Brother loves his lil' sis!

Highlights from today: (click here for pictures)

• Everyone was ready to wake up and get dressed so they could go to Jacob and Ethan’s house.  About 10 minutes until we were ready to leave, Reagan decided to make a list about our day.  I couldn’t get her to understand that we didn’t have time for a list because it was time to get moving!
• At Jacob and Ethan’s house, the kids played and played.  Campbell’s favorite was inflatable tires, Reagan enjoyed the castle, Graham liked hearing himself on the microphone and Anderson is almost convinced that he wants to ask Santa for a race track like Jacobs (and Santa is very pleased about that since he knows where one is)
• While April and I were working on lunch, Jacob let their dog in which caused Anderson and Graham to scream, shriek and shrill hysterically.  This hysterics caused Campbell to scream when the dog came towards her.  April and I hadn’t a clue about what was going on but she quickly ushered the pup back outside.  Seriously, does anyone know where I can get dog desensitization classes for those boys?
• Reagan was so excited to get to hold baby Hayley.  She loved it and wanted to hold her more than I let her.  Graham had said that he wanted to hold her and even sat down where I told him to and as I was about to hand the baby to him, he started waving his hands in a panicked look.  It was about the same as if I was going to hand him a dog-he wanted nothing to do with the baby.  Maybe that will be a good thing in September.
• Back at home, everyone headed for a nap.  Reagan colored a few pictures (at least 50-seriously, I should have taken a picture of them).  Soon both boys were up and everyone was having snacks.  My sneaky Reagan and Anderson secretly doubled their bowl of cereal for snack time.  And Campbell gets so excited when I hand her a bowl of cheerios for snack-you would think it was a bowl of candy.
• Next up was supper, lots of lego play, watching some Disney pictures on the big tv and then bed time for everyone.  Reagan was out within 10 minutes when I went to grab something out of her room but the boys are still going strong.  Where is that benedryl?
