Dennie Kids: August 18, 2010

Highlights from today: (click here for pictures)

  • Beginning our play early this morning-the train set is in the middle of the floor in the kitchen and den (Dad tripped over it 4 times last night).  When it is on the train table they don’t really care about it but when it is on the floor, it is all they can think of.  Anderson woke up, went to Mom’s room to get his milk and then left everyone and went downstairs to play.   And Graham loves it just as much
  • Reagan spent her morning playing with her dollhouse.  She loves to play dollhouse-Mom wants to buy her another one but one is probably enough for one little girl to play with!
  • Anderson got the lawn chair and put it beside the front door.  He told Mom that he was going to look for Dad.  Mom told him that was great and that Dad would be home in about 7 hours-he didn’t make it there until Dad came. 
  • Making cinnamon rolls with Mom (don’t be impressed, they were out of the can).  Everyone wanted to help and picky eater Reagan didn’t want one but she finished it off.  Graham seemed to like all 3 of the cinnamon rolls he ate!
  • Watching Grandpa work on the tractor a little bit-he got it working and test drove it.  The tractor is a bit noisy and does frighten Graham even though Mom was right there beside him.  Later, he told Mom: “Grandpa scare me”
  • Reagan and Anderson dressing themselves this morning (even though Mom had clothes laid out).  Reagan had a pink dress, green bow and matching orange socks.  While Anderson chose bright blue socks, orange and blue plaid shorts and a red shirt!  Possible they are colorblind!
  • Playing and then lunch at Nonna’s house while Mom went to the dentist.  Cars and dollhouses were again the hit.  Nonna began to wonder if little sweet Campbell’s hair is going to turn red because she saw a flash of Campbell’s temper when a toy was took from her.  Yes, Campbell never cries except when she is hungry or tired.  She does however, throw a tantrum if you take something from her
  • Coming home for naps-everyone had to wake Reagan up to go swimming.  After waiting on Dad so long yesterday they decided not to wait on him tonight.  They swam and swam and swam for over 2 hours.  After Dad mowed, he jumped in to swim too. 
  • Near 7, Mom realized that the kids hadn’t had supper so she brought out corndogs for a snack.  After Mom and Dad drug everyone out of the pool, they put on pajamas and headed into the front yard
  • Since Grandpa had fixed the lawnmower, everyone took a celebratory ride around the yard.  Since it was late, Dad drove everyone at mach speed and they were all in bed just a little bit after bedtime!  Big day, school for all 4 tomorrow
