• Sunday morning with two less kiddos here and you would think that we wouldn't have to scurry around but with emptying and reloading a crazy full dishwasher, still having to do 3 girls hair and possibly enjoying our breakfast a little bit too much we were pushing it to get Reagan there on time for her song practice.
• Church today and Robby was with the 4th graders while I was in the nursery with a fussy baby.  I had to walk the halls with that poor baby the entire service long and I realized how my arms have gotten used to not having to hold a baby 24/7.  Not sure how I feel about that.
• Lunch was at Grannymom's house and she had Hello Dollys for dessert.  Robby didn't eat any-coconut.  I should have made him like I have been making Anderson eat oranges!  I did eat his share though and am now questioning why I didn't ask for a doggy bag to bring home some for my after blog treat.
• Back at home, we put Whitman in bed and he climbed out once, twice and possibly three times.  On his third climb out we just let him play in the locked school room-this happened for a while and then I went to try to put him in bed for one last time before I headed to church early for a meeting.  I unlocked the door and he immediately asked me his two questions that he asks when we find him out of bed "what you doing?" and "are you happy?" (normal answers are "coming to put you back in bed" and "no, I am not happy.")  I picked him up and held him for a minute and then when I laid him down he was sound asleep-he hasn't fallen asleep in my arms in forever. 
• I ran to church and finished my meeting just in time to find everyone else and drop of the littles.  Campbell did much better tonight during church-maybe because we have been talking about Nehemiah at home and she is familiar with the story or maybe she was just tired.
• Back at home, we had our ice cream truck and then it was to bed for the crew.  Graham was pretty wound up about who was going to be in the Super Bowl and wanted to talk to Anderson about this and Anderson did not want to talk about this at all.  Boys!
