Dennie Kids: August 15, 2010

Highlights from today: (click here for pictures)

  • A big morning here at the Dennie house, 4 kids in 4 new Sunday School classes and one even joining us for church.  After cinna minis we made it to church in time to drop everyone off-even dropped one kid off in the wrong room.  Anderson’s sheet said the wrong room and no one stopped us (probably just thought oh, those people are crazy) but Ms. Olevia moved him to the right room and all was well
  • Reagan doing fine in her first real big church service.  She proudly held Mom’s old Bible until it was time to read from it.  She drew a picture of an angel, Mary and baby Jesus.  Also, this afternoon she was singing a song we had sang “We will remember”
  • Lunch at Grannymom’s house.  Anderson said that he hoped Lilly and Cash would be there and Mom said they probably would.  Anderson didn’t take her word for it, he told Mom that he would “just check, just check”
  • Lunch and then swinging for a few minutes before going home for naps.  Anderson cough is still keeping him up (at least that is what Mom hopes-she is slightly afraid that he is outgrowing his naps and she just can’t handle that) 
  • Reagan and Anderson keeping Mom busy during naptime running up the stairs to ask her a zillion questions.  Needless to say, they were up having a snack by the time Dad came home from the store. 
  • When Dad walked in, he asked if they wanted to do something fun.  Then he said let’s go jump in the pool with our clothes on.  There was no way Reagan was getting in the pool without her bathing suit.  Anderson stripped as fast as he could but once he was left with only his underwear on, he changed his mind and ran upstairs for his bathing suit too.  Mom had grabbed Graham out of bed so he wouldn’t miss the fun, and after taking his diaper off, he was more than ready to jump in the pool with or without his clothes on!
  • Back to church tonight.  This time, Graham threw a pretty good fit going to his new evening class.  But he had calmed down before Mom and Dad left the building.  Anderson was given the opportunity to go to his class or go to Big Church with us.  After Mom and then Dad and then Mom and Dad again telling him how he would have to act in church, he still chose church. 
  • Anderson did very well for a 3 year old boy!  At one point, he was looking across the sanctuary, stood up and told Mom that he was going to sit with Grannymom and then he was off.  Fortunately, Mom’s arm was gumby-like and she quickly grabbed him.
  • Reagan enjoyed looking through her big church bag from church today.  She even noticed a coloring book.  It was titled “A Religious Coloring Book” and the first page had a beautiful picture of space aliens to color.  Mom and Dad thought this was very funny.  Ms. Olevia found Reagan a more religious coloring book to color in.
  • Seeing Nonna, Pops and Jason in the hallway.  When Campbell saw Pops she smiled, waved and started talking.  After this, we headed home and ate our corndogs before bed
