• I was up in plenty of time this morning so I didn't have to scurry around. I was able to do a few chores plus make some muffins for Laynie's breakfast. We left a few minutes early and dropped Laynie off on the way home. Campbell had spent a long time last night doing Laynie's nails, and they were quiet impressive.
• Then I dropped the girls off to babysit. I hurried on to Academy to pick up another pair of shorts for Anderson, and then I went to Walmart to buy snacks for the beach camp goers (Campbell, Anderson, and Graham).
• I came back home and did a few things around the house-the not so fun activities included cleaning the shower and organizing a closet. The fun items were working on Anderson's college stuff (it's like a scavenger hunt around the house finding things plus every time I go to the store I buy a few things he needs.) and helping Graham fill out his application to Ouachita.
• Soon it was time to pick up Campbell and Keaton. They made good money, so we went off to spend it. Our first stop was the revenue office for Reagan to get her real id. We waited a bit over 30 minutes, but since we were in Bryant I think that our wait was less than it would have been in Little Rock. 
• Then we went to TJMax. Everyone found something there-I had just bought Keaton sports bras, so when Campbell and Reagan both found some, I had to volunteer to pay for those too. Keaton found two other tops that she bought plus she found a birthday present for a friend.
• While we were home between Campbell and Keaton's jobs, I made banana bread with Whitman. The recipe is our standard, but it is delicious. He made the whole thing himself because I was busy with other things around the kitchen-I did melt the butter and spray the pan, but other than that I was no help to him at all except for clean up.
• I left again with Campbell and Keaton to take them to church to keep kids tonight. Usually they are just paid in camp money, but tonight they were paid in cash so that was fun. After dropping them off, I picked up ChickFilA for Graham and Reagan who had gift cards Anderson had a gift card, but he opted to save it for another time. 
• I came home and offered to fix Whitman a snacky supper so I filled a muffin tin with everything I could think of. It was a lot of food, but I think that he ate it all. I did sit down for a few minutes, but soon it was time to leave again to pick up the girls. They wanted to go to ChickFilA on the way home, and since they had both made plenty of money today, we stopped there. 
• On the way home, Campbell asked what we were doing tomorrow, and I told her that I did not know what we were doing, but I did know that I was not driving them anywhere at all!...though I'm sure I will.
