  • Today was a fairly busy day. We started out with all of the normal things-chores and a walk for me and then school for everyone else. 
  • The big boys left first with Robby. They had a dentist appointments for a few fillings. It didn't take too terribly long, but it did take up a good bit of the morning. 
  • Soon Campbell, Keaton, and I left leaving Whitman at home alone to do his school. He had already finished quite a bit with me before I left so hopefully the rest didn't take him all day long-he can knock it out when he wants to, but most of the time he is just not in any hurry at all.
  • Campbell, Keaton, and I met our friend at Old Navy. Her business buys Christmas gifts for probably nearly 100 kids. Today, we bought clothes for about 20 kids (2 outfits and a jacket for each). Then we stopped at Tazikis for lunch. The girls had never eaten there so they got to try something new, but I also tried their whipped feta-delicious!
  • After we ate, we went back to their office to wrap those presents. Then we went to Walmart to buy toys for the same groups of kids that we had just bought clothes for. This was more difficult than the kids-we had a limited budget and some things that these kids asked for, we had never heard of. Then it was back to their office to wrap those presents. It was such a fun day, and of course spending someone else's money is always so fun!
  • We were out all day long, so Campbell missed work-we knew that she would miss today so she had already let them know. The boys all came to church-Graham said that they were running late because Whitman took his shower a bit late.
  • Anderson stayed late at church to practice for Sunday. He is a shepherd so that will be fun. Since he wasn't around to take people to ChickFilA on the way home, I ran by there, and we cashed in on some of our freebies. 
  • I had to go through all of our boxes when we did finally make it home tonight, and now that I am finally done with all of the things, it is bedtime!
