Dennie Kids: October 28, 2010

Highlights from today: (click here for pictures)

  • Graham and Dad ran a few errands this morning before school-they were up and ready early.  They were home in time to share their breakfast with everyone-pancakes.
  • Reagan was pretty upset with Mom because Mom had out pants for her.  She turned on the tears and pulled at Mom’s heartstrings with her sob of “if I have pants on, I won’t be pretty for the Fall Party”-Mom got her a skirt!
  • Graham having pancakes and bananas for his lunch at school.  They were reading “If you give a pig a pancake” and it was the theme of their party.  His class went outside and when they walked out, Campbell was with her class and sitting in the exersaucer.  Graham’s class circles Campbell and were looking at/touching her.  Campbell’s teacher said that Graham used his arms to push everyone back and reminded them that Campbell’s was “my baby”
  • Dad made it to school to see some of the Fall Parties going on.  Grannymom was already at church watching the door so she went down the hall with Dad.  Anderson’s party was still going on and he was glad to see everyone.  Reagan’s class was outside playing games and Mom is sure that she felt “pretty” in her skirt
  • Everyone playing at Grannymom’s for awhile. Anderson did take a dive off of the swing but he bounced up after a few tears.  School days are pretty hard for Reagan and Anderson and they fell apart with lots of fussing and wailing.  Mom just sent them to the car! 
  • Playing at home while Campbell snoozed for a few minutes.  Then it was time to load up and head out again.  Pops invited us to test out the rides at GS Fest and the Dennie kids were ready to go!
  • First we waited and waited and began to doubt if any of the rides would go-everyone started to get a little concerned and Mom was just planning on driving everyone to Branson.  But eventually it was time and the kids were ecstatic. 
  • The favorite was the slide-everyone had a turn-even Campbell.  The roller coaster was quite bumpy but Pops and even Nonna had a turn.  There was a bear type spinning thing along with a fun house which was Reagan’s favorite.  Anderson didn’t care too much about going back into the house of mirrors after he walked into one of them!  The cars and motorcycles were going yet so they are first on our list for tomorrow.
  • Supper at Cracker Barrel with Nonna, Pops and Jason-the kids must have been hungry because they devoured their pancakes (and yes, Mom realized that Graham has had pancakes for all 3 meals today)  Next it was home for bed and everyone was exhausted!
