Keaton and Campbell left first this morning for work at Mother's Day Out. That just left Whitman, Graham, and I at home. I tried to encourage Whitman to take less breaks this morning, and he listened.
He actually finished everything by 1:30 today which included a 10 minute break and lunch. Now, I did let him skip one thing plus we didn't do all of our together work (probably would be an hour total but we split it up). I was glad to know that he can get his school work done in a timely manner.
I spent the morning making cornbread and pigs in a blanket plus trying to get school ready for next week. It was a pretty busy morning, but I was able to finish all of the most important things on my list-well, I did want to walk one more mile this afternoon but didn't get to it.
Whitman, Robby, and Bentley headed towards Lake Degray around 1:45. I was not too far behind them since Graham and I picked up the girls. I had intended to listen to my book on the way here. However, the kids are always pretty chatty in the car which I love. So instead of listening to my book, I just listened to them.
Robby had already parked and was setting up when we arrived. We drug a few things out, and then even set the tent up. We used to think that 3 nights was the perfect camping length-now, it think that is just way too short.
Unfortunately, this is only 3 nights; however, we have already had a good time. We sat outside this afternoon for a good while. I read some-I now have a real book to read and a book on my kindle to read-but I have been in a reading slump lately-maybe camping will help.
Shannon and Tony made supper tonight-grilled sandwiches. As soon as they ate, the hurried on the Tiger Tunes. Robby and I walked a mile and a half while Graham ran 2 and a half miles. He showered, and we hung his clothes outside.
Robby and I sat outside for a bit, but the bugs started to get bad so Robby lit a fire. It was perfect-the kids came outside and made s'mores, and the fire was cozy. We picked up Shannon from Ouachita plus we intended to go to Sonic on the way, but it was closed. Robby pulled into a gas station, and by the time that they got in line, it was to the back of the store. I just sat in the car laughing at the long line.
When we came back, we walked Annie and Bentley one last time before calling it a night. On our walk, Anderson did write to tell me that he made a 97 on his map test-even when I was at OBU everyone had to take Contemporary World where you had to take a map test naming every country in the world possibly plus other things as well. I was glad to hear that he did well on it-and that he thought about telling me!
