• After my walk this morning, I woke up the big boys so they could go and mow Pops' front yard. It didn't take them long at all, and soon they were already back home.
• Keaton and Campbell didn't have much school time this morning because they had to babysit this morning at 10:30. I let them skip a few non important things, but today was a good reminder that they are going to have to cram a lot more school into just 3 days when they start working at Mother's Day Out again in a few weeks.
• Reagan said that she was awake most of the night last night because she was thinking about moving in. She is so looking forward to going back to school-she loves moving in and getting to organize and arrange things plus this time she doesn't have the stress of it all being new and needing to make friends. 
• So really, it was just Whitman and me doing school today. He still ended up with 3 things after lunch, but I'm just going to be okay with that. Only 3 things after lunch is a good goal, and surprisingly, he seems to fly through his math when he does it after lunch. Growing up we always did math when we came in from recess, so maybe there really was something to that.
• I picked up Keaton and Campbell from their babysitting gig. They had fun and were well rewarded so it was a win for them. Reagan, Keaton, and I ran to Grannymom's house to drop off some shirts that Reagan wanted hemmed. 
• Then we hurried home so she could get ready for church tonight. Reagan and Anderson have really enjoyed the young adults church services on Thursday nights this summer. This was officially the first fall one after summer, but since they were still here, they went. 
• Afterwards, Graham met Anderson to play volleyball. I haven't looked but I know that they will end up at Sonic. Reagan went to another Sonic with some friends to play volleyball. I would think since there are less people in town now, everyone will be home at a decent time, but maybe I should go ahead and start my dishwasher so I can have something to when they all come in. 
• Keaton, Campbell, Robby, and I went to eat at Texas Roadhouse this evening. After we ate, we dropped the girls off and went to visit with the Wilson's for a little bit.
