• Of all Sundays for us to be running behind today-the choir was having their big Christmas service so there were more people there, leaving us to not have our normal seats. Thankfully, Grannymom and Grandpa had some beside them that we grabbed. And really, there was no reason for us to be running late at all especially since Campbell and Keaton were already at church this morning.
• They had spent the night at the church house for a lock in. I had told them to send me some updates, but I didn't think that Keaton really would at 2:30. Usually, my phone is on silent so I don't hear text in the middle of the night, but the whole house could have heard my phone last night since it must have been turned up super loud. I was glad that they were having fun though.
• Anderson had to stay after church today to practice being a shepherd for next week's big church. I forgot to ask if there was going to be animals. I surely hope not-yesterday, while the boys and I were at Walmart, there was a dog walking down the aisle in front of us (I'm pretty sure it wasn't a service dog.) It had to potty (#2) and that dog decided to do so not 2 feet from us. Maybe if there are animals on Sunday that Anderson has to deal with, then they will be better trained than the Walmart dog.
• Since Nonna and Pops were just getting home from the hospital at lunch time, we didn't eat at their house and instead picked up some McDonalds on the way home. That was fine since our afternoon was pretty short.
• Robby left first to run to Little Rock fora mystery shop. I left next with Campbell to take her to her dgroup in Benton. While she was there, I ran to the store and then waited on her. Meanwhile, Robby came home and picked up Keaton to take her to her dgroup in Bryant. 
• I then hurried home-I was home for 15 minutes and had something that needed to go in the oven for 12 minutes so I was cutting it close. The boys had turned on the oven for me though. I left with Whitman and Lilly to take them to their lifegroup back in Bryant, and Robby dropped Keaton off at the same house a minute after I left.
• We came home, and about 30 minutes later Campbell, Anderson, and Graham left for their lifegroup in the same neighborhood. We sat on the couch for a little bit, and before I knew it I was rushing around making cornbread for the Wilson's and our supper. 
• We had chili which is what they had for lunch. Robby made a dessert for us to enjoy as well. Candice brought home Keaton and Whitman who came home with most of the food that they took, and not too long after that the big kids arrived home as well. 
• Now, football is on, and I'm trying to finish the blog so I have a few minutes to read before bed.
