• Robby made cinnamon rolls this morning and that helped the kids hurry with their clothes. More accurately, I should say that helped the girls hurry with their clothes. The boys are pretty good about getting themselves dressed on Sundays before they come downstairs. The girls, not so much. 
• The kids now clean up 2 cans of cinnamon rolls-we did manage to save us one to split. I left Robby half and then I cleaned up Keaton and Whitman's leftover bites. Once we were all ready we headed to the church house.
• Robby helped with the sound for the kids so he headed up there to learn a few things. The rest of us went to see Grannymom and Grandpa. We were still talking but Whitman decided that he was done so he just walked on out the doors. It was still a bit early but their teachers were there and I was able to get to my class early (never happens.)
• Lunch was at Nonna's house today and she had Mexican. My favorite was her corn dip-I could have eaten the entire bowl of it by myself. After lunch, we walked back over to Beebee's house to pick up my water bottle that I left there the other day. I have been thirsty since I left it even though I have been still drinking water from another container.
• We weren't at Nonna's for too long because soon it was time for me to take Anderson to Owen's birthday party. They played Splatball and had a blast. Imagine 10 ten year old boys running around an empty warehouse shooting at each other-it was the stuff that 10 year old boys dream about. They had a few courses outside that the boys played as well but it was chilly outside and a bit warmer in the room that we were in so we didn't follow them around outside.
• Graham stayed at Nonna's house this afternoon and had a big time. The others came home with Robby and spent the afternoon resting and watching movies. Graham arrived home just minutes after Anderson and I did. Then about 10 minutes later, Shannon came over with a few goodies to share. 
• After watching the Cowboys, we heated up supper and then the kids ate cupcakes. Anderson had to have a shower from his splatball and of course when we don't need for people to take a shower, they all want to.
• Whitman's shower didn't last long since he was throwing water so we took him out. Then as I was getting dressed he was mouthing back at me (I don't even know what he was saying) but I told him to say "yes ma'am" and he just stared at me. I spanked him and he said "that didn't even hurt me." So I jerked his towel off of him and spanked him again. After all of this, it was time for him to go to bed.
• The others watched a show about catching catfish with their bare hands. It was a kind of crazy show but afterwards it was definitely bedtime.
