Dennie Kids: August 27, 2010

Highlights from today: (click here for pictures)

  • A fairly lazy morning around the house-Reagan became mad at Mom when she wouldn’t let her eat a pb and j for breakfast (since we were going to eat one for lunch).  She didn’t even want to eat the vanilla wafers with peanut butter that Mom had made instead-the boys didn’t mind though
  • Playing outside for a few minutes before Mom cut the boys hair.  This was a first for Mom to do it all by herself!  She even let Anderson do some of his own-but the clippers shouldn’t be held upside down or you might end up with a little chunk or two out of your hair-just saying
  • Baths for everyone before putting on our clothes for the day.  Mom told Anderson if he put on his clothes without complaining he could watch a movie while Mom had her shower.  That worked but Graham was quick to come upstairs and check on Mom
  • Graham’s new phrase is “can you hear me?”  And he asked Mom this the whole time she was in the shower.  Then he picked up a play phone and asked every person he could think of if they could hear him too
  • Dad coming home for lunch and then going to the library after Dad went back to work.  Anderson even got into picking out library books today-usually he doesn’t care but today he picked out book after book to put in the bag
  • Driving downtown to pick up Dad from work and then heading to Mississippi.  We swung by Sonic but made it without stopping at all.  Needless to say when we arrived everyone needed to potty!  Campbell slept most of the trip, Graham had a brief nap at the beginning and then another one at the end and Reagan and Anderson watched their library movies
  • Eating hot dogs and dip with Josh and Zach and then getting to swim in their pool.  They were all so excited.  Graham so enjoyed playing with the water guns and thought he was so big shooting Uncle Les with water
  • After swimming we all had pie and then everyone (the kids) tried on Halloween costumes.  Reagan was quite disappointed that there were no “girlish costumes.”  And Graham enjoyed playing with Zach and Zach (he thinks that Josh is called Zach as well)
  • The kids stayed up until 10:30 and are now trying to go to sleep-all 3 big ones are lined in their sleeping bags-we will see how this works.  Campbell has claimed her spot on the couch and is snoozing away.
