Dennie Kids: January 29, 2010

Highlights from today: (click here for pictures)

• A winter weathery morning-not much going on.  Everyone laying in Mom's bed and then most of the crew moving to Anderson's bed while the rest played in his room
• Breakfast-toaster strudels, cereal, a banana and breakfast burrito-seems like just about everyone had something different
• Baths for everyone-Dad decided that the tub has become too small for three so two tubs were used today-until Graham used the restroom in the bath that him and Reagan were in.  Mom has never seen Reagan get out of the bath so quick.  So three Dennies still ended up in one tub while Campbell bathed in the sink
• Taking Graham's 18 month pictures-can't believe he is 18 months old.  He is so smart and will do almost anything we ask.  If he can only stop that screaming!
• Helping Mom make cupcakes before lunch-we did all settle on sandwiches for lunch
• Lots of playing this afternoon while Dad escaped the house for a little bit-he had to go and buy the necessities (lots of diet coke, chips, salsa and a toy that Mom saw on sale yesterday-it will be for next Christmas)
• Naps for everyone-even Mom and Dad took one!  Mom and Campbell had to start waking everyone up at 5
• Graham, Reagan, Anderson and Dad playing outside in the sleet for a bit-Dad and Graham called it quits early since they were cold.  Campbell was eating so her and Mom watched from the window
• Dad's spaghetti for supper and then starting our "Snow Family Night"-earlier in the day we had hung our snowflakes around the house go get us in the mood
• Playing a few snow games-pin the nose on the snowman and a snowball race.  Then we decorated snowman cupcakes
• The most memorable family night that we have had was movie night so once Mom said tonight was family night-they started talking about the movie we would watch.  Since a snuggling up watching a movie seems like a "snowy" thing to do, Dad set up the projector and we all watched a movie to end the evening (we even had more "snow" activities to do but may just finish them tomorrow)
• Anderson's cough is almost gone but now Graham is feeling a little under the weather tonight-a little bit of fever with an upset stomach but he is sleeping fine now
