Dennie Kids: February 4, 2010

Highlights from today: (click here for pictures)

• School this morning-Mom and Dad did better getting around (mostly because us kids woke up early)
• Campbell starting to notice when she is by herself (or at least when the room is quiet).  She likes the action and might have missed the others while they were at school
• Mom picking Graham up first (he is usually last) and he walked down to Reagan's room where he saw the popcorn table (a big table full of popcorn kernels to play in).  He tried to play but Reagan and Mom wouldn't let him.  So when Mom was picking up Anderson and gathering his papers/coat/backpack, Graham took off down the hall back to the popcorn table-along with Reagan and Anderson who were desperately trying to stop him
• Anderson being upset that the bulldozers making the new Target weren't working today but was happy when Mom said they could play outside with their umbrellas
• A big snack and a few movies along with doing a page or two from Reagan and Anderson's workbooks
• Anderson telling Mom that if we see a bear, Daddy will get it with his ax (Mom thinks we better buy an ax)
• Reagan spent some of the afternoon skipping around the kitchen shouting "we're going to Disney World, we're going to Disney World" and then Anderson told Mom "it is going to be hours and hours and hours and hours and.... " (this went on until he was out of breath)
• Campbell eating many, many times this afternoon and she was held by everyone-but no one wants to hold her for long anymore.  Mom has to be ready to catch her any second
• Graham helping Mom do a little cooking in the kitchen-Mom let him pour and stir and then she caught him trying to open the oven wearing oven mitts (just like Mom just did)
• Dad coming home and taking everyone to Chick-fil-a.  The kids were thrilled and couldn't wait to get in the car once he came home (Mom was going to class meeting)
• Spending almost 2 hours there and then coming home for a quick ice cream snack before bed
