Dennie Kids: September 18, 2010

Highlights from today: (click here for pictures)

  • Dad worked in the yard while the kids had breakfast-they pushed the kitchen chairs up around the living room coffee table to eat.  Campbell didn’t want to be left out, so she joined them in her highchair while eating her yogurt
  • Anderson eventually took his breakfast out in the garage to supervise Dad.  He was so excited that he had to come and show Mom the “table” that Dad had made him-a suitcase
  • Everyone helping pick up sticks and then taking a turn shoveling grass and blowing off the driveway (except the boys seemed to blow more in the garage than out of it)
  • Graham hanging out upstairs while Dad was watching the beginning of the ballgame.  Mom walked in the room just as Dad had been shouting “go, go, go” and poor Graham must have been scared silly-he was standing on the bed covering his ears!
  • Campbell sitting in the floor-she is really starting to move (maybe “really” is a strong word")  She can turn, really reach for something and sometimes she inches forward-she is in no hurry since if she makes a noise 2 brothers and a sister run to her aid.  Oh, she does have a top tooth!-maybe that was the reason for the runny nose yesterday.  She spent last night grinding her teeth together.
  • Spaghetti leftovers for lunch-Reagan and Graham cleaned their plates.  Anderson even missed dessert while working on his, but he didn’t even notice.  They were too busy to go and play in their tent.
  • Afternoon naps and then eating out at Genghis-last time the kids mac and cheese was tiny so this time we ordered two and it was huge!  Graham did have 3 platefuls.
  • Reagan started complaining about her tummy while eating supper.  We then stopped by Grannymom’s house and she was acting pretty pitiful-even said she felt like she might need to spit later (and she knows when she needs to, so Mom takes her seriously).  We took and chance and went to get ice cream anyway.  Mom let Reagan pick hers and then ushered her outside to sit down.  Mom did pack a t-shirt in her stroller (to be used to catch or clean)  Anyway, after a few bites of ice cream, she found a cricket and was in heaven.  One even hopped on Anderson but we weren’t fast enough with the camera.  Reagan eventually caught one but she wouldn’t act like she was going to eat it!  Graham was too busy eating his ice cream to pay any attention to the crickets
  • At bedtime, Anderson asked to eat breakfast in the morning…in the garage!
