Dennie Kids; January 11, 2010
Highlights from today: (click here for pictures)
- Dad going back to work this morning-this made everyone quite sad but we all survived
- Campbell eating twice last night and Graham waking up first to see Dad off to work
- Graham playing while Mom took a shower and then he stood by the door until Mom heard Reagan and Anderson waiting to get up
- Reagan asking about making a bird's nest first thing this morning (before she even climbed down off of the bunk)
- Getting dressed and heading downstairs-everyone was awake and hungry
- After breakfast, Reagan started work on her bird's nest (painting paper brown which she later glued on a sour cream container-her bird fits perfectly) Anderson even painted a little bit and gave his to Grannymom once it was dry
- Reagan, Anderson and Graham going with Grannymom to Rock Creek-but it was closed and since Grannymom had 3 distraught kids with her they ended up at McDonalds-where everyone was made happy with a hamburger (Graham) and ice cream
- Coming back to Grannymom's house to play while Mom and Campbell were at home cleaning (Mom) and sleeping (Campbell)
- Afternoon naps for all of the Dennies-didn't go so well though. Reagan couldn't sleep since she was obsessed with when she would wake up, Campbell was gassy and Anderson coughed until...well, coughed until he got his sheets messed up
- Everyone playing and hanging out until Dad came home-Graham did scream most of the afternoon but was completely happy when Dad came in and spent 10 minutes running from room to room squealing with excitement
- Supper from our Sunday school class and then the kids played until Reagan and Anderson tried to beat each other up-they were sent to upstairs to play separately which they did forever and then they played together upstairs nicely for a long time
- Graham standing at the stairs until Mom took him to bed, Campbell snoozing on the couch and Reagan and Anderson watching one last movie until bedtime

- Two wake ups for Campbell last night
- Anderson woke up first and laid with Mom and Dad until it was bath time for everyone (Campbell had her bath late last night since she was wide awake)
- Breakfast on the way to church
- Campbell seems to have woken up today-she was awake all during Sunday school, at Nonna's house and awake quite awhile after nap and at church tonight
- Lunch at Nonna's house where we celebrated Mom's birthday once again-she had a cake and even a few more presents to open
- Afternoon naps for everyone-long naps! Dad was running errands so he didn't get to enjoy the naps like Mom did
- Back to church tonight-everyone seemed to enjoy their classes-especially Reagan who loves to color in her Sunday night class
- Coming home and going to bed (Reagan and Anderson are still talking and wearing their fireman hats though)
Dennie Kids: January 9, 2010
Highlights from today: (click here for pictures)
- Mom feeding Campbell once last night and Dad feeding her the next time-it hasn't been that long but they seem to have forgotten how hard it is to wake up in the middle of the night
- Graham waking up first and laying in bed with Mom and Dad until the rest of the crew woke up
- Mom, Reagan and Graham heading downstairs while Dad and Anderson laid in bed watching a movie and Campbell was nearby sleeping away too
- Waffles for breakfast with lots of fruit-Reagan said she didn't want waffles but then ate all of hers
- Anderson and Mom going to Owen's birthday party at the fire station. We ate cake in the kitchen, then sprayed the fire hose, climbed all over the fire trucks, saw the firemen slide down the pole and even took a tour of the fire house. It was quite the party and Anderson had the best time
- Reagan, Graham and Campbell hanging out with Dad-Graham and Campbell had long naps and Reagan ate lots of candy, colored and watched a movie
- Paninis for lunch and then naps but Reagan never went to sleep, Graham woke up after a few minutes, Campbell needed her milk and spit up down Mom's sleeve and Anderson had a great long rest
- Eating supper at Chick-fil-a. Anderson was delighted to see his friend Mr. Greg there. Mom and Dad ate with Greg and Debby and then Mr. Greg played with the kids and they all had a blast! Anderson asked if we could come back here and have Mr. Greg come too
- Coming home and changing into our pajamas. Anderson's shirt is not too small but the neck is a little snug. Dad was trying to take it off and it was clearly stuck. Anderson came to Mom and Mom and Dad worked on it. By this time Anderson was in tears and Mom and Dad were still pulling at his shirt. He shouted "if it doesn't come off, what am I going to do? what am I going to do?" Mom and Dad had to stop pulling since they were laughing so hard. After it came off, Anderson suggested that Mom sell the shirt.

Highlights from today: (click here for pictures)
- Campbell waking up at 3:30 and it was cold in the house that early this morning-no one else was cold except for Mom
- Everyone laying around upstairs-we laid around too long-if we stay upstairs too long Graham gets very fussy and if we go downstairs too soon Anderson isn't happy
- Grannymom and Grandpa coming over to bring by our diapers (they were shipped to their house) and play with us for a little bit
- Naps for the babies and coloring for Reagan and Anderson
- Playing at a "new" McDonalds (new to us)-Dad even got to slide down the slide since he had to go up and help Graham down. Graham was in no hurry and having a good time but Dad was worried he was going to fall down the steps (yes, this one had steps) and Reagan was freaking out that he was going to get hurt and Anderson was following her lead and becoming upset too
- Graham diving back into the highchair when he saw Dad with ice cream
- Afternoon naps for everyone and then waking up one by on and wanting to watch a movie and eat candy
- Supper to celebrate Mom's birthday at Macaroni Grill with Nonna, Pops and Jason. The waitress lady sang to her and gave her a flower. And she even opened another present from Dad-a game! (She loves games)
- Everyone coming back to our house and Mom making apple cider while we all played until bedtime
