Highlights from today: (click here for pictures) (click here for video)
- Yesterday Nonna and Reagan were discussing Pops looking in the window at school and checking on her. Nonna said that Reagan must not have seen Pops. Reagan replied that she “couldn’t be looking out of the window all day long because they would be boring”
- Mom and Dad have discussed it and they really can’t remember who woke up-this is what probably happened though: Dad heard the first one wake up and went to get them, they grabbed their milk and climbed into bed while Mom tried to lay real still so every one would think she was still sleeping. As soon as Dad laid back down, another one woke up and he got them and this process was repeated until there was no room for Dad and he got up to get ready and then until their was no room for Mom and she got up to get ready-that’s how is usually happens anyway
- Mom making lots of different things for breakfast-toast, pb and j, and cinnamon toast-since it was all made out of bread she went along with it. Campbell was eyeing the toast probably wondering why all Mom feeds her is applesauce and not the stuff from that bag that everyone else eats (bread)
- Playing trains, reading and making our letter I. We glued inches on the the i’s. Mom did have to use her “very ugly voice” this morning with Anderson. He had taken all of the couch cushions off to make a train (fine), then piled them in a big pile in the kitchen (fine), then some how knocked off Reagan’s 3000 crayons off of the table (not fine), drug the cushions up the stairs (not fine) and then covered them with all of his bedding (not fine). When Mom was done using her “very ugly voice” Reagan said that she sounded mean but Anderson had never worked so quickly to clean in his entire life!
- Grannymom coming over to play for a few minutes. The kids were delighted and they all wanted to play at once. Dad came home around the same time and Anderson helped him jump Mom’s car (we left the lights on last night). Anderson was so proud to help Dad fix the car which he said was “broken down”
- Campbell has a runny nose today and Mom doesn’t think that she feels all that great. So Mom thought painting Campbell’s toenails would make her feel better. It sure made Reagan’s day to have hers painted!
- Afternoon naps after chocolate milk and a story. Around 4 Mom checked the car to make sure the battery was still charged and it was. So she started getting ready for church, packing the bags, waking everyone up-Campbell first and changing her clothes, then Reagan and working on her clothes, followed by Graham who just needed a new diaper and finally she woke the sleeping bear Anderson up. She had to gingerly convince him to change out of his pajamas which he didn’t want to!
- Time was ticking away so we started loading up. Mom took a deep breath after rushing around getting 4 kids woke up, dressed and in the car on time. Then she plopped in the car, turned the key and nothing happened! Ha! The kids took it well and didn’t seem to mind so we unloaded and started to work on supper
- Pizza cut with cookie cutters followed by Dad getting home and them Mom leaving for her meeting. He handed out snacks and turned on the movie. After the movie, they played train for a long, long time.
- After that it was bed time. Graham finally settled down after he had switched beds a few times-it is nice that he has two cribs in his room to chose from. Anderson is going strong and just decided to take off his shirt since “it is too hot to wear shirts”
