• I am not too sure what time Keaton and her friends went to bed last night, but they were up at a decent time this morning making smoothies in the kitchen. The blender was pretty loud and woke the others up or they were already up, but Keaton did end up making Whitman a smoothie as well.
• I am not really sure what Keaton and her people did for the rest of the morning because I left with the big boys. Graham had a free bundt cake for his birthday, so he drove us there first. He did just fine, but there is a big difference between driving on Lawson and driving on Chenal. There aren't too many cars on Lawson right in front of you, but there is on Bowman and Chenal. He did fine though except every blasted stop light we went through turned yellow right as he was going through them.
• From there, we went to get their hair cut. I know that I have said it before but man, I wish I had learned how to cut the boys' hair. Like somewhere along the way I should have taken some classes. I would be good at putting together a list of classes for others to take-basic hair cutting, bread making, chocolate chip cookie making, etc. Now, I couldn't teach any of the classes, but I would certainly sign up for them.
• And back to the chocolate chip cookie making-yesterday was chocolate chip cookie day. I am not sure if I mentioned it. I thought that I would make cookies; however, we only had about a cup of chocolate chips so I saw one of my recipes used just that. I read that they were to be flat and crispy, but mine were just a flop! I would attend the cookie making class for sure.
• I wasn't home too long from the hair place when it was time to leave again. We dropped off one friend at her house, dropped off another friend at the birthday party that we were taking Campbell too, and then dropped the last friend at her house. Then Keaton and I came home right before it started to rain.
• While it rained, Robby and I took a cat nap on the couch. We had started watching a youtube video, but soon it was over, and we were still snoozing. We couldn't rest for too long because soon it was time to pick up Campbell and her friend that was spending the night. 
• We picked them up and then ran into Kroger to get a few things. Afterwards, we picked up pizza from two different places-the meaty pizza and the not so meaty pizza. Even though it was just 6 when we made it home, we all devoured it like we hadn't really eaten all day.
• Some of the kids had showers, some of the kids had their second showers of the day. So many towels and so many clothes that we wash every day. 
• Keaton and Laynie are making cookies or something in the kitchen right now while I hope to eat some ice cream later and just sit on this couch for the rest of the evening!
