Highlights from today: (click here for pictures)
- This was crazy busy day-Dad left for work as Mom was getting herself ready. Before long, everyone had their clothes on and were eating breakfast downstairs
- We checked out at least 40 pounds of library books. The highlight for the kids is returning them into the slots and opening the automatic opening door. Graham has even gotten into picking out books-today he ended up with Goodnight Moon (we have that one). Anderson finds a few books and really gets into it if he finds ones with trucks-today he found one in Spanish. Mom told him she couldn’t read Spanish and he said that he could speak it and then he showed Mom how he could speak it (he can’t!) Reagan loves picking out books and knows how to look at the cover before pulling it all the way off of the shelf
- Next stop was Nonna’s house while Mom ran to work for a meeting. Nonna was getting new tile so everyone enjoyed watching the workers. Then Nonna’s friend came over to play-she brought a duck game and the kids loved it. Campbell decided to take her nap during the game!
- When Mom made it back it was time to meet Grannymom, Lilly and Cash at the zoo. The weather was perfect in the shade and the kids had a great time. Campbell was very interested in the fish and then it was time for another nap. Graham was very intrigued by the elephants. Anderson’s favorite was the alligators and Reagan just enjoyed hanging with Lilly and Cash
- At the zoo, we were looking at the Vampire Bats and another little girl said the stuff they saw was blood because they drink blood. Anderson disagreed and said that it wasn’t blood but was “popsicle juice”
- Next stop was back home for a few minutes. We were home long enough for Graham to drink some milk, Campbell to change clothes and everyone to watch a few minutes of their library movies while Mom repacked and reloaded the car.
- Then Dad came home with his trunk full of boxes-over 1000 diapers and over 100 rolls of toilet paper-something for everyone in the house! Anderson was a little disappointed when Mom explained that one box was for him and then he saw it was only toilet paper
- As soon as we arrived at Kaleigh’s birthday party they were starting a relay game. The kids had to take a cup of water to fill a teapot. Graham was just as into it as Reagan and Anderson-he stuck with it longer than some of the big kids and he was so proud of himself
- At cake time, Anderson and Graham managed to be right beside Kaleigh. Mom tried her best to make sure that they didn’t blow out her candles (and they didn’t). Next was presents and then home
- Everyone had a few bites of chips before bed while Mom and Dad took Campbell’s temperature. She has a touch of fever but still feels pretty good. Graham spent a very long time telling Dad all about the zoo (most of it was unintelligible!) At prayer time tonight, Reagan thanked God for the “people on top of the houses” (roofers?) and “all the dead people there everywhere” (cemeteries?)
