• This morning my alarm went off super early, but that was kind of nice because after my shower, I climbed back in bed for a few minutes before having to start waking everyone up. I was a bit stressed when I noticed that I didn't run the dishwasher last night, but I was happy when I opened it to find that we didn't have many dishes yesterday-I'm not really sure what or how we ate though.
• We made it to church in plenty of time. Last week all of the youth were gone on their mission trips, but this week they were all back. They sat right in front of us, and they were all there today. Obviously, this is a good thing, but it so stressed me out when someone comes up looking for a seat, and then there is no room for them so they have to make the walk of shame back out to find another seat. With the pews, you could always squeeze someone else in, but not with these new chairs. Robby and I even moved over a seat today trying to give someone some room so they could avoid the no seat walk of shame,
• After big church, we headed to Sunday school. They had cookies for a big snack today which made all of the kids happy. Church had gone long, so Sunday school time was kind of short. Then we were finished, but our big kids were upstairs chatting with their friends for a while.
• Lunch today was at Nonna and Pops' house. They had pork tenderloin, and we also celebrated Graham's birthday. I think that he was pleased with his birthday present's-cash! We stayed there chatting for a little bit, and then came home.
• Robby turned on the news to watch about Biden not running again for president-lots of history making moments happening lately. We both also snoozed some. Keaton and Campbell were going to leave at 3:10, but about 3:05 a friend called me. I chatted for a while, and then realized it was past time to leave with the girls.
• I went upstairs, and they were both sleeping soundly. I tried to wake Campbell up, and she promptly told me that we didn't have to leave until 3:10, and I told her that it was 3:18, and she still didn't seem to care. Once they did get up, we were soon in the car, and they were only a few minutes late to their Bible study.
• A bit later, Anderson and Graham walked to the car. I asked about Reagan, and they said that she said she wasn't going. I was confused because at Nonna's house she had mentioned her friend's were coming. I text her, and she was going, but I guess she was asleep too when the boys asked her. We need to do a better job about alarm setting and communicating on these Sundays.
• The Wilsons came over this evening. We made a fancy supper of grilled cheese, but we did top it off with ice cream since this is National Ice Cream Day-though Tony agreed with me that I think National Ice Cream day rolls around fairly often!
