Lots & lots of peanuts!

Highlights from today: (click here for pictures)

• School morning this morning and the boys are still waking up way, way too early. We are going to see how Benedryl works tonight (kidding).
• At least when they wake up early, we are all up early and have plenty of time to eat breakfast.
• Robby picked up Reagan and Anderson and they headed out to eat to the peanut place. Oh, they love the peanut place and even brought me peanuts home-I really wanted a roll. Robby had me meet them and the easiest place to meet was Krispy Kreme. So after that big tease (pulling in the parking lot of Krispy Kreme, getting out of the car and then having to get in my car) they were pretty disappointed.
• We didn’t have enough time to go home so we just headed to get the others an hour early. Graham was out and when I finally woke him up he had that dazed and confused look on his little face. Campbell had been up for a few minutes and walked on out of her class to join her brothers and sister.
• By the time we made it home, I could tell it was going to be a long afternoon. Campbell and Graham were pretty fussy. After everyone had a snack, things calmed down and things calmed way down when Campbell went down for her afternoon nap. Though Graham was pretty fussy, I did manage to get some of my work done
• When Robby made it home, we had sandwiches for supper and then madegood on our Krispy Kreme tease from earlier today. Campbell saw the donuts and started squealing she was so excited. Everyone had 3 donuts-but 3 is not quite accurate since they each only licked the icing off of their last 2.
• Back at home, I reminded them about their “contest” to put on their pajamas without us telling them what to do. This really motivates Reagan and Anderson. Graham tries but still needs lots of help and little stinker, Campbell, just runs from me when it is time to change her clothes.
