Highlights from today: (click here for pictures)
- What a busy day! We started with Anderson leading everyone in saying our Awana Bible verses (we are trying to say them all each day) Then we read a few stories including one about Jupiter (Jason has shown everyone where Jupiter is and they love talking about it)
- Campbell has a new favorite breakfast food-toast and jelly. She seems to gobble it up though a lot does end up on the floor but surely more ends up in her tummy
- After some playtime, we made our mouse letter Ms. Mom was quite impressed with how they turned out. Next it was time to play Monopoly Jr. Campbell was put in the pack n play to observe, Graham lasted about 2 minutes and Anderson held out for awhile. Mom had to take over for Anderson and Reagan was the winner and she was very proud of herself.
- Next was baths for everyone-the boys in one tub and the girls in the other. Guess which bathroom ended up with water all over the floors and walls? Anderson had to do a little bit of cleaning when he got out of the bathtub. Some how Mom let time get away from her and she looked at the clock and we had 24 minutes left to leave and everyone was still in the bathtub-that is 6 minutes per kid! Impossible! 4 kids to wash, 4 bodies to dry off, 4 shirts, 4 pants/skirt, 2 diapers, 2 pairs of underwear, 8 socks, 8 shoes, hair to comb and 4 kids to buckle in the car. We did arrive pretty much on time
- There was a baby shower at work….for Campbell. It is never to late for a baby shower even if you are 10 months old. It was for her and 3 other babies (on the way to 6 months old-Campbell was the only one that made it to the party) Reagan, Anderson and Graham were perfect little angels. They devoured their Olive Garden pasta and breadsticks. Campbell had her share of pasta too. The highlight was the white chocolate ghost and then playing on the swing, balls, slide, tool set and bike. The highlight for Mom was a generous gift card (which all 4 Dennie kids will benefit from)
- Coming home and naps for the little ones while Reagan and Anderson watched a few movies upstairs. Then we headed out to meet Nonna but the garage wouldn’t close. Mom tried and tried and tried some more (turns out it worked fine for Dad when he came home check!)
- Picking Nonna up at church and her hanging in the car with the kids while Mom ran into buy bananas for Graham’s class tomorrow (and they are as green as they can be) and then the next stop was Mom’s work in Benton for her to sign her name on a few pieces of paper.
- When we picked Nonna up, Reagan, Anderson and Graham saw the rides and they were immediately excited. Graham kept telling Mom and Nonna that he would ride on the train in “5 minutes.” When Mom would try to explain that it would Friday night he would get mad and insist that 5 minutes is when we would ride
- Cubbies for everyone and then home for milk, prayers and bed. Graham’s prayer tonight was “Thank you for milk, Thank you God for Mom’s work, Amen”-he must have really enjoyed playing at Mom’s work since it ranked right up there with his milk!
