• No one was awake this morning when I went through waking everyone up. Thankfully, everyone did wake up pretty quickly. Whitman and Keaton were both wide awake this morning while I was reading so I was glad about that-it makes things a lot easier. Otherwise, I have to read a few sentences and then shout at Keaton to wake up. 
• We did school plus I helped Graham with quite a bit of Spanish. I can definitely say that Spanish 2 will be a challenge, but it will better for him to take it now than later. Keaton and Campbell were both finished super early which was a good thing.
• Campbell and Keaton being done early was a good thing because Campbell made sourdough bread and rolls. Keaton made cookie dough for later in the week. And tonight in the youth was the feast. Keaton made her puppy chow yesterday, and Whitman made his corn flake cookies last night. This afternoon Graham made corn casserole while Campbell made hashbrown casserole. It was quite a busy day for my kitchen.
• On our way to church tonight, we stopped at the library and then ran to two stores at the outlets. Plus there was a big discussion in the car if Keaton could have successfully driven to church. Graham said she could while I said that she could not have. (We were talking about driving to church when the roads were a little bit quieter and not when things are crazy at 5:30 when we normally drive there on Wednesday nights)
• The kids enjoyed the feast, but afterwards we still stopped at ChickFilA to pick up our free nuggets. Most people saved theirs for later, but there were a few that were eaten this evening. I never really did get supper so maybe I will have some now or maybe some hot chocolate!
