• So, after being out late last night, it was a little bit difficult to wake up. However, we were still all working together a few minutes after our normal time. I didn't get my laundry folded, but other than that it was a fairly normal morning.
• Well, Reagan and Anderson usually don't work with us on Thursday mornings because they go to Comm Central. However, today was the last day there, and Reagan had only one class in the afternoon. That meant that Anderson could go later so after our work together time, Robby took him there. 
• Everyone here finished their school work. I am looking forward to our month long break (don't worry, we are still going to do plenty of school. It is, however, going to be a bit different and a little bit less. My kids have worked hard this year so a break is in order, and hopefully this break won't put us behind during the rest of the year.)
• I couldn't stick around too long today because I had to go to the dentist. This was the best dentist appointment I have had in years. I left feeling good and not defeated. By the end of the day, I had already changed Robby over to my new dentist. 
• Next up was a big afternoon for Campbell and Keaton. They went to one of Nonna's friend's house to do some baking. The lady makes cookies and sweets for people all year long, but today she spent her time showing my girls how to make things-they came home with bags and boxes of Christmas candy and fudge. The girls had lots of fun and are planning making fudge quite often over the next few weeks.
• Graham and Keaton had their first basketball practices. Graham will be one of the strongest players on his team which didn't really make him too happy. He doesn't think that they will win many games. Hopefully, he will just have fun. I didn't see, but Keaton's coach said that she is one of the shortest folks on her team. I know that she will make up for that with some spunk though.
• The Wilsons came over for supper tonight. We worked really hard and heated up a chicken spaghetti from the freezer. We usually don't like our freezer meals, but that one seems to be a good one and always comes in handy. We even watched a cooking show or two before they left.
• This evening the kids headed to bed and I snuck in a little bit of work in the school room straightening things.
