• Today was Reagan's last day to house sit so she met us at church this morning. I think that she enjoyed house sitting, but she did say that she was a little bit bored. Yesterday was probably long for her to just be at someone's house with nothing really to do.
• This was the third Sunday morning that I have taught Sunday school this year, but this was the first time that I didn't go to church late in the week and set my room up. Before things started, I went to make copies, and the copy machine didn't work. So I had to send Robby to make copies in the real office. He had to find the code and then came back with 17 copies. By that time we had over 20 kids who had shown up, so back down the hall he went.
• Thankfully, I had gotten the paints and paintbrushes in the room, but I still didn't have the scissors or glue stick out-it all worked out just fine, but I was a bit stressed. I realize now I just need to go to church during the week to set things up each week especially when we have over 20 kids in our class. 
• Campbell worked in worship care during church, and Keaton and Campbell went upstairs to the Venue so the three of them finished later than the rest of us. That was fine since Reagan had a car so they met us at Grannymom's house.
• And at Grannymom's house, we celebrated September birthdays-Robbys, Reagans and Keatons. For lunch their was Graham's favorite too-corn casserole along with watermelon that Campbell has been dying for me to buy. So everyone let happy!
• Once we made it home, I worked with the boys on science for about 15 minutes before leaving to take Whitman to his life group. They learned about having a Quiet Time, had ice cream sundeas, and then played with water balloons. 
• Alyssa brought him home and left with Reagan for their lifegroup. Reagan didn't get home until after 10 and had a great time. Anderson and Graham left next for their lifegroup, and finally I took Keaton and Campbell to their lifegroup. 
• After dropping off the girls, Robby and I tried to clean up the house for a little bit-I think that it is just hopeless. I suggested just moving and starting over in a clean and organized house, but Robby didn't go for that. 
• Soon the Wilsons arrived, and we had our Sunday night supper. Tonight we had breakfast-pancakes, sausage and egg in the hole. Egg in the hole is my personal favorite. We ended the meal with the traditional breakfast dessert of ice cream! 
• The kids came in from the groups, and eventually the football game that was on tv was over. We then started sending kids to bed in hopes that everyone will wake up happily on Monday morning.
