Dennie Kids: March 27, 2010

Highlights from today:  (click here for pictures)

  • Campbell eating at 1:30 a.m. (Mom was still up so that was fine) and 6:30 this morning (Mom wasn’t up yet but sure loved getting back into bed)
  • A movie or two and then hurrying around to get ready to meet Nonna and Pops.  A quick bite to eat from Sonic on the way there.
  • Going to the Clinton Library for the Easter egg hunt.  The first thing we did was ride on the ponies.  Mom was pretty convinced that Graham was going to not want to ride the horses but he LOVED it.  His horse was named Tornado.  Reagan and Anderson enjoying the horses too but Anderson had his eye on the slides!
  • Hunting Easter eggs-everyone could have 5 eggs and they were zillions laying on the ground.  Reagan picked out the pink and purple ones so it took her a little longer.  The boys scooped up the first 5 they saw and were finished in seconds.
  • Sliding and jumping for a few minutes before walking around the petting zoo area.  The highlight was a kangaroo, emu and zebra.  Anderson was not thrilled with these animals and tried to get out of the stroller.
  • As soon as we came home, we went out back to work on the leaves.  Everyone tried to help -- raking, putting leaves in the bags and jumping in them.  Mom and Dad encouraged everyone to swing, slide and look for the buried treasure that Mom had hidden in the yard (two dimes and a penny).
  • Needless to say, after 2.5 hours outside they were all filthy (except for Campbell who had slept inside the entire time).  Everyone had a bath and put on their pajamas before a late lunch
  • Grannymom and Grandpa coming over to see us and all the work we had done in the yard.  Playing with them until naptime and sleeping a few minutes before time to wake up
  • Supper out at Five Guys Burgers & Fries and then back home for a snack and bed!  Mom is making Graham learn to go to bed without fussing (he has gotten into a bad habit lately).  Dad can’t stand to hear him scream so he wore his headphones until he finally went to sleep
