- Even though everyone stirred multiple times through the night and all 4 kids starting waking up around 5, we did manage to lay around until nearly 9
- Then we hurried off to Caleb's birthday party-there were slides, climbing, basketball, roller seats and roller skates (which is harder work for Mom than for Reagan or Anderson)
- Coming home and Dad starting to get sick so everyone hid out in the den and played outside then Mom took Campbell to the baby shower she was going to while the other kids slept
- More playing outside after nap time and then going out to eat (Dad was feeling much, much better-maybe it was just last nights pizza)
- Coming home and Reagan saying she didn't feel good-and she didn't! It must be Anderson's stomach bug- it continues to strike-3 down and now 3 to go!
- Anderson and Mom running an errand while Dad was holding down the fort-not so well!
- All is well now-Dad going to sleep on the couch (so maybe Mom won't get it), Campbell in her bathroom/bedroom, Graham sleeping peacefully in his bed, Reagan sleeping with Mom in her bed (she is okay now but pretty pitiful acting) and Anderson in Mom's floor in his sleeping bag (he thinks it is awesome that he is having a sleepover in Mom's room!)

- A fussy morning for all-everyone waking up before 6:30-which leads to fussy kids and a fussy Mom and Dad. They took over Mom's bed which pushed Mom and Dad out of bed too early
- Bananas for Graham, Reagan and Anderson for breakfast-they even ate Mom's banana
- Campbell finally waking up (she ate around 5 so she was slept until after breakfast)
- Everyone watching Mom while she was on the treadmill-Reagan played with her animals, Anderson played cars, Graham floated around from toy to toy and Campbell laid in the chair and kicked
- Mom letting Reagan, Anderson and Graham go outside to play in their pajamas! Lots of swinging and sliding-Graham can even climb up into the tree house by himself (which panics Mom-he did slip once, thankfully while Mom was right there and from then on he would only climb when Mom was nearby)
- Finding their watering cans and playing in the mud-Graham doesn't have a watering can so he would just put his shovel into the faucet and then drink it!
- Everyone putting on their clothes and heading to Target. Mom gave them 5 tickets and if they kept them we could have lunch at Target and they were perfect (well, as perfect as 4 kids can be at lunchtime)
- Eating our lunch at Target and sharing an Icee and then coming home for a nap
- Campbell stirring during naptime and wanting to lay with Mom and then Graham waking up next-he just sat in Mom's lap until she had to feed Campbell. He wasn't happy that he couldn't get in Mom's lap-that was first time that had happened
- Meeting Sarah Ashley and some more friends at Larry's pizza tonight. Anderson and Reagan hung out in the game room, Graham sat with Dad, grinned and ate ice and Campbell let everyone hold her and had 2 bottles
- Coming home and going straight to bed-Campbell fussed before falling asleep since she was so tired

- Graham and Campbell waking up at 5:50 this morning-way too early! But that was the longest that Campbell has slept at night-from 12 to 5:50 (almost all night!)
- Reagan and Anderson waking up next and were up next and ready quick enough to have some toast but still finished it in the car
- Graham fussing as usual when Dad dropped him off
- Campbell having a great day with Nonna and Pops-she ate, slept, had a little bath, ate and slept some more
- Mom getting that dreaded Mother's Day Out phone call: Anderson was sick. The whole way to school she was praying that they had called the wrong mom but no, it was her Anderson. He acted pretty pitiful with Mom but perked up when he saw Reagan
- His sweet sister finding an M&M for him in the car which didn't sit too well on his tummy. Thank goodness Mom handed him a bag before leaving school.
- Coming home and before Reagan got out of the van, she used the hand sanitizer and put some on Graham's hands
- A bath for the boys (Anderson needed one but Graham started saying "bath, bath, bath" the minute Mom told Anderson he was headed to the tub)
- Reagan making Anderson a precious get well card-which he threw down on the floor! He later apologized (Mom did make him though). But Reagan didn't seem to care to much
- Graham finding a piece of paper on the floor and Mom saw him trying to stick it on his back like the nametags at church. So she gave him a sticker and he put that on his back too! Poor kid won't ever know where to put a sticker
- Nonna and Pops bringing Campbell back home-she stayed at Nonna's house until they ran low on bottles and diapers
- A tiny bit of supper for Anderson-he had been begging to eat and drink for hours but Mom kept distracting him
- Playing and watching movies tonight while Mom was at class meeting
- Everyone going to bed feeling good (hopefully, that will continue throughout the night!) but Campbell staying up now watching a little American Idol

- Everyone upset at Mom because she wanted them to put on their clothes and take off their pajamas this morning-they love their pjs a little too much
- Still celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday by making green eggs and ham. Everyone enjoyed cooking it but Anderson ate more than Reagan or Graham despite the face that he had said he didn't want any
- Coloring some green eggs and ham and reading the book before begging Mom for some toast
- Playing downstairs and then upstairs before heading out Nonna's house
- The boys and Campbell hanging with Nonna while Reagan and Mom went for her dentist appointment (she still has to go back for them to do the real thing though)
- Snacks and lunch at Nonna's house and then coming home for a nap
- Reagan having a major meltdown after nap-screaming for a snack (we were getting in the car to go to church and eat supper so she could wait)
- Cubbies and puppets-everyone went to class tonight and seemed to have a good time (Mom didn't send Campbell's paci but she was fine)
- A snack before bedtime-Reagan had to go to bed early because of the fit she threw earlier in the day

Highlights from today: (click here for pictures)
- A school morning and a work morning for Mom (her first in a few months) and everyone was able to get dressed, brush their teeth and even eat breakfast before rushing out of the door
- Graham throwing a huge fit (as always) when Dad dropped him off at school
- Campbell loving her day with Nonna-she ate, smiled, stared at the fan, napped and even saw Beebee for a little bit
- Reagan and Anderson coming home with whiskers on their faces-they were celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday today-Mom couldn't believe Reagan let someone draw on her face!
- A few books, watching a movie, coloring and Reagan doing her homework before supper
- Everyone eating Mom's leftovers from lunch, chicken parmesan. The boys ate it up but Reagan did not eat the meat and told Mom that she wanted the pasta long next time (Mom had cut it up)
- A quick trip to Kroger after supper-Reagan and Anderson still had on their whiskers and Anderson was wearing Graham's pants (Mom told Dad his pants were in the hall-oops, Graham's pants were in the hall-so they were about 5 inches too short) Needless to say, we were quite a sight!
- Playing until bedtime (all but Campbell who is swinging and fussing now!)
Dennie Kids: March 1, 2010
Highlights from today: (click here for pictures)
- Campbell waking up (as usual) around 4:30 this morning to drink her milk, go to the bathroom and then go back to sleep
- Graham sleeping later than anyone else then joining Reagan and Anderson on Mom's bed to have his milk and watch a movie
- Playing princesses and Lightening McQueen until time for breakfast
- More playing downstairs-the favorite thing to play today was Littlest Pet Shop animals (until Anderson started chasing Reagan's little pets with his T-Rex)
- Working in our workbook and then coloring some pictures-Graham loves to color especially with the markers!
- Lunch but no one seemed to like the mac and cheese that they loved the other day
- More playing and a few stories before nap time and again today Graham didn't want to go to bed but Mom insisted
- Campbell waking up as soon as everyone else went to sleep
- A few movies after nap along with a few snacks
- Hiding from Dad when he came home-we love for him to find us as soon as he comes in the door
- Supper and then playing until bedtime. Graham, Reagan and Anderson spent most of the evening crawling under Dad's legs then jumping over some trains while running around the coffee table
- Taking a few pictures of Graham since today is his 19 month birthday
