• I've been a bit disappointed today-it has looked like snow all day long. The weather has been overcast and rainy throughout the day. If it was just a few degrees cooler, we would be the ones having tons of snow, but not today at least.
• Now, I do love the rain-it kind of gives me a spring in my step-except when my kiddos are out driving in it. 
• We did our school work this morning-even though I didn't get out of bed until it was almost time to start school. Still, I even managed to get in another work together time with Cambpell, Keaton and Whitman since we are trying to finish one book before my trip, another book by the end of February, and one more before the end of April (that one isn't going to happen!)
• Anderson is still praticing his ACT. He has a ways to go, but he did better today on the subtest that he took than last time. It's still even a little bit early for him to take it, but it will be good practice for him for sure. 
• After finishing with everyone, I did walk on the treadmill for a little bit. Not enough to really matter in the health/weight category, but enough for me to finish my hallmark movie so that is something at least.
• As soon as I was finished with that Cambpell and I boiled some potatoes before we all heade to Defy. Graham and Anderson didn't have school today because the church had something this week, but Reagan's math class still met. She hadn't been home too long when we left.
• Then by the time that we came home, she was leaving to go to a focus group and earn 50 dollars. While she was gone, we finished making the potato soup for supper. We doubled it, and it made a ton. Thankfully, it was super delicious.
• Reagan came home just as I was leaving out with the boys for their basketball practice. Of course Campbell and Keaton came with me since I was running some errands. We fought the rain which slowed us some, but we pulled into the practice just as the boys were finishing. 
• I am now back on the couch finishing the blog and going to start looking for crafts for vacation Bible school.
