"No movie for me. I prefer taking a bath!"
Highlights from today: (click here for pictures)
  • After every waking up early this morning, we were ready early and on our way to school in plenty of time.  Mom was even able to read Reagan and Anderson’s Awana book while in the car.  Dad didn’t have to rush when dropping off Campbell and Graham, who didn’t fuss again today!
  • Mom dropping off the van and Dad picking her up.  He borrowed Grandpa’s truck while Grannymom picked up Reagan and Anderson in her car.  Mom then used Dad’s car to pick up Graham and Campbell and then Grannymom brought Reagan and Anderson home!  Did you get all that?  Mom and Dad had to mentally practice this a few times before they were able to make sure everyone was able to find a way home!
  • Reagan and Anderson had lots of snacks at school.  So many that they didn’t want anything at McDonalds except a drink and fries.  They did enjoy sliding, sliding and more sliding. 
  • Meanwhile, after playing car swap Mom went to pick up Campbell and Graham.  She had to turn around to go back to the house to get her phone.  Then once she was at the car, she realized Campbell was dirty and needed changing but there were cars waiting on parking spots in the parking lot so Campbell would have to wait.  She tried to open Graham’s door of the car, but it would NOT open.  Mom finally had to lift Graham over the front seat to get him in his car seat and then reach over to buckle him. 
  • When Mom finally made it home and Campbell was more than ready to get home, so Mom tried to open the garage.  It didn’t open!  It wouldn’t open and Mom’s keys were in the shop with the van!  Grandpa came to her rescue with keys and work on the garage!  (Mom should have just stayed in tonight, but she didn’t.  She ended up getting in the car and leaving for bunko to realize that she was on her way 30 minutes early!-oh, what a day)
  • Graham loved riding in Dad’s car with Mom-maybe because she kept talking about how speedy she was driving! and making zoom zoom noises!  He was also lots of help while Mom was trying to open the garage-he kept saying “It broke, it work, no it broke, Momma broke it? it work, not it broke”-imagine this happening as the door is going up and done!
  • The kids were all wilder than Indians when they came home from school.  After Grannymom and Grandpa left, Mom reigned them in!  Ha!  She did make everyone sit down quietly while she worked on Graham’s clothes switcheroo (over 1/4 finished).  They didn’t do too well but they are going to get the hang of sitting quietly! 
  • Reading stories while Campbell was sleeping and then eating a bite of supper.  Dad came home bringing movies for everyone to enjoy!…which they did this evening.  Graham quickly tired of the movie, so he and Campbell took a bath.  Reagan and Anderson had showers after the movies were over
  • After a long day, they all fell asleep in no time-Dad didn’t even have to go upstairs…to let some one go potty, fix their sheets, help them take their shirt off, give them a sip of water, tell them what we were doing tomorrow or to cover up their feet!
