Dennie Kids: August 20, 2010

Highlights from today: (click here for pictures)

  • After getting dressed and going downstairs, Mom made 7 pieces of toast for 3 little tummies.  Just wonder how many they will eat when they have big tummies!
  • Gluing on the roof of our “H” houses and more train track making and magnet doll playing.  Since we had to move some furniture/toys due to wet carpet yesterday, all of the toys are strewn everywhere in the den and flowing into the kitchen-Mom hates it and they love it
  • Seeing a trash dumpster truck on the way to the library.  Since Mom was in a good mood, we followed it for a little bit and watched it dump a dumpster.  The boys were in awe.
  • Anderson telling Mom as soon as we walked into the library, that he was going to tell Jacob hi.  Mom said ok even though she didn’t see Jacob or anyone else-but Anderson was right.  Jacob and Ethan were checking out books as well
  • Mom read a book or two to all of the little Dennies, Jacob and Ethan.  During the middle of the story, another Mom and boy came and also joined the story.  Mom didn’t intend for her story time to be opened to the public.
  • We had a ton of books (literally a ton) to check back in to the library.  Mom wasn’t planning on checking out that many again but while she was visiting with April, the kids loaded up the bag with 33 books.  We drug them all out to the car and had to find a new place for the library books once we came home
  • Watching our new library movie and even having a picnic in front of the tv.  Playing with Dad for a few minutes until time to load up again.  This time we took the horse!
  • Stuffing the horse in the car to return it.  It kind of clutters up the living room a bit with a 5 foot horse in the middle of it and since Graham’s party is long ever, it was time for Ed to go home.  Anderson walking through the church house calling “Pops, come out, come out where ever you are” until Pops finally came out and found us (even though we were pretty hard to miss-3 kids yelling for Pops, a stroller, baby, Mom and 5 foot horse)
  • Picking up numbers for tomorrow’s race (5 of the 6 Dennies are running) and then playing a little foosball and air hockey.  Topping the visit off with a snack in Pop’s office
  • Home for a long nap for everyone.  Campbell and Graham slept until after 5.  Reagan and Anderson were up and ready to watch a movie with a snack.  Before naptime, Reagan and Mom are working on reading.  They read some new words today: seed, see, mad, sam.  She does pretty good sounding out the words-and she was so proud when she read her words to Dad
  • Graham wearing a belt today and he was so proud of his big boy belt.  He would say “my belt” and just grin.  He would pull at his belt and when we mentioned going potty he would smile and say “my belt”
  • Spending the evening at Grannymom’s house with Dad while Mom went to a movie with the Bunko girls.  We ate, swang, had baths, played and stayed out late, late!  It was a blast and we went to sleep quickly this evening
