• For a Monday this was a pretty good one. I had a super long list of things to do and most of those things I was able to mark off the list, but there is quite a few of them that will have to be done at a later date...or not at all!
• We did our school this morning with Campbell hurrying through hers since she had a birthday party to go to at lunch time. This is the last day of Fall Break for the Bryant people so they were making use of their time. Campbell had the best time with her sweet little friends-they even went to Menchies and Target.
• The rest of us finished our school-it was 12:30 when I was finally able to check some of Anderson's work. Then I had to work with Whitman later, but first I usually try to take a walk. By around lunch time, it is good for me to take a short little walk. A bit of quiet time is good for the rest of my day. 
• When I went to pick up Campbell, Keaton convinced me to pick up her friend and take them all to Target. There they bought each other Boo Baskets-apparently, you are supposed to fill a basket for your child at Halloween. Since Keaton's mother is not going to do that sillyness, then she decided to do it with a friend. They had fun shopping for each other though and stuck to their limit. And in case you were wondering, baskets full of Christmas items are supposed to be given to children on the first day of December-again, not happening here.
• When we came home, I left again with Robby to run to Walmart and Sams. Then we came back home and tried to clean out the fridges. We had a few takers on our food, but for the most part, we still have what we started with in the fridge.
• Anderson left tonight for a haunted house with his friends. He wasn't gone a super long time, but he said that it was fun. He said that even though he doesn't like horror movies, he did just laugh the entire time. 
• Graham had work this afternoon, and when he came home he ran. He had actually just finished running when we started heating up supper. Since then, I have been in my chair, reading some, and then getting up to work on something from my list. I have done this a few different times, but now my lap is full of my computer, some ice cream, and Bentley's head trying to lick some of my ice cream.
