• Graham and Anderson were the only ones who were hungry this morning.  Whitman didn't really care and Keaton slept until we were already passing out breakfast.  Robby helped everyone get breakfast and did auction off the 2 leftover honey buns-the going price was cleaning 2 potties for 1 honey bun.  The boys both took one but we told them that their payment would be required another day.
• Soon after breakfast Robby, Keaton and Anderson went to the grocery store and then picked up Reagan from Grannymom's house.  Meanwhile, Whitman watched his movies and played trains.  Graham also watched movies and played the xbox.  My Campbell helped me prepare the ice cream and cookies.  We even painted some outside and before I knew it, she had ridden off to the neighbor's house and there she stayed until almost time for us to leave.
• When Robby came home, he made the ice cream with help from Anderson and Whitman.  Keaton and Graham rode down the street and at one time Keaton came home telling us that the neighbors were "going to get the things that make milk."  We were pretty surprised that they were getting cows but anything seems to go out here (at one time we had 2 different neighbors with toilets in their front yards!)  Later we asked Campbell about where the cows were going to go in the neighbor's yard and she said that it wasn't cows, it was goats. That does make a bit more sense.
• The afternoon seemed to fly by but that might be because we didn't heat up lunch (leftover fish from last night) until 3.  And a bit after 4, we loaded up for Anderson's Sunday school party.  He has a small class so only 3 other kiddos were there but with our kids and the McGuire kids, it was a bit party.  We had hot dogs, chips, popsicles, cookies, watermelon and ice cream.  It was lots of fun and the kids all came home pretty quiet-which meant they were tired!  After showers, everyone went on to bed since tomorrow is another big day!
