• Keaton and Campbell left around 10ish this morning and go and babysit. They were able to get quite a bit of their school work finished before leaving, but Keaton and I weren't able to finish her math. We will have to do that tomorrow which will be another short day for her-and me.
• Since the weather was a little bit stormy, I reminded them that if the sirens did go off to just go to the bathroom with some books and snacks and make it fun, not scary. Thankfully, they didn't have to worry about that though.
• Whitman did some of his school work last night which was incredibly nice. We were able to zoom through his work, and just left his science activity to do this afternoon. We built a beam bridge in his science yesterday, and today we turned it into a truss bridge. We have used so much hot glue in his science curriculum-probably we have used more hot glue than I have ever used before in my life.
• I left at noon to go and have lunch with some friends. (I have lunch out tomorrow too.) We visited for a while, and then when we left, I could tell that the storm was coming. However, I had two errands to run-first to Walmart. I was in and out pretty quickly with it just starting to rain as I left.
• Then I debated stopping at Academy, but I was so close even though it just about to pour. By the time that I was leaving, it was pouring! I was drenched and it was crazy raining. However, I was kind of fine with it-I drove slowly home and was able to listen to my book longer...except some times the rain was so heavy I couldn't hear my book.
• Once I made it home, I unpacked my things and then worked with Whitman for a little bit on our bridge building. It wasn't too long before Keaton and Campbell came home. Graham had already run quite a bit this morning, but he played basketball for a long time tonight too. And the whole time he was playing, Campbell was trying to get a group together to go and eat. She did leave for a minute and made it down the road until her friend let her know that she couldn't come.
• Robby and I are now on the couch watching tv-and I'm trying to decide if I would like to have some ice cream or if I would like to have some hot chocolate.
