- Church day, and I sure do love it when all of my people are there. Campbell set with her people, but we were still a row full of Dennies, and I loved every minute of it. After church, we all went to Nonna and Pops' house for Sunday lunch.
- We visited for a little bit there, but then we headed home. Reagan and Anderson started getting ready to go back, and around 5 Anderson did leave for school. About that time, Reagan decided that she was just going to go back tomorrow since her first class isn't until 1.
- Campbell took Keaton to meet some friends at Chilis tonight for supper. They also walked around Target for a little bit, and then arrived home about the same time that the Wilson's came over for supper and at about the same time that Graham made it home from his house sitting duty.
- We made poppyseed chicken for supper-I doubled the recipe so we will have poppyseed chicken for days. I guess that I was thinking I was feeding more than just who all was here. I also made sourdough blondies, but I struck out with them. However, the leftover oreo delight that we had in the fridge was still good.

- Robby left first this morning to run a few errands. I then left to take Keaton and Campbell to babysit. I was going to let Keaton drive, but since it was over 30 minutes away plus the car we were going to take was Anderson's car-she decided to not drive.
- That was fine so we just brought my big van instead. After dropping them off, I met up with Robby and did a little bit of shopping myself. This was actually my biggest shopping day-I made a decent amount of money.
- However, I made nothing compared to what Campbell and Keaton made today. They did babysit for 9 hours and made 4 times what I made. They were keeping 5 kiddos, and even though the day was long, they still enjoyed it, and they especially enjoyed the payday.
- When I came home, I made some sourdough snickerdoodle cookies. They were really pretty good. I had intentions of baking some sourdough something every day this week, but two times isn't that bad I guess.
- When the girls were finished babysitting, we picked them up while the kids from the house met us at Chilis. Graham came from his housesitting gig. We all ate and then went to Menchies for a snack. Now, 6 of us got Menchies, and I promise you that we have spent 60 dollars there before, and that is what we were expecting when we put our ice cream up there to be measured. However, it was just 30 dollars-we were shocked.
- The boys ended up playing basketball tonight so Anderson took Reagan's car and left from the ice cream place. So Reagan rode home with us. The girls wanted to stop at Target on the way so we did that, and then we stopped by Campbell's chicken feeding gig.
March 27, 2026
- I didn't do much from my list today. As soon as Marley went down for her nap, I left to run a few errands-my own. I fed some puppies, looked for a fan for Reagan, made a return at Walmart and bought a few things, got some free lotion at Bath and Body, and picked up a book from the library.
- Once I made it home, most people were awake-not Whitman though. He has been sleeping pretty soundly, but he did wake up around 2 today which is hours before when he woke up yesterday. It will be hard to get him back on a schedule. It will be hard for me to get back on a schedule too.
- I worked on my last Camp Geyer recipe. I have now made all my recipes plus written out exactly what I need. It isn't a hard task, but it takes quite a bit of time. Now I'm done until I panic in June because I don't really remember what I did back in March.
- Anderson said that Graham ran a half marathon in the neighborhood where he is dog sitting. It was his best running time too, but this was a messy and grey day to be outside.
- Whitman made supper for us tonight-Grilled cheese, homemade potato chips, and mac and cheese. Everyone ate, and the kid started watching some basketball. Robby and I ran some errands and came home with some candy.
- Before it was too late, most of us here played a game. Whitman had been ahead the entire game, but he lost in the final round. However, he still proclaimed himself the winner because he had the family game trophy in his pocket during the game.

- I am getting sad that our Spring Break is almost over. I wish that we had a bit more time, but in 6 weeks it will be summer vacation for everyone. (I love a short break, but I so enjoy the routine of the school days.)
- I worked on my third VBS recipe for my cooking track. I just have one more to do, but I can not remember to buy the ingredients for it. I was just telling Campbell that she needs a way to send herself a reminder...apparently, I need a way to send myself a reminder too.
- Campbell spent the night at a friend's house-actually in a tent. Robby took Keaton to babysit this morning, and she worked until the mid afternoon, and Anderson went to play basketball for a bit today.
- Reagan did come home from her mission trip. She has spent the week in New Orleans. She really enjoyed it, but she wasn't a big fan of the New Orleans food that they ate. I think that she was pretty tired when she came home, but we are glad to have her home.
- Tonight Graham came home to watch the ballgame, and this was the first time that we were all home together this Spring Break week. That will probably happen again on Sunday at church and at Nonna and Pops' house after church, but before too long on Sunday afternoon Reagan and Anderson will be heading back to school.
- When I think about it, I hope that us all being together wasn't what caused the Hogs to not do so well on the ballgame tonight! The Wilsons came over too so it was a house full which was fun even though the game didn't turn out like we had hoped.
March 25, 2026
- My first task this morning was making a meal for Graham. He is house sitting this weekend so he wanted to have a few meals to eat. We had made a trial run on this meal so he knew it was good-it actually smelled so good that Anderson requested me to save him some and not give it all to Graham.
- It was fairly quiet in the house for most of the morning, until about 10:30. That is when everyone had to move on outside to start on some yard work. We worked until a little bit after noon. and probably just need to work about 7 more days, and we will have it all done. Kidding, we really did make a big difference in the yard.
- Campbell ran to do her chicken duty, and then Graham left for his house sitting gig. Then Anderson and I left for a doctor's appointment. His asthma has been more frequent so I convinced him to go to a doctor's appointment. She prescribed him some new meds, so hopefully they will help...and hopefully, we can easily get them tomorrow,
- Actually, Anderson and I barely made it to his doctor's appointment. I couldn't find keys to the van. I searched and searched and finally convinced myself that I lost them last time I drove (yesterday). later I found out that Robby had the keys, but thankfully, Anderson was able to rive.
- We came home, and soon Anderson was leaving to meet Graham and play volleyball. Then Campbell left to spend the night at a friend's house, and I have already had my hot chocolate!
March 24, 2026
- This second day of Spring Break was a good one. I woke up and started on my things. I did make granola bars this morning, but I don't think that anyone has touched them yet. I know that Graham and I like them so we will definitely eat them though.
- Campbell had a friend spend the night so I should have made them breakfast but didn't. I left the house fairly early to meet with a friend to discuss school things. We went to Newks and had a soup and sandwich while discussing all things high school homeschool.
- When I left there, I hurried to meet everyone else at Top Golf. The boys made a stop on the way there to get their hair cut. They all looked really nice-and Easter ready.
- Keaton and Campbell both brought two friends and the rest of us brought Grannymom. We had lots of fun and lots of food this afternoon while there. We also had excellent service today, and even though we stayed a long time, we could have stayed longer.
- Once we made it home, Campbell had more friends come over so they could watch a movie. I whipped up some cheese dip and chicken so they could have some chicken nachos. They ate, but most of us were still so full from all of our eating at Top Golf.
- Robby worked in the yard a little bit, and I did a few things in the house. Currently, Anderson is in the garage lifting weights, Keaton and Whitman are chatting in the kitchen, Campbell and Graham are upstairs, and I have been told that we are playing a game much later tonight!
March 23, 2026
- I guess this is the first official day of Spring Break. No one told Marley that it was Spring Break though because she was up earlier than usual. Robby did take her potty, and then she did hang out on the bed for a little bit.
- Even though it was Spring Break, I still had my chores to do this morning. Soon though Keaton and Graham were awake. They picked up Brett and headed to climb the hard side of Pinnacle. Keaton said that she barely made it up to the top. Apparently, the boys would stop and wait for her; then go ahead a little bit more and wait again.
- They came home from the mountain, and it wasn't too much later that the big boys left again to go and play basketball. Graham and Campbell didn't have to go to work today so Laynie came over.
- It didn't take long for the girls to decide that they needed to go shopping. They left to feed some chickens on their way, but then Robby and I decided that I would come and meet him, so the girls came back towards the house to pick me up.
- Whitman watched Marley for a while, and then put her up. The boys came home while she was asleep, and the girls even came home while she was asleep, but no one thought about getting her or checking on how long she had been asleep-so this was probably her longest time in the kennel.
- Before we made it home from our errands, the boys had already left again. This time they went to play volleyball with some more friends.
- The girls have been eating supper while Robby and I are sitting on the couch watching a cooking show while I'm thinking about what would be an easy snack to have tonight.
