- This was indeed a rainy day-I still wish that we were camping, but definitely not in this weather. Robby took Campbell and Keaton to Mother's Day Out today to work. Then he ran some errands and did his work from Grannymom's house.
- The rest of us went to town on our school work-well, it is just the boys and me home all day on Thursdays so the house is a little quieter. Whitman and I read together, then he started on his school work. They all have a bit of work to do tomorrow, but that sure won't hurt anyone.
- For Graham's speech class today, he had to do a video of himself giving a speech explaining how to do something. He made coffee cake-and well, it is more like upside down coffee cake. He had a hard time stirring and pouring while talking so he just put the cake in the oven during his speech. When his speech was over, he grabbed the cake back out, and we tried to fix it.
- It is good-especially good warm-but it isn't like any coffee cake you have had before! Ha! Here's the most important thing though-he got it done in just one take so that was great.
- When the cake cooled, we went to Nonna's house to drop off some cake with them. While we were there, she made quesadillas for Graham and Whitman. We stayed a visited for a bit, but then we had to leave to pick up the girls.
- I ran by the library on the way to church, and then we had to wait a few minutes for the girls. We headed home, and I worked with Whitman-we are still in birthday mode so I skipped spelling. A bit later, Robby came home, and we started on supper for the kids.
- We made them breakfast-sausage, pancakes, and egg in the holes. Then Robby and I went to the Wilson's house for supper. We stayed and visited for a bit before we headed home.
- It was early enough for Robby and I to play the last few rounds of one of Whitman's new escape room games. It was really neat, and we all kind of enjoyed it. Now, we are going to watch one more show before bedtime.

April 2, 2025-Happy 12th Birthday Whitman!
- I do think that the birthday boy had a good day today. I quickly made muffins this morning before school started. Then as we were reading, Robby walked by and asked him if he wanted a coke for breakfast. We could have stopped there, and he would still have had a wonderful day.
- We did school-I even let Whitman skip one thing. Everyone else had all of their work. Usually after I work with Whitman, then Campbell comes in to work with me. However today, she had quite a bit more work so I worked with her last-changing things up a bit.
- It was probably mid morning when we all started getting emails and text saying that church tonight was cancelled. I completely understand why they needed to cancel it, but the kids were all disappointed. I actually received 3 text, 3 emails, and one group me notification-they really didn't want us to come.
- Campbell and Graham went to work this afternoon. As soon as they left, Keaton, Whitman, and I loaded up and ran to pick up a scoop of ice cream for Whitman at Small Cakes. Then we got his free ChickFilA brownie plus since we were there, he needed some nuggets. After we drove off, I told Keaton that I meant to order something for her and me to split.
- We came home, and Keaton played a game with Whitman, and then Anderson did. Keaton spent most of the afternoon working on a cake for Whitman. As soon as Campbell and Graham came home from work, we started eating our suppers. This was a fend for yourself night-Graham and Whitman had pizza, Keaton had manicotti, Campbell had a grilled cheese, and I had nachos. I'm not sure what Anderson or Robby ate though.
- Campbell turned on the weather, and thankfully it looks like the real storms are going to miss us. We still have birthday cake to eat tonight plus we need to finish yesterday's game.
April 1, 2025
- Last night I was checking Anderson's prebill at Ouachita, and it didn't take me long at all to notice that something was different-what we owed was lower than last time I had looked. He has been given two additional little scholarships from Ouachita, so that was kind of like winning the lottery for Robby and me-a little lottery, but we will still happily take it.
- We were a bit mopey today because Robby had planned to go to Maumelle to start our first weekend of camping this year. However, the rain just looks non stop so he backed out, but that still makes me sad.
- Speaking of rain, I was grumbling about making the concession stand schedule, when Robby asked why I was even making it for this week. He said that if for some reason they did play, then we would just figure it out which was so true-there was no reason for me to stress about something that isn't going to happen. (Though Anderson is convinced that we will play Saturday-I think that he is trying to use reverse psychology on the weather so it will be a rain out.)
- We did the school thing this morning even though Whitman was already trying to convince me to let him do less since tomorrow is his birthday. I did't let him skip any today and won't let him tomorrow either. Actually, I just had to text him to make sure that he finished his last thing, which means I now have to get up and check it.
- We did start his birthday celebration today-I guess we really began Sunday with presents from Nonna, but today Grannymom came over with gifts for him. He opened those, and as soon as she left we played his new game from her. Tonight Robby bought him pizza for supper, and when Keaton gets home from Raymar, we will play his new game from Nonna.
- Anderson worked this afternoon/evening so Campbell and Keaton went with him. Those girls have spent a good deal of the day outside. They laid out quite a bit of the afternoon, and Campbell is as red as a beet.
