Dennie Kids: October 16, 2009

Highlights from today: (click here for pictures)

•  Everyone being wound up all morning long today but playing in the den for 30+ minutes without calling for Mom one time-she shouldn't have been cleaning: she should have been sleeping!
• The highlights of the morning were cleaning the picnic table with lots of cleaner and then scrubbing our pumpkins for tonight
• Reagan being very disappointed because her birthday party this afternoon for Avery was canceled since she has the flu.  Reagan cried but eventually decided that she wanted Avery to get better but she did suggest that we just go to the party without Avery
• Chasing a lady bug all morning long-it flew under the fridge and then reappeared later to land on Anderson's face, hand and then shirt.  It was fun until "Anderson made it dead"
  
• Graham taking a short morning nap and Mom realizing that his morning naps are numbered-and that makes Mom very, very sad!
• Lunch with Dad and then playing with Lilly all afternoon
• Reagan and Lilly playing like sisters (they got along most of the time but didn't some of the time) and Anderson took on the roll of the little brother (did his best to bug them!) while Graham just hung out with Mom
• Nonna bringing over pumpkin cookies for everyone to enjoy-and they did since they almost ate everyone
• Naps for everyone before our big night
• Kennedy, Camryn, Jacob and Ethan all coming over for our Halloween party-we all wore our costumes and took pictures
• Chili for supper and brownies for dessert
• Everyone painting their pumpkins-Anderson painted longer than anyone else and Graham decided that he liked the taste of paint this time!
• Playing all evening long and getting to stay up very late tonight-we were very good and pretty much entertained ourselves the whole time!
