- Keaton paid Whitman a dollar to finish all of his school before 12:30-it I had only known that it was that easy. He grabbed math first, and zoomed on from there. It didn't take him long to finish all of his things, and by noon he was even done working with me. We usually work together twice, but we just did it all in one setting, and it worked just fine.
- Campbell and Keaton finished their school work for the week, which let's me get things ready for next week which I do really enjoy. I spent a good bit of time trying to figure out how many things Whitman could finish before the end of February and the end of March.
- Graham was getting ready for work today when he got a text saying that they wouldn't need them until next Monday. There was much rejoicing for the unexpected day off today. Campbell ended up spending her extra time napping!
- The afternoon seemed to fly by for me because I was trying to register Graham for something, and I struggled to make it work. I was able to do half today, so that leaves half for tomorrow. Then it was time for us to head to church.
- When I returned my library books, Campbell asked if that could have waited until next week. I tried to explain that we should do today what we can, and not put things off. I'm not sure they were listening during that little speech.
- After church, Campbell and Graham went to ChickFilA for supper while Whitman, Keaton, and I headed home, I had leftovers from when Reagan came so they were delicious. Whitman had pizza, and Keaton had some cheese dip!

February 10, 2026
- We were back to regularly scheduled programming this morning. We started our day with me reading to Keaton and Whitman-neither of them could stay awake so maybe I should move bedtime up a little bit.
- Everyone did their school, and things went incredibly smoothly. Whitman even seemed to zoom through his school work today. He still had some things to do this afternoon, but he was still done much earlier than usual.
- Campbell and Graham had eye appointments this afternoon. Campbell went to another doctor today. He did a few different things, but still gave her the same prescription. This is not a glasses year for our insurance, but she is anxious to change things up a little bit. Graham's eyes are a little bit worse, but not yet bad enough to need glasses.
- After the appointment, we headed to Nonna and Pops' house to check on her. I think that Nonna was doing really well. She was moving around and certainly didn't seem as loopy as she did yesterday.
- We came home, and I laid down for 20 minutes-I have been exhausted the last few days. Then I hurried around making 3 pans of pigs in a blanket. I took two to my class meeting tonight and the other pan was devoured around here.
- Class meeting was a favorite things class meeting-so we all brought 4 favorite things, and left with 4 different favorite things. It was a lot of fun, and I got a few of the things that I wanted.
- Campbell spent the evening at a basketball game with some friends and is still out and about. Everyone else spent a quiet evening in the house.
February 9, 2026
- I was up pretty early this morning because today was Nonna's new knee day. They had to be at the hospital at 5:30 so of course they were there a little bit early, like at 5. I didn't make it until 7:30, but In was able to see Nonna before they wheeled her away.
- I sat with Pops for a bit, but then we went to the cafe to get breakfast. I wasn't going to eat anything, but I saw scones like the church has so I couldn't pass them up. We ate, and then Jason joined us. They said it would take over an hour because her knee was pretty bad, and it took all of that time plus another hour and a half in recovery. That was fine though because we were moved to her room, and I spent my time crocheting.
- Nonna made it back to her room around noon, and she was groggy for the rest of the time that I was there, and pretty much for the rest of the evening. I come home around 3, and while I had been gone the kids did their school work plus Graham and Campbell went to work this afternoon.
- When I did get home, I had to check quite a bit of work, and then it was time to get ready for tonight's party.
- Campbell had 13 friends come over tonight, and Keaton had 3 friends. It was a house full of girls. We had ham and cheese croissants, but the girls all brought boards, and they were all so creative-a popcorn board, bread board, candy board, veggie board, fruit board, caramel apple board, hot chip board, and chip and dip board are the ones that I can remember. There was so much food!
- Campbell and Keaton had done the decorations so cute. After the girls ate, Graham and Keaton had prepared a Family Feud game for them to play. Then they decorated cakes which took the rest of the evening.
- When it was over, the girls went to town cleaning up the kitchen. When I came in the kitchen things were pretty much back to normal-it took a little bit of time to clean up everything, but Campbell, Keaton, and Graham all helped so now the house is pretty straight with just a few things left to do tomorrow.
- I did make a mistake and sit down on the couch-I should not have done that because I'm so tired that I'm not sure if I can get up and head to bed!
February 8, 2026
- I heard Campbell and Keaton stirring above us this morning. They had to be at church early to greet people at the doors. They would do anything to get to come to church early. Robby and I did all we could to stay in the bed as long as we could this morning, and that was evident as we scurried around the house to leave.
- We all did the church and Sunday school thing this morning. Then Campbell and Keaton drove in the new car to Grannymom and made it just a little bit after the rest of us did. Grannymom had sliders which were delicious and perfect for a Super Bowl Sunday.
- Robby and I ran to Walmart and Sams after lunch. We bought things for tonight's supper, more icing for tomorrow (I will not even write how many cans of icing I have acquired for tomorrow's party, but I don't want to run out), plus we bought food for me to make for class meeting Tuesday night, and then we ended with doing a bit of shopping for someone else.
- We came home, and not too long after unloading and doing some straightening, Reagan and her friends showed up. I think that Reagan was glad to see that Marley remembered her. Her friends and her played a few games with Graham, Campbell, and Whitman (Keaton had already gone to lifegroup.)
- I made a chicken, sweet potato, and broccoli sheet pan meal while Robby provided the Super Bowl meal of pizza. Reagan's friends had some of both, but Reagan just had mine-she is trying to eat gluten free right now to see if that helps her tummy troubles. I even made gluten free cookies which weren't really like cookies, but more like chocolate globs, but they were still pretty good.
- Reagan and her people headed back to school, and then Campbell left to go and pick up Keaton. The rest of us, even Whitman, are all in the living room kind of watching the Super Bowl.
February 7, 2026
- Graham was the first one up this morning. He had to leave early this morning to go to Ouachita for a leadership meeting. Reagan and Anderson both went to this, but this year it was not an over night event so he had to leave fairly early this morning.
- Robby left at the same time and picked up Graham a bit of breakfast on the way. Robby stayed out for a little bit and ran some errands while Graham went on to Ouachita.
- I laid in bed for a few minutes, but then I was up and started baking. Campbell and Keaton are having a little bit of a Valentine's party on Monday night, so today I made 24 heart shaped cakes. I was able to make 5 at a time, so it did take me all morning long.
- Campbell woke up around 11 and went to work setting up and decorating the table and really the entire kitchen. It is going to be a cute and fun party. Robby came home, and pretty soon after he made it home, I finished my cakes and took myself a good long nap.
- Campbell and Keaton left to go and babysit around 5. Graham finished his meeting around 4:30, but he found his brother watching the OBU basketball game so he stayed and watched the end of the game. Then he ran to the cafeteria to see his sister for a few minutes before heading home. We met him and headed to his basketball game.
- His team won his basketball game tonight-it wasn't pretty, but they were ahead the entire time. Graham does enjoy playing basketball and so do all of his teammates so it is fun to watch them have a good time.
- We picked up supper on the way home. Then after eating, I straightened the bonus room, and now I just need to crochet a few more squares before bedtime.
February 6, 2026
- It was kind of a slow day around here. I would have stayed in bed longer but Marley wouldn't lay down with us for very long, so it was just easier for me to get up and start my day. Without school to do, things were fairly quiet. I knocked out a few chores, and then during Marley's first nap time, Bentley and I went on a walk.
- By the time that I came back, Campbell and Graham were stirring. They ate their lunches and headed off to work. I think that they thought they wouldn't have a whole lot to do, but they were there the whole time.
- I didn't see Keaton too much today, but she would pop down every so often and check on Marley. I had to wake Whitman so we could do his school work that was left over from yesterday. I narrowed down the things that we had to do together so he didn't really have too much other work to do.
- Campbell and Graham came home, and I left soon after they came home. Campbell left right behind me-she picked up a friend, went to eat at Chilis, did some shopping at Target, and then bought a shake at Sonic. She had a big night.
- When I left Whitman was working on making 3d glasses. I'm not sure if he had any luck or not. I'm not sure what Keaton was doing, but Graham was asking about what we were eating. He didn't get supper tonight and had to eat what he could find, but he did get ice cream when Robby and I came home.
February 5, 2026
- This was a pretty different school day-Campbell and Keaton went to Mother's Day Out, and around 10:30 Whitman left the house too. That just left Graham and me at the house this morning, and he doesn't need me for school.
- The girls ere glad to be back at Mother's Day Out after missing for the snow day. They really enjoy their Thursdays with the kids.
- Robby took Whitman to Nonna and Pops' house. It was a big day for him because he was cashing in on his Christmas gift-he received a visit to Dave and Busters from Nonna and Pops for Christmas. Since they were there pretty early, there were very few folks around which was nice, and Whitman was able to play quite a few games. They ended their day with lunch at ChickFilA, and Whitman thoroughly enjoyed his day.
- Whitman came home, and then Robby and I left to meet the girls. First we ran to Walmart, and then we took them to Texas Roadhouse for supper. Campbell was giddy driving around in the new car today, so after our supper Keaton and Campbell left to run some errands. Robby and I did a few errands of our own.
- We came home with leftover for Graham, and Whitman opted to slice my bread, which was fresh out of the oven, and make himself a grilled cheese. The girls made it home soon after we did, and then Robby made some rice krispy treats for supper...and now it is time to wake up Marley for just a few minutes before we all go to bed.
