Dennie Kids: December 6, 2010

Highlights from today: (click here for pictures)

• School day for everyone this morning-Dad took Reagan to school and then Mom and the rest of the crew headed to Reagan’s school too.  Mom helped with the Birthday Bash in lieu of cleaning the house today and everyone had a great time
• Mom ran the “musical letters” game.  At first, Graham, Anderson and Campbell just stayed in the room nearby and played.  Then Pops came to get the boys and they went to play ball, meanwhile Campbell just crawled everywhere all by herself in the room.  She would crawl up to the window to peek out at all of the action and then go away for a bit.
• Later, when the boys returned it was Reagan’s class to come and play.  When Campbell saw Reagan walking down the hall, the baby took off in Reagan’s direction.  Anderson took over Mom’s job and made himself the dj and turned on and off the music for the game.  Graham just sat nearby and watched.
• After Mom was finished with her job, they walked to see Pops one last time while Reagan finished up school.  The boys busied themselves with going up and down the elevator…by themselves.  Graham even did it once or twice by himself.  Mom figured the elevator repairman was already in the building so he could be there quickly
• Everyone coming home for lunch and stories.  After lunch, the kids played and played very well.  But soon, it was time to end the good playing with naps.  Against Mom’s better judgment she let Reagan and Anderson sleep in the same room.  No sleeping went on there nor were they quiet-but they did leave Mom alone long enough for her to get a few things done
• After naps, Dad had picked up a movie for Reagan and one for the boys.  They watched those, finished our parrot letter Ps and hung their handmade Christmas ornaments.  Dad came home late, so when supper was finally ready everyone was starving and devoured their quesadillas.
• More playing this evening.  At one time, Reagan, Anderson and Graham all came downstairs holding their “crying” baby dolls. Graham held his and just bounced his and told Mom that his baby was sleepy.  Reagan got the stroller for hers and the food.  Anderson just started throwing his baby around while shouting “this baby is going CRAZY!”….Mom knows the feeling!
