Blue-eyed Girl!

(click here for today's pictures)

• So when we set down at night after tucking the kids in, we both have our computers and I play around on mine for a bit (pinterest and facebook) and then start on the blog.  By this time, Robby has finished watching the news and turns on some interesting show that I can't keep my eyes off.  So this means that I spend at least an hour trying to write the blog because I am so distracted.  I might should find a new place to work-a quiet place.
• This morning was work and school morning.  Everyone got ready fairly quickly and we all made it on time.  This was the first week in awhile that I hadn't come home after seeing my kids for work so Robby had all morning to work peacefully from home.  
• Reagan, Anderson, Campbell and Keaton spent the morning at Grannymom's house.  Everyone but Keaton did their school work this morning-I sent quite a bit today (at least the things that I don't like doing!-ha!)  Reagan was quite proud of her rocket ship that she made and Anderson was pleased that they had spent nearly all day outside.  
• Graham had school and then Nonna picked him up. In the church parking lot, the fireman were running the water out of the fire hydrant and Nonna stopped so they could watch it.  And soon Graham's friend was there too and everyone got out of their cars and climbed into the firetrucks for a look around.  Graham even got to wear a fireman's headset and hear real fireman talk-that was his high for the day!
• Back at home, Graham joined Reagan and Anderson as we finished up school.  The school highlight from today was measuring how big a leatherback sea turtle is-about 9 feet by 6 feet (if you were wondering).  
• Then everyone was sent outside for a few more minutes to enjoy the pretty weather before it turns chilly.  They swang, pulled Keaton in the wagon and played football.  It was nice that Robby was home because he just moved his self outside to work so I could do my zillionth load of laundry for the week.
• We then had lasagna and edemama for supper.  Anderson did not want to eat his 3 edamama that Robby had put on his plate so he refused and was sent to his room. He eventually returned to the table to munch on/gag on his 3 beans.  And when he finished those he did get the biscuit he really wanted.  Seriously, wonder where he gets that!  
• Then it was time for a quick movie for the big 4 while Keaton walked around the house grabbing remote controls, camera chips and scissors.  Robby gave the big kids some Starbursts and Keaton a cup of fruit loops. She wasn't too interested in eating them but had the biggest time carrying the cup, she would spill them, put them back in, and eventually eat a few.
• Finally it was time for bed and some how while my big kids were brushing a teeth a robe ended up in the potty-a robe that was hanging on a hook across the room.  That didn't end the evening to well!  Craziness!
