• Snow day 6 possibly. Campbell and Keaton usually have Mother's Day Out on Thursdays, so they have already finished their school work finished for the week. That just left Graham and Whitman doing their school today. 
• I am glad that they had to do work today because I have had to keep reminding myself that today is Thursday. I've done quite a bit today, so I'm not really sure what I will do tomorrow. Now please don't misunderstand; there is plenty of things that I don't want to do that I could do (like clean the bathrooms).
• Whitman did his school work today, and he continues to finish things...and then I continue to add things! Though I think I'm adding fun-ish things, but he may not think that.
• Robby left the house today to run a few errands...and he barely made it home. He was driving the suburban because he certainly still needed its 4 wheel drive. He got to Grannymom's house to drop off her supper, but by the time he got there, the suburban had already stalled on him and was making a horrible noise.
• Grannymom and I prayed him all the way home. The kids were all looking out the windows to watch the last time they would be driving that suburban. The best he can tell, using the 4 wheel drive of the suburban probably made whatever happened happen sooner. Either way, it was going to happen, and we are glad that it happened with Robby driving it and not Graham driving it to Arkadelphia next weekend.
• The Suburban has over 404,000 miles on it. I'm not sure exactly how many miles it had on it when we got it. I do remember praying around 380k that we could make it to 400k, so we are thankful for those extra few thousand miles. Though we are now in a little bit of a pickle until that is replaced, but we will make it work.
• Robby had supper with him so the kids ate plus he had groceries. He did forget he regular butter, but he did remember the extra special butter. We used this butter tonight to try to replicate Shannon's cookies. We did decide that we need to up our oven temperature and lower the rack, but Graham did say that they were "pretty good" so we will take that as a win.
