Highlights from today: (click here for pictures)
- A fairly lazy morning-we took it slow since it was a Friday. After we had on our clothes, Grannymom and Grandpa came over for a few minutes. Everyone was excited to see them and Graham was pretty upset when Grannymom left
- Next was breakfast-Mom cooked 4 pieces of toast and one pancake on a stick, then 2 more pieces of toast which set off the smoke alarm and then 2 more pieces of toast-2 for Reagan, 1 for Campbell, 2 for Anderson and 1 for Graham. We read a few books as well, reviewed our verses and even read some of our Bible Story book (thought the one Mom is reading us now is hard for us to sit still during-she may just re read one of our other ones and come back to this one)
- The library was next. The boys could have cared less about books today and were only interested in lincoln logs. That was fine since Mom and Reagan can fill up the bag pretty quickly with books.
- Dad forgot to take something to someone at work and he had lunch plans, so we ran home to pick it up and then drove downtown and back to deliver it. Dad was walking to lunch and Mom slowed long enough to hand the bag to Dad. He waved at the kids and Graham was very, very not happy about not being able to see Dad longer (which made for a long ride home)
- At one time today, Mom was demanding that Anderson answer her with a “yes ma’am” and all he did was stare at her and wave his hands. She quickly turned to fetch the spanking spoon as Anderson was still flapping and waving his hands. Finally, he spoke and screamed “wait, wait, I am talking like Grannymom’s brother” Mom assured him that even people who were deaf obeyed their mothers and said “yes ma’am”
- Afternoon naps and then getting ready to go to GSFest! The kids were so excited. And they had a great time except that Laryn couldn’t get her ride going and then her line was so long that we didn’t get to do the jeeps. Graham reminded Mom the whole way home “I DIDN’T do jeep, I DIDN’T” Mom considered turning the car around but he was talking about the motorcycles and pony ride next so he was fine. Reagan was disappointed about not getting to ride the ferris wheel (2nd year we didn’t) because of the line but she was adequately bribed with cotton candy.
- The highlights of GSFest: Reagan-fun house, Anderson-motorcycles, Graham-pony rides, Campbell-having undivided attention from Nonna inside Pops’ office. The highlight for Mom was the kettle corn and mirror house and Dad’s highlight was probably getting to drive the golf cart! It was lots of fun. Mom and Nonna even drove back by the church on the way home just to see all of the lights and rides in front of the church-it isn’t something you see very often
- Everyone coming home, drinking milk and then convincing Mom to read a few stories. While we read, Campbell laid her head on the floor-she was tired. Anderson had a pretty good nap today so he is still going strong thinking of reasons for Mom to come upstairs but hopefully they will be winding down soon!
