PALS!

Highlights from today: (Click here for pictures)

• School morning for Reagan and Anderson and we were early as usual.  I am going to have to start bringing something for us to do in the car if we continue arriving so early to school.
• After dropping Anderson off, Campbell decided she needed to wear Reagan’s backpack and hold her lunch box.  She did this all of the way to Pops’ office and then to Reagan’s class.  At Reagan’s class, Reagan took it, opened it up and put her blanket in the blanket spot and then put her lunch box where the lunch boxes go.  Next Reagan started to hang her backpack on her chair.  Campbell saw all of this and promptly returned Reagan’s lunch box to her and then tried to hang it on the back of another chair.
• At Nonna’s house, Campbell saw the neighbor mowing (also with a bald head) and started waving, screaming “hi, papaw.”  It took us forever to coax her in the house-the whole time she was screaming “hi, papaw.”
• Robby was on his way to pick up Anderson but was a few minutes late so we called Pops to grab him for a few minutes.  Soon Robby was there and then he dropped Anderson off at Nonna’s as well.  I had been at a dentist appointment and then worked around the house for a few minutes. 
• Soon I headed out to pick them all up and arrived just in time for a bit of lunch.  The roofers were supposed to be there today and Graham was pretty disappointed but maybe he will get to see them tomorrow at lunch. 
• When the boys and Campbell made it home, she took a nap and the boys watched a movie or two while I worked on their closet.  It is spic and span and also almost ready for winter.  The dreaded girls closet will be done Wednesday.  A little while after playing at the house, it was time to load back up and pick up Reagan.
• She didn’t have too much to say about school today.  Though tonight she told me that they learned a new song “There’s no place like Chihuahua.”  I think that sounds like a very interesting song but it probably was “There’s no God like Jehovah.” 
• I finished up the closet while the kids played some more and then we had a bit of supper.  Robby was running a few errands on his way home so he made it home a bit later than usual.  He worked in the yard a bit after the kids put on their pajamas and then it was bedtime….
• Well, almost.  Anderson has complained a few times about his ears hurting today and tonight I heard him crying in his sleep so I brought him downstairs to watch me write the blog.  I just asked if he wanted to say something to any of our faithful readers and he just shook his head-probably because the tv is on!  Wish us luck for the rest of the night!
