• I was again up early before the othesr for my walk on the treadmill/time to watch my Hallmark movie. When I had finished, most everyone was stirring except for Reagan. We soon were all in my bedroom reading our morning school work.
• Our work together time was briefly interrupted with me havng to stop and make the 3 boys get off of my bed. I actually told them they they couldn't sit on my bed during school for the rest of the week. 
• We then finished up that part of our morning and moved on to their individual school work. The boys had to finish quickly because they had a class to go to this afternoon. 
• This was the first of 5 classes that they will have. Today they learned about drywall and painting. They painted, glued, drilled and did a ton of other things. And they were super cute in their construction hats and vests.
• The girls all have snack for Bible study tomorrow so when the boys left, we went to town-first Keaton made cookie brownies, Campbell got everything ready for her cheese dip tomorrow and Reagan made rice krispy treats with Robby's help.
• Soon all of our goodies were finished and the girls, Whitman and I jumped in the car and headed to the library. There we checked out a ton of books and also checked in a ton of books. The kids also made cute little fall leaves. I was so busy helping Whitman with his that I forgot all about taking any pictures. 
• We then met up with our boys at Third Realm. The kids all had fun there. Our passes this time are for not just an hour but for as long as you want to stay. So we were there for at least an hour and a half. 
• Robby picked up most eveyone except for Reagan who headed to soccer with me. We were there a wee bit early, but that was fine. While she practiced I walked and walked and walked around the fields. The fields are huge but it still took me 12 laps to make 2 miles. The treadmill is a lot easier and quicker.
• Meanwhile back at home, Keaton was working hard on her meal. She, with lots of help from Robby, made chicken sandwiches, french fries, edamame and another cookie brownie for our dessert tonight. It was delicious!
• We watched a Bates before we headed to bed tonight. It has been a while since we all hung out in the living room watching a show. It was nice way to end our crazy busy day.
