Dennie Kids: October 19, 2010

Highlights from today: (click here for pictures)

• It was rainy and dark outside - which meant everyone slept til 7:15 so there was so major scrambling going on to get out on the road by 8:00; everyone except Campbell ate in the car. She did manage to eat some yogurt!
• Campbell went happily to class while Graham continued his routine of being fine right until Dad leaves - it's all out scream for about 2 minutes then he settles in.  (Still makes Dad crazy!)  Anderson wasn't too excited about going to his class until his teacher mentioned helping feed the fish. And Reagan had no problems.  Both Reagan and Anderson were decked out for school pictures today.
• Anderson managed to slice his finger today in class - he didn't see his finger as he was using his scissors. But he was a big boy and a band-aid did the trick.  It was a boo-boo day - later in the day Reagan got a knick at Nonna's and Graham managed to let the pumpkin stalk gash his stomach
• Nonna picking up Reagan and Anderson - they had a big day and didn't make it back home until after 3:30.  Mom and Graham waited on the porch outside for a long time but enjoyed watching all the cars pass by.
• This afternoon Reagan was standing by Mom and talking about how hot she was.  Mom suggested she change into something cooler.  Reagan told Mom that it was her hair that was making her hot.  She then continued with "If my hair wasn't so long I wouldn't be hot, I wish my hair was like Grandpas"
• Pops did send him a big plate of mac-n-cheese so we all ate a big bowl except Reagan and Dad who had leftover spaghetti.
• Mom headed off to Bunko and Dad kicked it into high gear with not just 1 activity but 2 activities (and now is worn out!)  First up, everyone helped make Snickerdoodle cookies from scratch (Dad had ulterior motive so he would have an evening snack!).  Then it was pumpkin decorating time - no carving tonight but everyone did decorate their own pumpkins (even Campbell) with some stickers!
• Watching 1 movie and eating a couple of our cookies on the couch.  When Dad mentioned he would read one book if everyone brushed their teeth and pottied.  Amazing how quick they can be sometimes - if they want.  Tonight's reading:  Elmer's Special Day!
• Everyone must have been worn out since no one has called out!  Not sure they are sleeping - did hear Reagan and Anderson discussing their pumpkin decorating expertise!
