Dennie Kids: October 22, 2010

Highlights from today: (click here for pictures)

• Nobody wanted Dad to go to work this morning-even Dad!  Everyone even ran out to the street to tell him bye
• Mom made eggs for breakfast and we gobbled them up-Campbell even grabbed a few pieces from Graham’s crumbs.  They all begged Mom for more but since she had already washed the pan it was cheerios that they received
• Reading books at breakfast and then playing until time to go to the library.  Everyone was pretty good at the library-Reagan did play hopscotch in the aisles, Anderson illegally pushed Campbell’s buggy and Graham did have to sit right beside Mom’s feet for a few minutes-but the librarian did not have to get on to us today!
• Lunch and then a movie and juice.  More playing but Graham could hardly play because he kept telling Mom that in 5 minutes we were going to Jacob’s house.  This had bee the talk all day-Jacob’s house, Jacob’s trains, Jacob’s crane, Jacob’s roundhouse.  You would think we didn’t have a train table and trains at home
• Afternoon naps for everyone.  Except everyone woke up earlier than Mom had hoped-she was just getting sleepy herself!
• We then put on our Halloween costumes and headed to Jacob’s house.  There were lots of kids and everyone was all decked out.  Jacob was Buzz Light Year, Ethan was a dog, Kennedy and Camryn were hippies, Laynie was a clown, Reagan was a butterfly, Anderson was a fireman, Graham was superman and Campbell finally got to wear her costume-a duck
• Campbell was very happy wearing her costume.  She smiled, kicked her feet and was possible a little mad at Mom when she took it off.  Campbell had her first chili tonight and the big kids had “mummy” dogs
• After supper we made s’mores on the back deck and then kids managed to play on the swing and slide before coming back in.  They had lots of time to play on the train table but no one was ready to come home. 
• Once the kids made it into the car, they realized that they were in big trouble for a few incidences that took place.  Poor Reagan does not like being in trouble.  They had to be quite on the way home, no candy, no movie and then go to bed early (they thought it was early even though it was way past bedtime)
