran a few errands with Robby. I bought some things for Graham's dorm room plus I checked on some picture frame for a bridal lunch I'm helping with. I needed 30, but even after looking at a few today, I ended up buying them online.
- The kids came home from work, and I made pancakes for supper. Campbell and Robby went to eat wings while I tried to work on a few things in the house. When Robby made it home, we ran to the WIlson's house for a few minutes, and now I've had my hot chocolate, and we are watching a show.
May 3, 2026
- This was Senior Sunday at church which means that Graham and the rest of the seniors walked across the stage wearing their robes. There was even a video that the seniors had made thanking the church. I think that Graham had fun today.
- Keaton took Graham's extra cupcakes from last night to her Sunday school class, so I bet that her class had fun today as well. After church, we went to Grannymom's house for Sunday lunch. She had soup which was excellent because I had been freezing all day long.
- After lunch, Robby and I ran some errands this afternoon. We made a little bit of money and didn't spend any-though there are a few things on my list to buy early this week.
- While we were gone, Campbell and Keaton left to water the plants that they are taking care of. Then they also went to another church to keep kids there-they went from one job to another job.
- When we made it home, Graham left to go and play pickleball with his buddies. Campbell dropped off Keaton and left again to go to Adi's house to watch a movie. Last night I tried to stay awake until Campbell and Graham came in, but I fell asleep before either one of them made it home-so hopefully I will do better tonight.

- We were up until after 1 last night talking to Anderson. When Keaton, Campbell, and Graham came in from their evening outing, they added to the conversation so it was a fairly lively evening. I think that there were be quite a few more late nights like this coming up this summer.
- Keaton, Campbell, and I left around 7:20 this morning to drop Campbell off to help a friend with a garage sale. Then Keaton and I met Whitman and Graham at Raymar. Graham reffed two games while Keaton and Whitman worked in the concession stand.
- Then Keaton reffed three games, and Campbell eventually showed up to work a bit in the concession stand too. It was an odd weather day-it was cold, it was hot, it was sunny, it was cloudy, it was windy, it was not. I had on a sweatshirt, then a long sleeve shirt, then a tshirt, then a jacket and ended up taking my jacket off and on all afternoon.
- We came home, and I laid down on the couch for a little bit. Then it was time to get ready for Graham's Senior banquet at church. Reagan drove up, and Grannymom, Nonna, and Pops were all there. The food was pasta and cheesecake tonight, and it was very good. All of the seniors received a super nice Bible.
- After the banquet was over, Reagan emptied the contents of her car to our big white van-I'm not sure how, but she practically filled up the white van. Then Campbell took on care to go and play pickleball while Graham took another to go and play volleyball-they were actually going to the same place, but sharing a car would have made too much sense.
- Robby and I dropped off Keaton and Whitman at home, and then we took some banquet leftovers to the Wilsons. Then we hauled Reagan's things up to the bonus room. It is already filling up, but we still have a lot to add up there.

- Robby and I slept as long as we could this morning-we were both kind of stirring at our normal time, but since Marley was sleeping and since Friday is really our Saturday, we just stayed in the bed.
- The garage door man was here fairly early-he was able to fix the garage door and even fixed the something extra on the garage door so Robby was super pleased. Robby then left to run some errands, but he wasn't the first one in the house to leave,
- Campbell was awake and left before Robby and I did get out of bed. Last night Keaton did some work on Campbell's hair, and it turned a pretty bright yellow. Even though we had shipped something to help, it wasn't here yet so she went to the store.
- At her second store she found what a substitute product and came home to use it. Her hair then was pretty much back to normal, but she also used the product that came in so now her hair is really back to normal. It was a fun experience.
- Keaton, Campbell, and Graham all went to work this afternoon-this might be Keaton's last time at work since they just asked her to work the last two weeks, but they did send home all of the work employment papers so who knows.
- Robby and I ran some more errands this afternoon, and then we hurried home to change clothes. Then I picked up Shannon while Robby showered, and then we picked him up. Shannon was able to hook us up to work the doors for the Charity Gail concert. We let in the crowds, and then we were able to see the whole concert.
- While we were gone, Keaton and Campbell picked up a few friends and ran some errands. They came back here for a bit before leaving to play pickleball. They were gone until late, but Anderson came home for the weekend for the senior banquet tomorrow and to bring a load of things home from his dorm room.
- We were able to catch up quite a bit with Anderson, and we stayed up way too late chatting especially since we have to leave the house early in the morning!
April 30, 2026
- Keaton and Campbell went to work this morning. A few Thursdays ago, I let them oversleep (though I am not the one who usually wakes them up since they do that by their selves.) Since then, I have been a bit paranoid about them not sleeping in, and I don't know when they are supposed to wake up either, but they were already stirring this morning.
- I let Whitman sleep in a few minutes longer, but then we did some work together. He didn't have a whole lot of work to do today, so he played his new board game in the middle of the school morning. It is a single player game so I haven't played it.
- Graham ran quite a bit today-over 6 miles. Plus he started studying for his one final. I left around 2 to go and set his senior table up at church. Campbell and Keaton helped me, and I will say that Graham's table looked better than any of the other ones there...I was the first one to decorate my table so the odds were pretty high that ours would be the best at least right now.
- I then ran a few errands with Robby while Campbell and Keaton ran a few errands too. We came home for a bit, then we left again. This time our errand running was more productive plus we picked up supper for everyone-it was pretty late when we made it home but better late than never!
