The cousins! (Anderson was at a
birthday party; Jenna was gone too!)
Highlights from today: (click here for pictures)
  • We were all up this morning so Robby and the kids walked over to Grannymom’s house for breakfast.  Since Josh and Zach were there the boys were ready to get over there and didn’t want to waste any time. 
  • I stayed at home and straightened and soon left to pick up Anderson for her 9:30 birthday party for Collier.  It was at a jumpy place and Anderson jumped, climbed and ran until he was wet with sweat.  I should have hosed him down before he got back in the car.  At present time, I asked if he wanted to stay and watch presents being opened or go back and see Josh, Zach and Cash.  When I said that he was ready to go…but then he said “maybe let’s just stay and see one present”
  • Reagan, Graham and Campbell walked with Dad, Shelley, Zach, Josh, Grannymom, Lilly, Cash and Dana across the Big Dam Bridge.  It took them awhile to make it across and back but they had a nice stroll-apparently the highlight was seeing a three legged dog.  Good times!
  • Next up for everyone was lunch at Dana’s house-leftover BBQ from Jenna's party.  The kids played outside in the garage.  They had a blast-balls, bikes, balloons.  They could have stayed forever but soon it was time to run to Sams to pick up our medicine, milk and Robby even splurged on blueberries (he is now Reagan’s favorite).  And it was sample day there so we loaded up on samples.  As Reagan and I were walking to the bathroom, we stopped at the M&M samples and she wanted to get some for the boys but since we were going to the bathroom we couldn’t but I thought that was really sweet of her.
  • By now it was well passed nap time but we still put everyone down.  They all went to sleep and it was nearly 6 before we all stirred-that wasn’t a great plan.  Graham woke up fussy and we all were in the car ready to go before Anderson was awake enough to get up to potty.  My boys sleep hard-way too hard sometimes. 
  • The big adventure tonight was going to the car wash.  Reagan was really the only one who enjoyed it.  Anderson was a little panicked and almost unbuckled and ran to me at one point but by the end he was enjoying it.  Graham rode the whole way with his hands on his ears but did ask to go there for his birthday.  Campbell took cues from her brothers and leaned way over in her seat away from the window and whined a bit.  After we finished the car wash, we vacuumed the car.  The kids ran around and helped us vacuum while Campbell observed from her stroller.  It is quite the task taking all of the car seats out but the car is now neat and clean for the trip.  The kids will have to walk for the rest of the week.
  • We then had supper at Jason’s Deli-the kids really don’t understand why Jason wasn’t there.  They loved the crackers, muffins and ice cream.  After buying two kid meals lately, Robby is numbering the days that we can still take everyone out to eat-what will we do when everyone can eat their own meal.  Hmmm, we better invest in cooking classes for Reagan. 
  • Back at home, it was very, very late but Reagan needed a quick blueberry fix before bed and the boys needed their milk.  Afterwards it was potty, teeth, prayers and the new thing lately-singing a song before bed.  Today was This is the Day-everyone said that they sing it at school.  Need to think of some more songs we can sing (probably should make a list-might do that sometime when I spend alot of time in the car).
