• Let's see-I woke up this morning which kid had an alarm going off only to discover that it was mine. Robby was already out of bed so my alarm had been ringing for at least 10 minutes. I am going to be in so much trouble when we do start school back-no more staying up until 1 each night for me.
• I did get up and start on my things around the house. Whitman was awake this morning when Robby and I left for our walk. When we came back, it wasn't too long until leaving to pick up Keaton.
• She had spent the night at a friend's house and had a big time. Then we went to Walmart to look for us shoes for an upcoming wedding. She and I were the only ones who needed sandals-when we walked into Walmart, they had quite a few sandals on clearance up in the front. That worried me for our sandal prospects.
• However, we both found shoes-actually the same pair. Hers are the smallest women's size while mine are a few sizes larger. I offered to pick out a different pair, but she said that she didn't care so I did promise not to stand next to her. I am glad that she let me buy the same pair since there weren't many (really any) other choices. 
• Once at home, we were just there for about 30 minutes before leaving again for the pool. Campbell, Keaton and Whitman went with me. We pooled for about 3 hours and it was hot. I got in the water a bit just to cool off-now, I didn't stay in the water because I thought that water was cool. Just being in the water some, made sitting outside bearable though.
• When we did leave, it took forever for the poor car to cool off. It was so hot that the air conditioner just couldn't keep up. We did bring Anna home with us so her and Campbell played all evening long.
• Reagan, Anderson and Graham had a church event at Urban Air today. They were there for about 2 hours and jumped hard. Both boys weren't sweaty by the time that they made it home, but they said that they were definitly sweaty when they were there. They all had a lot of fun.
• Brett came over this evening to hang with the big boys. They were glad to have some entertainment.
• For supper, Robby and I ran to get pizzas for everyone. The kids all ate, and then the girls set up the volley ball net. The convinced the boys to play with them, and Reagan even joined when she saw all of the kids outside.
• They played for about 30 minutes and had a big time. When the game was over, Campbell and I took Anna home. While we were gone, Brett, Anderson and Graham went to go and get Sonic drinks. They weren't gone long at all, and now everyone is under one roof which makes my heart happy.
