• After our three movies and my hot chocolate last night, I slept well last night. Bentley was definitely the first one awake today. Whitman was the first kid awake today. 
• Robby cut his hair and did his treadmill time as I folded my clothes and unloaded the dishwasher. I eventually started cleaning my school room desk. I always try to clean the entire school room and closet when summer comes-maybe I am getting a bit anxious for summer. 
• Robby and I went to Sams and Walmart today. We enjoyed walking around the store-I even found a deal on hot chocolate. Also we even bought some ramen too for the kids. Ramen is a hot commodity around here. The kids love it-like it usually is a Christmas stocking/present treat. We now have plenty of ramen-probably enough to last all year long.
• I guess the next event was lunch-hot dogs and tater tots during the Hogs game. Keaton made her peanut butter cookies at half time. And yes, I did sleep a good bit during the game-it is difficult to sleep well with everyone cheering. 
• During the last few minutes of the game, it was very loud in our house. Poor Graham does quite a bit of pacing-even the last few seconds he continued to pace. It is comical to watch for sure.
• As soon as the game was over, we picked up and headed to Anderson's last basketball game. His team is just so much shorter than the others teams. They did okay today despite another loss. Anderson did make a three so that was fun for us. 
• There aren't a lot of people that come and watch the big kids' basketball games. And the crowd doesn't really get too involved either...except when Anderson scores. Then his cheering section gets a bit rowdy-he would say that we get embarrassingly rowdy.
• On the way home we did stop for a celebratory ChickFilA milkshake for Anderson, a cookie for Keaton who was the only Dennie kids that went with us, and a milkshake for Robby and I to split. We also picked up pizza for tonight's supper. 
• Once we were home, everyone ate early-Campbell has a friend over tonight, so she is having a blast. Actually, they have been pretty quiet for sure. I haven't seen much of them at all-just to eat. 
• Robby is currently snoozing in his chair, some folks have had their showers, some have not yet and I'm watching my first movie for the night.
