• Mondays are usually a little bit long and today was no exception. Everyone did wake up and get moving this morning except for Anderson. He was in no hurry to get downstairs and start on his school work. He doesn't have a ton to do these days so it was kind of fine.
• By the time that I actually did start working with Anderson, he had already spent a good deal of the morning working on his helmet-he has to 3D print it, then clean it up, solder it together, sand it, prime it, sand it, tape it, paint it and there are probably some steps that I have left off.
• For some reason I was able to do spelling with Whitman early today, but we still had some things to do this afternoon. Since we had finished spelling though, it did make things easier this afternoon. 
• And speaking of spelling, For Keaton's spelling this year, she has to write 3 sentences that I dictate to her each day. We stay on the same sentence until she spells everything correctly. There are hundreds of sentences, but gracious we are stuck on the same 3 sentences. I am going to make her write the words over and over tomorrow.
• I took Keaton, Anderson, and Whitman to Defy today. They all wanted to go. While they were there, I left to pick up an order that Keaton had made at Bath and Body. When I came back, I was excited about reading some, but soon they were ready to go.
• Campbell has a party tomorrow so she worked on her dessert for the party while I was in the kitchen making a chicken pot pie. It was pretty good, but could have been better if it had a bit more liquid in it Overall, I was impressed with it-now, I didn't make the kids eat it so Campbell and Robby were my only takers.
• I think that Graham might have tried some but after working all day at the studio and at Raymar for pictures, he stopped by ChickFilA on the way home to claim his free nuggets. He had ordered new shoes so he went running in those after his supper.
• Now, people are pretty quiet this evening with football on the tv. I'm going to settle into my chair and read a little bit before bedtime.
