Dennie Kids: August 5, 2010

Highlights from today: (click here for pictures)

  • I have forgotten to mention:  The other night at Chick Fil A, the kids were setting at their own booth.  Reagan and Graham on one side and Anderson alone on the other side.  Robby looked up and saw that Anderson had a friend.  A little boy had come and sat beside Anderson.  The Dennie kids were busy licking their ice cream but did manage to stop licking long enough to stare at the new visitor.  The boy must have felt left out since he didn’t have anything to lick, so he picked up the salt and pepper shakers and started licking them.  Anderson looked at Dad and said “why is this boy sitting by me?” and then “why is this boy eating the salt and pepper?”  We couldn’t help ourselves from laughing out loud.
  • Also the other day when it was a zillion degrees outside, Mom held Graham to go and let Belle off of the deck (trying to get Graham used to Belle).  Graham catches on quickly and starts screaming and trying to crawl on top of Mom’s head.  The commotion brings out Reagan.  While Mom busied herself giving Belle water, Graham spent time knocking on the door to the house saying “me in house” since he was still terrified of Belle.  Anderson must have felt lonely inside so he tried to open the door to come out but instead he locked it!  Mom had to walk around the house to get back in-Anderson thought he was going to get in trouble (he didn’t), Graham was terrified to be in the back yard near Belle and Reagan was trying to calm everyone down!
  • This morning started off fairly slowly with Mom and Dad having to wake Graham and Reagan up to get in the car to go to Nonna and Pop’s house for the morning while Mom went to work. 
  • Anderson had a great time at Nonna’s because they let him keep on his pajamas all day.  He loves wearing his pajamas and becomes quite adamant about not taking them off.
  • Nonna’s friend, Ms. Mary, coming over to play for a bit.  She brought 2 fish games which the kids loved.  They also played and talked to Ms. Mary-which is quite odd for this crew.
  • Anderson and Pops sitting on the front porch watching the rain.  Anderson told Pops not to worry because “the rain will stop in 40 days.”
  • Naps and then Reagan and Mom working on labeling all of her school supplies and then Anderson helped Mom fix a broken shelf.  He was very disappointed that we were only able to use the hammer and not all of the other tools
  • Mom hearing Campbell after nap just cooing away in her bed-she didn’t fuss and just talked until Mom came and got her
  • Supper and then playing wedding-Reagan made a flower bouquet, put tablecloths on the furniture, had her brother’s walking down the aisle and then demanded that everyone dance (she has only been to a Baptist wedding so I don’t know where she came up with the dancing part).  There was also a first kiss involved between Reagan and Anderson!  Dad tried to tell them that they couldn’t get married but they didn’t seem to care!
  • Legos and then bed with just Dad around since Mom was at class meeting.  Campbell took Mom’s spot on the couch!
