• We again treated this Friday like a Saturday and slept in. It was nice, but when I did get out of bed, I quickly started on my list. Don't be too impressed because the items marked "clean something" and "work in the yard" were easily avoided by me today and the items marked "crochet" and "make banana bread" were the first things that I did. 
• I did take Keaton to Target today to buy a present for her friend's birthday party that she went to tonight. We walked all around that store and quickly found the present, but Keaton also found herself a drink plus a shirt.
• When we came home, it was time for Graham and Campbell to go to work. Soon after Whitman asked around for someone to play a game with-he spends most of his time alone so I can't really say no so I played the game while I crocheted. 
• Then around 2, I had plans to work in the yard, and I did walk outside, but then I just turned around and went back in the house and took a nap. Two things happened-I was overwhelmed and I thought there were 2 weeks until Easter. 
• I found out that Easter is next Sunday just tonight-I thought that I had one more week to at least make some plans. I'm trying not to get overwhelmed because I had a long mental list divided over two nice long weeks-yard, eggs, Easter baskets, food, clean the house, cookies-but now all of that is squeezed into one week. None of this should stress me out-the egg prizes are just going to be gift cards (I had some candy to put in them, but I guess I didn't hide it well enough), the Easter baskets are always pretty lame, the house doesn't take long if people help, and I don't do much of the food. 
• This evening I took Campbell to ride with Eden to go to church. She did childcare tonight-she has spent quite a bit of time at the church house this week. Then we picked up a friend, ran back by the house because Keaton forgot her present (it was on the way), and took them to a birthday party.
• The big boys had already left to go to Rock Creek tomorrow, and Robby and I left soon after to go to the Wilson's house for supper. We visited and watched the ballgame until it was finally time for us to come home and go to bed-tomorrow will be an early day and a busy day.
