•  Let's see, I wrote my blog fairly early last night. After I finished it, I played a round of Clue with Whitman, Anderson, and Keaton. We finished that round and then started another round. 
• The Wilsons came over to visit for a while, so I paused the game and chatted with the grown ups for a while. Once they had found out all about our day, and we covered all the other important topics, they headed home. 
• I returned to the second round of Clue, and we finished it. Then Graham decided that he wanted to play so it was well after 11 when our final game of Clue was finished. Anderson was the winner of that game-just by luck.
• Then I ended up visiting with everyone upstairs as I was telling them good night. They can all get fairly chatty at night so there was lots of talking It was pretty late when I finally did get to sleep. And I didn't seem like that much later when the thunder woke me up-I had no idea what it was I really thought that Campbell and Keaton were making good on their threat to rearrange the beds upstairs even though Reagan had not even been gone for 24 hours.
• Thankfully, it wasn't them but was just thunder. It woke Bentley up too because she was quick to jump in our bed as well. I woke up pretty early this morning but I sure wasn't jumping out of bed on a Saturday. I was up so early though that even though I had a few people to text, I had to play on my phone until it was late enough in the morning to start writing people.
• Since Keaton and Campbell were so bored yesterday, I woke them up when Robby and I left on our morning round of errands. Surprisingly, they didn't want to go with us. We had an amazon return, plus lunch out and a coupon for me to spend. We also ran to Grannymom and Grandpa's house for a second. 
• When we came back, we were home for a little bit when Anderson and Whitman came down with games in their hands. We played 20 questions-all the kids and I played it. That is two days in a row of games around here. I'm not sure if it is because Reagan being gone has already caused a different dynamic to happen or if it is just because they have been a bit bored for the last 2 days. 
• Soon after the game, we left for the next round of mystery shops. We ate out with Campbell and Keaton. Then Robby dropped us off at Walmart while he did a few shops. Now, this would have been much more fun but none of us could really find what we wanted at Walmart. Campbell was looking for jeans but she didn't find any-nor could I find what I was looking for. Oh, well, maybe we will have better luck another day.
• We were there for so long while Robby ran his errands, that we pretty much walked through all of the aisles in the store. I thought we would end up buying more than we did after all of that time, bue we only left with some pens, shampoos, and one more thing that I bought ahead for September.
• Anderson got my Text Road house leftovers, and Graham had our other leftovers which he wasn't too thrilled about, but he ate them anyway.
• Now people are finishing supper, and Whitman is about to get in the shower. I have plans of reading some, but right now I can barely keep my eyes open even though it is just 8.
