• For some reason I woke right up at 7 this morning. I am not sure why, but possibly because Graham said that he wanted to run on the treadmill this morning. I probably shouldn't be, but when the kids do get on the treadmill it does make me a bit nervous. 
• I shouldn't have worried because when I went to wake everyone up at 8:10, Graham along with everyone else were sleeping soundly in their beds. Graham did jump up and get a mile in this morning before having to take another shower to get ready for church.
• We soon were all headed to church-the kids don't delay when we say that it is time to go because no one wants to have to walk in and hunt for a seat after it has started like we have had to do before. We made it in time today, but the church pews are starting to fill back up which makes my heart happy.
• After church, we headed to Grannymom's house for our Sunday lunch. The last time we were there, we celebrated my birthday, and I picked the meal. I picked poppyseed chicken since I knew that Reagan doesn't like Mexican. My second choice would have been taco salad and that is what we had today-it was like we were still celebrating my birthday.
• When we left Grannymom's house, we headed to Kroger to pick up a few things that were on sale. Tonight, Shannon and I were talking about budgets and menus-I now have a goal to stick to a grocery budget and have a few meals planned each week.
• Back at home, I certainly had my Sunday afternoon nap. When it was over, I did dye some of Campbell's hair red-the first time we dyed her hair, it really worked well but it hasn't worked that well since. I do think that we did pretty good tonight and my hands aren't too red.
• We had our supper tonight at the Wilson's house-breakfast quesadillas. They were pretty delicious and I brought cinnamon rolls (from the can) for our dessert. We stayed out late and rolled in just in time for bedtime for the crew (and menu and grocery list making time for me along with some you tube watching.)
