Dennie Kids: November 16, 2010

Highlights from today: (click here for pictures)

(click here for a video of the book parade!)

  • Campbell woke up with a little bit of fever so she didn’t get to go to school-which meant she briefly went to work with Mom, then Dad picked her up for a few minutes and then Mom picked back up (she was exhausted from all of the shuffling around!)
  • Dad took Graham to school.  As they were getting ready to leave, he told Dad that he wanted to leave foxy at home and they did.  He fussed for a few minutes but quickly calmed down
  • Book character day for Reagan and Anderson.  They were so very proud of themselves.  After Mom took their picture, Anderson told Mom that he could go to class by himself and off her went. 
  • Reagan was dressed as Fancy Nancy.  She had her pink dressy dress (which Mom never lets her wear!)  She also had three hair bows, multiple necklaces and bracelets.  She thought she was something else.
  • Anderson was dressed as Mike Mulligan from Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel.  He had on his red shirt, overalls and hard hat.  He enjoyed the parades at school until his asked Ms. Wendylyn why they were still walking around.  He then told her that he was “tired of this”-but he did keep walking around proudly holding his book
  • Campbell was at school for the parade too with Mom.  She must have thought that she was in the parade because she kept waving at all of the kids as they passed
  • Dad picked up Reagan and Anderson and they headed home for a lunch.  Then Mom arrived home and soon it was time to get Graham from school.  Graham had a good day but he told Mom that he didn’t get to play outside because it was raining
  • Mom felt very brave and took everyone to the Painted Pig to paint Christmas ornaments.  They were great-all sat down and patiently waited on Mom.  Anderson painted a penguin, Reagan did a star and Graham did a gingerbread man.  Unfortunately, Mom is afraid that all of theirs will be a beautiful shade of brown due to lots of mixing of colors.  Campbell didn’t get to paint because Mom was too busy watching Graham (who didn’t want to paint but finally did)
  • Coming home and playing until Dad came home.  Campbell did take a late nap and then an even later nap after Graham woke her up.  Anderson and Graham also became reacquainted with Mom’s spoon. 
  • Supper, more playing, books and bedtime!  Dad got a blanket in the mail and gave it to Graham.  He was so proud of his blanket that he went to bed without any fussing!-amazing!
