An early birthday present from
ACH Nutrition Study!
Highlights from today: (Click here for pictures)
  • Keaton ate around 6-still middle of the night to me but Robby handled this feed.  As he was taking his shower, the others started waking up and we all were ready in a decent time.  I started back to work today so everyone had to get ready but we made it fine.
  • Robby took the boys to school and I took the girls to Nonna's house.  It was snack day for the boys and Graham was so excited about being the snack helper.  He had talked about it all weekend long when he saw me setting his snack out.  Anderson, the older and more mature brother, acted like it was no big deal that he was bringing snack.  I know he was just as excited as Graham.  I sent grape juice, raisins and cheese its.  I sent raisins even though both of the boys don't like raisins-felt like I needed to send something more than crackers.
  • At Nonna's house, Keaton had only one bottle and enjoyed being held by Nonna.  Reagan and Campbell played together and Reagan even managed to do a bit of reading for her school work (with my encouragement).  I picked up Campbell and we went to pick up the boys from school.  Then we all went back to Nonna's house for lunch.  The boys would have loved to have stayed longer but we had a list of things to do.
  • First on the afternoon list was school.  The little girls were having a nap and Graham and Anderson were in and out of the room.  They all did work on the memory work together and Keaton enjoyed sitting in her bumbo listening to it all.  If I could just get everyone else to sit as still as she does!
  • After school, Reagan, Anderson and Graham played some while I tried to pack for Branson.  I didn't get much done-like I found everyone's gloves.  Ha, I didn't even find everyone's gloves I just found the kids' gloves.  I always say that packing for one night is as hard as packing for 7 nights.  The only difference is the amount of clothes that you take-it is all of the little things that can overwhelm you-baby fingernail clippers, toothbrushes, hair rubber bands-all of that stuff.  Good thing I have a master packing list because it does make it a bit easier.  Anyway...
  • The kids had supper-rice was one thing they had and remind me never to let them eat it again.  How messy-it is so tiny that they drop alot and it is soft so it doesn't sweep up well.  But Robby had been to the store and had bought Lucky Charms-what Reagan had been begging for so they had that for snack.  And when those are spilled, it does help you get more of the rice on the broom.
  • I headed off to Bunko and they watched some tv and then it was time for bed.  Robby remembered that they needed to brush their teeth as they were getting into bed but thought he would just let them skip but Anderson remembered after they had all been tucked in so everyone had to get out to brush.  So he had to retuck in all 4. Keaton has spent her evening snoozing in the swing and it is nearly 1 now and she still needs one more bottle before bed.  
  • Robby told me when I came home from Bunko that Campbell had refused to wear her pajamas to bed.  She had had them on all evening and I guess she had enough of the feetsie pajama excitement going on around here.  But when we went to check on them, not only was her pajamas off but her diaper as well.  Those cute little butt cheeks sticking up in the air.  I was in too much of a hurry to get that diaper on her and we forgot about grabbing the camera.
