Dennie Kids: November 27, 2010

Highlights from today: (click here for pictures)

  • We had a little time this morning so we decided that we would make a donut run this morning (yes, Mom and Dad are going to cut way back the next few weeks-they are going to start weight loss contest) 
  • When we got out of the car at the donut place, Anderson was a little confused and thought it was his birthday since we usually get donuts on birthday.  We had to reassure him that this wasn’t his birthday but we would be back soon for his birthday 
  • Campbell is my donut eater.  She ate them as quick as we could tear off pieces for her.  Everyone else just licks off the icing and then gets another one.
  • Doing a little shopping at Toy Up-everyone picked out Christmas gifts for everyone else.  Mom thought they would all be into it but actually, Mom and Dad just picked out the toys while everyone played on the train table (like we don’t have one at home)  Mom thinks her new favorite store it Toy Up-pricy but tons and tons of toys!
  • Back home for a few minutes so Campbell could have a nap and Mom and Dad could reload the car.  Next stop was a tailgate before the game.  We had to park at Pulaski Heights and did use the double strollers.  It was a little bit of a haul so I am glad that we took both.  When we arrived, we played football and frisbee and the kids could have stayed out in the beautiful weather playing forever
  • Mom gave everyone a few pieces of chicken and Reagan pointed to the whole piece and said that she wanted that one.  Mom had a chicken leg on her plate and gave it to her and that girl devoured it all!  Next up was a walk to see Tusk the razorback. 
  • As we were walking there, Anderson saw the port a potties and decided he needed to go number 2.  Mom and Dad saw the line and turned around to load up and head home but that made him think he could wait a little longer (and he did-potties are like magnets to the kids-if they see them they want to go)
  • Tusk put on a show for us-he stood up, laid down, stood up again and even walked around.  Next was the walk back-we were right near the stadium and the crowds were very thick.  And then all of sudden the crowd started shouting “Arkansas Razorbacks”-it was loud and crowded! The kids eyes were huge and they must have been a little intimidating.  Dad was leading the way holding Graham’s hand, Anderson had put both of his hands on Graham’s shoulders and Reagan’s was holding tightly onto Anderson’s jacket.  It was like we had rehearsed how to walk in crowds.  Mom was bringing up the rear holding on to Reagan and holding Campbell while constantly counting to 4
  • Home for naps while Dad watched the ballgame.  Next was supper and a few books as the game finished up.
  • Mom and Dad did a little bit of cleaning during bath time and ended up plugging back in Dad’s massage chair.  The kids must have forgotten about it because the boys just sat in it and giggled as it bounced them around.
  • After bath, Reagan and Anderson were performing.  Reagan was singing to the top of her lungs “I love Santa, I love Christmas!!!”  Anderson’s song was a little different: “I love Santa, I love Christmas, Daddy threw all my toys in the trash can and my Pops spanked his bottom!”
