Dennie Kids: October 12, 2010

Highlights from today: (click here for pictures)

• Surprisingly, everyone managed to get dressed without much fuss this morning.  Clothes were on, breakfast eaten and movie watched all before school.  Mom and Dad got everyone else done first and then they had to scramble at the last minute.
• Graham fussing when Dad dropped him off-he tries so hard to be such a big boy and not fuss.  He did take lots of leaves from our campout for their art project today.
• Reagan was excited to show Ms. Stacy her pictures from her trip and Anderson touched a “dragon lizard” in class today.  It had eyes that blinked and its skin was rough.  He never really says much about school so that was a big deal
• Nonna picking up Reagan and Anderson and they rode bikes, pushed the baby in the stroller, saw Beebee and Papaw, had lunch and watched some movies before coming back home.  Nonna asked Anderson about his camping trip and he told her that he went “somewhere near his house”-they asked the entire time we were driving camping if we were still in our city.
• Mom picking up Graham and Campbell.  When Mom walked in Campbell’s room, Campbell looked at Mom, grinned and then said “hi”-made Mom’s day!  Graham was just as happy to see Mom until she told him we were going to pick up Dad.  Then he was upset when Mom said we were going to go downtown-he thought Dad was at home
• Dad and Graham going to pick up Mom’s car-they had to wait.  Graham was so pleased to walk into the dealership, rolling his backpack just like Dad with his backpack.  He was very good and drank some coke and then the car was ready.
• Having a picnic outside on the deck.  It was nice outside and pretty smoky inside (Dad cooked – he fried the potatoes a tad too long!) so we moved our supper outside.  The kids loved it.  After supper, they swang, slid and blew bubbles until it was time to come inside
• Graham got into some trouble and Dad used the spoon to spank him.  Anderson was looking on and shouted at Dad “you’re doing it wrong! you’re doing it wrong Dad!”  Dad finally decided that he had the spoon turned the wrong way and Anderson didn’t think that was right (and Anderson should know!)
