The Lunch Express!

• Robby was up early to get to work for an early morning meeting; I might not have known except he woke me up around 6:45 asking if I knew where his battery charger was.  His car wouldn't start... I didn't get out of bed so he took my car instead and said he would return.
• Soon all the kids were stirring - surprisingly Reagan was one of the first up - that hardly happens around here.
• Breakfast and then it was time to start school - we were ahead though because everyone did their math yesterday so we were finished before lunch.  We even snuck in an oral report practice as everyone began finishing up their props.
• Robby made it back around lunch to check on his car.  Seems like the battery had run down so he put the charger on it and crossed his fingers.
• The kids decided their lunch would be on a "train" today so they took the kitchen chairs and made them into a Mt. Everest train and ate.  After they ate, the train (minus the chairs) began making loops around the house, up and down the stairs, as each of them took turns being the engine.
• Keaton and Whitman took afternoon naps while the others had TV time and snack.  Well, Campbell trailed me around the house except during her snack where it's mandatory she has to eat her snack in front of the tv. (Doesn't sound right, huh?)
• Keaton woke up about an hour early from nap and managed to get a snack and take Campbell's place in trailing me around the house.
• The kids picked up the toy room and their bedroom (which had been ransacked during their train time) and then played with balloon volleyball before supper.
• After supper, we all watched Let's Make a Deal!
