• It was a fairly busy day-we started off the morning with our regular school routine. My morning reading pile continues to get smaller each day. This makes me happy, but I think that it makes Whitman a bit disappointed since he loves listening to me read.
• After reading, it was time for everyone to start on their daily school work. Graham is getting ready for a test tomorrow while Anderson is getting ready for his big Accuplacer test on Wednesday (start praying now for that because it will be hard for him). 
• I didn't really see Reagan today. She only has one thing that she has to do for me so I let her sleep this morning. She had work at 1 and is still there right now (7:30) taking soccer pictures. I am sure that she will exhausted and hungry when she get in tonight.
• Around 1, Anderson and Graham went to Grannymom's house for a little bit to help her in the yard. While they were gone, I made Whitman do a little bit of soccering outside. After a quick treadmill walk, we loaded up to go to Defy.
• Keaton and Whitman were the only ones that we could convince to go, but they stayed for over an hour so I am sure that they had fun. I read some of my book, but I also closed my eyes for a little bit as well. 
• On the way home, we picked up Whitman's Subway sandwich. The April Subway sandwich spreadsheet is getting full for sure. He ate his sandwich while Robby worked on tonight's supper.
• While he was doing that, Graham drove me over to Nonna and Pops' house. They brought us 2 huge boxes of candy that I am going to have to hide because people went to town on it when we did get home.
• We ate when Graham and I made it home. Then the boys ended up outside playing basketball after Graham finished his vacuuming (that is the one chore that I can not let slide. It has to be done each day.) Whitman is out there trying out his new water gun so I am definitely staying inside. Just as I was writing that, Robby headed out towards the camper. We shall see how wet he gets!
