• This morning Anderson and Graham went to Nonna and Pops' house to work in their yard for a little bit. Anderson did the mowing while Graham weed eated. Anderson was more confident in the mowing, than Graham was in his week eating skills. He was afraid that he butchered Pops' yard, but that kind of is the point.
• I did confirm with Pops that they did a good job. He was pleased with their work, so that was all that mattered. When they came home, they mentioned that the back tire looked low, so Robby went out to check that.
• Robby ended up taking Campbell and Keaton to babysit and then taking the car to the tire shop. There was a nail in the tire which Robby thought would be an easy and inexpensive fix. However, the front tires were wearing quite a bit, so they had to replaced. That part was not inexpensive even though the hole was patched for free.
• The girls babysat for about 3 hours and came home with a good payday and a drink that the mom had bought for them. They babysit tomorrow night plus Campbell babysits Saturday night and Tuesday. This is going to a be a profitable week for them for sure.
• When I came home with the girls, Graham left soon after to go and play basketball. He made it home a little bit before Reagan and Anderson left to go to church tonight. Really, someone is always gone around here-It feels a bit chaotic, but it is just summer with teenagers.
• Reagan went to play pickleball after church while Graham went to meet Anderson and others playing volleyball. It is just now 10 so I don't expect anyone home for a little bit-the volleyball usually breaks up before 11, and the pickleball lights turn off at 11, but then Reagan usually goes to Sonic.
• Last night everyone was home, so I was able to go to bed a bit early. It was nice! I have been waiting to take my shower until they all come home-I go to the kitchen to get the scoop about their evening and usually find out quite a bit of information.
• I made pasta for supper, and Campbell made beignets for dessert, and Shannon even came over with cookies so we had a bit evening. Earlier in the evening, Robby had made breakfast burritos, but I still haven't scooped them up yet!
