Dennie Kids: September 10, 2010

Any excuse to visit Orange Leaf!
Highlights from today: (click here for pictures)
  • Graham was ready to go downstairs early this morning and find his choo choos.  He did venture downstairs by himself to find them and bring them back up.  He was so proud of himself (Anderson would never go downstairs alone in the morning-not unless the lights were already on)
  • Everyone begging Mom to sit up the tent.  Since she had a few things to do she thought that would be a good idea.  But after the tent, she had to get out the sleeping bags which led to everyone needing pillows, then needing Campbell in the tent, then they wanted breakfast…..
  • Finally Mom just decided to join everyone in the tent for breakfast and a few stories.  We read and read until it was too hot in the tent for Mom and Campbell had decided that she was ready for her oatmeal
  • Working on some of Reagan’s party favors for her birthday.  Everyone helped and when we were finished, we worked on a dot to dot followed by painting our letter Js. 
  • Anderson bringing all of his tools down to the garage to do some repair work.  He, Graham and Reagan worked and worked on Dad’s tractor.  When they would report that it was fixed, Mom would mention something else that needed to be fixed (like the carburetor-she’s not even sure if a tractor has a CARburetor!  But it did buy her some quiet time!)
  • Dad coming home for lunch and everyone eating and eating lunch.  They were very hungry!  Dad brought home a box and then it was played with for a long, long time-it was ice skates, a stool, a chair, skis, a bucket and even a turtle.  And when no one was looking, Mom put it in the trash bin!  (it was nap time!)
  • Mom getting a phone call and the noise level in the house went up to unbearable.  So she ended up outside to finish her call which mean that Reagan and Anderson were in much, much trouble.  There were many, many tears at bedtime
  • Everyone waking up in a better mood.  They enjoyed a snack and movie while Campbell sat on the floor watching everyone.  Campbell seems to be feeling fine.  Still coughing but not a crazy amount.  She had started reaching so far for a toy and will even put one foot behind her like she just might take off crawling.
  • Dad coming home and us heading out for supper at Cheeburger Cheeburger.  Reagan wanted to start her birthday celebration early with Orange Leaf.  Ethan and Avery were there and enjoyed singing happy birthday to her!  Reagan couldn’t believe that we could put a candle in her ice cream
  • After ice cream, we ran to Sam’s to pick up cupcakes for Reagan’s party.  Mom ordered the butterfly cupcakes-and only 5 of the 30 have butterflies!  Mom did speak with a bakery lady and she gave us 3 more butterflies.  A little disappointing but it will work out just fine!
  • Everyone going straight to bed-except Anderson who is now going to the bathroom for the 3rd time since he has been in bed
