Dennie Kids: August 12, 2010

Highlights from today: (click here for pictures) (click here for video)

• Everyone wanting jelly sandwiches on their way to Nonna’s house.  Mom had already made 2 of the 3 when she noticed the bread was moldy-along with the rest (3/4th) of the package along with the other loaf we had just bought…which means the kids and Dad’s sandwiches yesterday probably had a some mold as well
• Anderson thought he was not going to be able to play at Nonna’s this morning but was surprised when Mom made him get out of the van.  He thought he was going straight to church/school to meet his teacher
• Playing with Nonna and Pops all morning long.  Anderson decided to ride the bike before going with Mom to meet his teacher so he was a sweaty boy.  He was a little shy while meeting Ms. Gwendolyn but warmed quickly when he saw her bugs, play phone and blocks. 
• Blowing bubbles and seeing Papaw before heading home for naps.  Mom and Reagan worked on her “reading book” for a few minutes during naptime.  Pops had gotten Campbell to sleep and Mom was worried that she would be able to sleep again this afternoon but she was (benadryl helps) – just kidding!) and even slept as long as Anderson
• Dad finally waking the two sleepy heads up to start our game night.  The first thing we did was made some strawberry ice cream.  The kids hadn’t seen/didn’t remember an ice cream maker.  Reagan did remember shaking the zip lock bags to make ice cream though
• We had the ice cream maker on during supper so it was a noisy supper but the plates were cleaned.  Then we had game night-everyone picked a game.  Reagan picked her Candyland DVD.  Next up was Graham’s new Penguin game followed by the train puzzle that Anderson wanted to work
• After our games, we managed to eat our ice cream.  The boys finished theirs off-which was quite surprising for Graham since he didn’t use his spoon.  Try eating ice cream with your hands-a pretty difficult feat.  Reagan didn’t like hers (no surprise there) but she did like the strawberries Mom had cut and sugared to put on the top-she snuck them out of the container and also ate them with her hands
• Riding bikes in the garage before a movie and bedtime…oh, Campbell seems to be well tonight without any fever so we are probably just waiting on another tooth!
