Dennie Kids: April 16, 2010

Highlights from today:  (click here for pictures)

  • A rocky start to the morning-Dad going to work very early, Mom not feeling well, everyone waking up early and the DVR in Mom’s room not working!
  • Everyone but Campbell watching a movie downstairs and Campbell hanging out upstairs with Mom while Mom took a shower-after a shower and movie everyone felt better
  • Next was breakfast while Mom attempted to read a few stories which would have been entertaining for others to see since Mom’s voice was only a whisper.  Mom did realize that when she whispered Anderson heard everything that she said
  • We played a game matching the uppercase and lowercase letters-Reagan did them all perfect, Anderson had time for just about 12 but he did them without a problem (surprising Mom) and when Mom handed Graham one he did it right too (was it luck or not?)
  • Campbell watching everyone paint with watercolors.  Since she didn’t get to paint, Graham felt obligated to splash some paint her way!
  • Lunch and then another movie before naptime-Mom thought she would even be able to get a nap.  But Campbell, who hadn’t slept more than 20 minutes all day, just took a short cat nap.  Shortly after, Anderson was calling to get up so Mom went ahead and got Reagan up.  Reagan hadn’t been to sleep-she had been to the bathroom once, asked Mom to turn on the ceiling fan and played with the 30 other animals she had brought to Mom’s bed
  • Mom and Anderson playing trains most of the afternoon-Mom told Anderson that there was a lot of rules to his trains.  And he said “of course, there are rules for everything”
  • Graham playing with the bouncy balls-he loved them and even carried a flashlight around with him so he could find the ball when it went under the couch, or chair, or oven, or refrigerator or tv…..
  • Dad coming home and mentioned going out to eat-so everyone put on their clothes (Mom had them out all day but they seem to prefer their pajamas) and we headed out to eat
  • Seeing a faithful blog reader at Chick-fil-a -- Ms. Pam -- she used to work with Dad when he moonlighted at the funeral home.  Everyone ate quickly wso they could go and play.  Anderson and Reagan slid a zillion times and Graham was right behind them most of the time
  • Graham going to bed when we came home, Reagan and Anderson watching one movie and then begging for more while Campbell sat beside Mom and Dad and kicked her little feet
