Dennie Kids: February 11, 2010

Highlights from today: (click here for pictures)

• Anderson and Reagan were dressed in red this morning and ready for their Valentine's parties-Graham doesn't have any red to wear!
• Campbell hanging with Mom at Walmart and the dentist
• Campbell and Mom shopping with Beebee for Campbell an outfit for baby dedication
• Mom, Campbell and Beebee picking everyone else up and hearing about their parties:
• Anderson's party was after playing in the big room and before naptime.  He had "cookies and something else."  Tosh was late and missed the party.  Anderson's Valentines were hearts with a glo stick attached that said "you light up my life"
• Reagan's party was after nap.  They had cupcakes, cookies, icing and sprinkles and decorated their Valentine's bags themselves.  Her Valentines were lollipops that we had added hearts and stems to to make into flowers.  She wrote who they were too and from herself.
• Graham's class didn't have a party (party poopers) and Graham only came home with one Valentine-the one that Mom sent!  Ha!  He gave his friends Teddy Grahams in a bag with a note attached that said "Bear Hugs from Graham"
• When Reagan was getting in the car, Mom noticed her eyes (red), ears (bright red) and tummy/back (red with hives everywhere).  She had been itchy last night, Benadryl helped, but she wasn't anything like this.  Mom drove everyone home to run in a get some more Benadryl for her-she even asked when she could take it.  She must have felt really itchy-poor thing!  The Benadryl helped and they were all gone and not even red at bedtime but Dad gave her another dose
• Everyone playing with all of Beebee's costume jewelry and seeing Papaw before stomping through the ice walking to Nonnas
• Playing at Nonnas and not getting home until almost 5-some of that time was spent with Reagan, Anderson and Graham walking around outside on the ice.  They are just intrigued by this snow and ice
• Dad bringing home supper and then lots happening until bedtime: Graham enjoying playing with a box Mom got in the mail that contained lots of Disney magic (and surprises), Reagan and Mom playing a game of Sequence, Anderson playing puppy dog and with his Mickey house from last year and Campbell eating, eating some more and sleeping
