Schoolwork Accomplished:

*We got up early and went to Walmart (bus trip for me, Lorelei, and Jacob.  Leanna, Justin, and Timothy drove in my Mom's car) to get eye exams for me, Leanna, and Justin.  Then me & the youngest two went for Lorelei's one month checkup.  Long day.  Meanwhile Grammy shopped with the kids briefly and then stopped at Wegmans before meeting us at home.  Jacob was given a toy by the doctor for being so quiet during Lorelei's checkup!  He was good on the busrides as well. 
By the time I got home it was after four in the afternoon and I was very tired.  No real school happened today.
