Dennie Kids: November 14, 2010

Highlights from today: (click here for pictures)

  • Waking up for church-we even had time to eat breakfast at home….because Mom was hurrying up to get us downstairs and then get out of the house-Dad must have caught Reagan’s bug!  (At lunch, Anderson told everyone that “Dad caught Reagan’s fly”)
  • Mom parking in the new parking lot at church (it’s the little things in life)-she loved it, parked right by the sidewalk, nice little walk up the sidewalk, not crowded so it was easy to back up, made her happy!  Anderson even found an acorn for his pocket (which is now in the washing machine)
  • Campbell fussing when Mom dropped her off-hope she grows out of it before Graham who hasn’t yet grown out of it!
  • Lunch at Nonna and Pop’s house.  Sandwiches and brownies were the perfect Sunday lunch.  Everyone played until it was naptime and we even took naps at Nonnas.  But no one really took a nap but Campbell.  Anderson and Reagan played semi quietly on their mats.  Graham tried to take a nap-he laid on the floor near Pops, had Mom lay with him, laid with Pops, sat with Mom in the chair, laid with Nonna, sat in the chair by himself-he just couldn’t settle down. 
  • Everyone loading up to go back to church.  This time Graham screamed so loud and probably so long that Anderson’s teacher came to get him so he could be with his brother.  When I picked him up, they were playing happily in the block area.
  • Campbell was asleep in her swing.  She has been quite the napper today.  She even started the morning with a nap in her highchair.
  • Graham fell asleep on the way home and was out for a while and then when we woke him up, he became hysterical.  He finally calmed down after about 30 minutes of screaming.  Had some supper, milk, medicine, read a book and was as happy as could be.
  • At prayer time tonight, Mom had to work very hard not to burst out laughing.  This is just a sample of Reagan’s prayer: “Thank you God for the turtles, thank you God, just thank you God.  Thank you God that you love them even though they are slow, thank you God.  Thank you God that you love the slow turtles.  Thank you God for the people that can walk.  Thank you God, thank you God for the people that can’t walk, thank you God.”-She must be a grateful little child because the said “thank you God” probably a hundred times!
  • I forgot, yesterday on the way home we stopped in a gas station to use the restroom.  As we were leaving the quiet gas station there was a man there with a prosthetic leg.  Mom saw him and tried to block everyone’s view and immediately started reminding everyone to “quietly walk to the car”-no one even noticed but Mom sure was sweating bullets over what kind of questions were going to be screamed out for all to hear!
