• I think that most of my kids stayed up entirely too late last night-it was Friday night so they were able to do that. However, this was also their last night to do that for a while, so it is probably a good thing that they did stay up late and take advantage of it. This Spring Break week we have been letting them stay up late so they are getting better and better at it!
• Even though they stayed up late, Campbell and Anna were up early this morning and so was Anderson. I am not sure why those silly girls were up early-they weren't hungry because they didn't make pancakes until probably 10 or so.
• Anderson was up because his grade of friends were meeting at the trampoline place. He was happy to go there and jump for 2 hours. Robby took him and ran to Sam's as well.
• While they were gone, I did my dishes and laundry. Nonna and Pops came over-they had some laundry for me (Nonna had gotten some spots out of some shirts) plus they hadn't seen everyone in a few days. 
• Once they left, I did sit down and finish my book. I also was reminded of why I don't read too often-I seem to be a bit ocd about it. I did finish that book in less than 24 hours so I probably don't need to get another one very soon since there is a life to live.
• Robby came home with the groceries and then left to pick up Anderson again. When they returned I left with Keaton, Campbell and Anna to go to the little church down the road so they could ride their skate boards.
• I think they had fun. Keaton did fall one time, but she got back on that thing and rode some more. I should have taken the dog, but I completely forgot about that. Instead I looked at another book that I had (it isn't fiction so it isn't that interesting to me-meaning I won't finish it in a day or week...and really, I am just skimming the pages!)
• At the half time of the first ball game this afternoon/evening. we had the kids come and help. They did some chores and then helped with the making of 4 sheet pans of pig in a blanket. We may not always support the winning team, but we have food at our parties!
• The shindig tonight was the Ferguson's house. I believe that there were 6 families represented there tonight-so once again it was quite a party. And even though it wasn't a supper-there was still plenty of food: chips, pretzels, popcorn, cake, ice cream, chex mix, drinks, pizza rolls, pigs in a blanket.
• We watched the game outside-well, I didn't watch it; I just chatted most of the game. I usually feel like I am not a good luck charm so it is best that I stay away. Even though the game didn't end up like we wanted, we all still had a good time. 
• Once we came home, the kids went through showers, and then it was finally bedtime for all.
