Funny Face!

Highlights from today: (Click here for pictures)

• Last night there was quite a bit of excitement around the house-Robby had caught the mouse's tail.  It had gotten stuck in one of the traps and Robby was pleased to show it off to me and the kids.  Reagan was probably the most excited of all and shouted "if there was school tomorrow, I could take it to show and tell."- just love her!
• Keaton had started waking around 6ish for her bottle and before she can finish, the rest of the kids are going strong.  They played for a bit in the toy room and then everyone ended up in bed with me and Keaton.  When Robby left, we were all sitting on my bed.  It was pretty crowded with 6 of us in the bed-might have to get that king size bed.
• We made cinnamon biscuit for breakfast while I ran (literally) around the house to straighten, empty the trash, start laundry and take a shower.  You can get alot done while biscuits are in the oven.  
• Next up was school-Keaton is so cute sitting in her bumbo and everyone saying the memory work keeps her happy for quite awhile.  We had almost finished school when Nonna and Pops stopped by.  Reagan shouted from the school room "I'm coming, I just have one sentence left."  And she indeed finished her sentence before coming to eat the donuts that they had brought.  Campbell devoured hers and then was ready for her 3rd when we cut her off-she was not pleased at all about this.
• Nonna and Pops stayed for a quite awhile and played.  Pops played hide and seek with the kids and I can remember playing hide and seek with my grandpa too.  While they were playing hard, I was working hard packing.  5 kids really equals alot of clothes and I packed light.  Oh, well, I don't think the kids will mind traveling with a suitcase in their laps.
• We had lunch (I guess but I can't remember what it was right now) and then a nap for Campbell.  I fed Keaton and we snoozed on the couch until I woke up and lost my mind.  I decided that the boys needed their hair cut and needed it cut immediately.  It had gotten pretty long for them.  Robby usually cuts their hair but surprisingly Graham did better for me than he ever does for Robby.  He was probably worried that I didn't know what I was doing and was going to cut him.
• Next up was supper and then church.  Reagan didn't have Sparks tonight but did have a special speaker.  She opted to stay with us and even got to see Robby and I both be the puppets.  She said she wouldn't tell the boys but I wonder when she will and what she will tell them.  Though Anderson knows that we are often the puppets but I am not sure that Graham knows yet.  
• At home we took a few pictures of the kids, changed into our pjs and everyone headed to bed.  Another good, good day.
