• We all did the school thing this morning, well, all of us except for Campbell. She went to babysit someone's grandkids for a bit this morning. She did say that it was an adventure. Since she was gone, it was a bit quieter for me-there was not as much school for me to check. 
• I was able to go and pick Campbell up. Then I hurried home to take Graham to take his accuplacer test. He needed a score of 251, and last time his score was about 243. However, his school was 250-so he didn't quiet get the score he needed, but he is super close. 
• We still celebrated that close score with Chickfila (it was free) on our way home. Plus I have already rescheduled the test for next Tuesday...and if he doesn't pass, I have already decided we will do it next Thursday too. 
• We came home, and I took a walk-actually, I took a walk with Whitman's pokemon. I had to stop and try to feed it, but then I couldn't feed it. Since I didn't want to kill it, I headed home. I enjoy him (Whitman, not the pokemon) walking with me during the afternoons more than I enjoy babysitting his pokemon.
• When I did come home, Whitman and I watched the movie that I had checked out from the library. (Last time I checked out a movie from the library, my dad fell and spent a few days in the hospital, and when I checked out this movie Grandpa started getting really sick. Robby told me that I can't borrow any more movies from the library.)
• We watched White Bird-it was very good. We have all read the book and at one time the book was one of Keaton's favorites. Whitman and I watched all of the movie, and then we all loaded up to go and eat at Grannymom's house. 
• We stayed over there for a bit tonight watching the baseball game. When we did get home, the boys played basketball for a bit, and then everyone slowly took showers. Right now, Keaton and Whitman are making popsicles-and it is well past bedtime.
• When I was talking to the kids about how kind people had been today, I mentioned that we have had so many offers of food that I have turned down. Whitman and Graham decided that if someone asked them what they could do, they would say, "my grandmother really loves s'mores pop tarts."
