• For a Monday morning, I had a super long list. I think that I was able to mark off most of that list though-or at least the things that needed to happen. We started our morning with school. Usually, I work with Keaton near last during the morning, but today she needed help with math so I helped her first. This caused my whole schedule to be a bit different today which was actually fine with me-kind of spiced things up. 
• Around noon, I headed out to work in the yard with Robby. I called Whitman to come and help. Then after seeing exactly how many leaves the one section that we were going to work on today actually had, I text Keaton and Anderson to come and help. Graham even ended up outside for about 10 minutes and helped. Usually, Campbell isn't too excited about going to work, but today while she and Graham drove off with the rest of us working in the yard, I know that she was happy to be avoiding yard work.
• We worked for about two and a half hours, and we were really able to do more than we planned. We intend to work in the yard every day this week so we can really know it out. We shall see though how long our stamina holds. Plus since Robby bought the workers Sonic drinks, this might be quite an expensive project.
• This afternoon I started on the clean the house project. Reagan is bringing a few friends home to Easter plus Easter lunch will be at our house. I did the bonus room today, but I can't really do much else in the house since these people are messy-some more than others.
• I went to soccer practice today since Robby, Keaton, and Whitman had to practice and since Anderson (intern), Graham, and Campbell (pictures) were all out there working. I didn't want to be left home alone and since supper was already in the crock pot and it was a nice night, I quite enjoyed it-though some time cuddled up on the couch would have been good too.
• Everyone got home right after I had finished working on supper so we all ate in the living room. Then people started on their showers while I am spending a good deal of time trying to decide exactly which ice cream I would like to eat tonight!
