- Apparently there is a whole lot happening upstairs in the middle of the night that we have not a clue about despite the monitor. Reagan said that she had to get up 3 times last night. Once to turn off a nightlight (Robby had turned it on instead of the fish lamp which they asked us not to turn on). Again to make the clock stop blinking because that was scaring Graham (clock was blinking because the power went out). And then again to walk Graham down the steps and all the way to our room (guess he isn't so brave after all). I guess she turned around and went back upstairs to bed after bringing him to us. Anyway, we made it pretty clear that no one was to get out of bed tonight-though we have already heard feet prowling around above our head.
- Robby took Reagan and Anderson to school. It was feast day for them both. More on that later. Since Robby took the big kids, our schedule here was a bit out of our routine. Graham followed me around and eventually played a game and then watched a movie until it was time for us to go. Campbell paid a bit of attention to what Graham was doing but most of her attention was give to Keaton this morning. Who by the way, ate 2 times in the middle of the night-that may be normal for some babies but not for our Dennie babies.
- Our goal was to arrive at church a little after 10:30 to see some of Anderson's feast. But the traffic was pretty bad due to the rain so we missed Anderson's feast but did make it in time to help get ready for Reagan's feast (all of the set up folks were also stuck in traffic). As I worked setting up, Graham played, Keaton slept and Campbell helped herself to the desserts. We picked up Anderson and then all went back over for Reagan's feast. The boys played until it was time to eat. Campbell sat by Reagan and her class and waited patiently.
- When it was time to eat, Graham also sat by Reagan and Anderson hung out by Keaton near the stroller. They all did line up for desserts and once Campbell was finished with her dessert plate-she went to get back in line (didn't let her). Reagan's teacher held Keaton and many of Reagan's class mates enjoyed patting the baby on the head.
- We left church just as they reopened the interstate so we were able to zoom on over to Nonna's house with little traffic. The kids played there and I even snuck out to run an errand. After a bit we headed back home.
- The boys alternated between playing upstairs and watching a movie. They watched a tractor movie and then played tractor then they watched a fire truck movie and then played fire truck. Reagan helped me make a few things and she was very excited when I told her I would need her help to make our Thanksgiving food. I mostly just handed her the things to make and left her alone-she really thought she was something else.
- Soon Robby was home and we were eating supper-mini hamburgers and bbq beans from my bunko freezer meal swap. The kids played fairly well until bedtime-fairly well means no blood or bruises. Then it was bedtime for them and ice cream time for me.
