  • The big two were the only ones who had a little bit of school to do today, so no one was really up early. Everyone had some packing to do, but that never takes incredibly long.
  • Actually, Campbell and Keaton have been packing for a few days. I mostly did Whitman's earlier today while Anderson does all of his. Now, Graham likes for me to neatly fold his clothes and double check that he has everything. 
  • The boys did their school work, and then I soon left to stay with Pops while Nonna ran to a doctor's appointment. I told them as I left that I was "going to babysit Pops." Whitman said, "I believe the correct tern is 'eldersit.'" That boy can be a mess for sure.
  • I came home and did a few things, and then it was time for the kids to leave. Keaton and Whitman have their Big Chill weekend at church. Campbell is on the production team meaning that her group has to get everything prepared and make things run smoothly during the week. Anderson is leading the 7th grade boys while Graham is working with the 8th grade boys. They spend the evening at church and are all already at their host homes. 
  • After they left, Robby and I went to eat at Heights Tacos and Tamales. Our wait was over an hour-the first 2/3s of the wait we were right in the middle of the crowd so there were lots of conversations to listen to. The last 1/3 of the wait we started to get a little cold.
  • We came just for the tomato marmalade salsa, and it did not disappoint. But really, the rest of our food did kind of disappoint. We don't eat out much anymore because usually when we do, we leave saying "well, that was fine, but I don't have to go back anytime soon." We said that tonight-though we may go and pick up the salsa sometime-does that make us old? Probably so.
