Avi - 8/15/2017

Avilene ate half of waffle and ate grapes for breakfast.  I assumed she was happy to see the grapes because she started chanting, "grapes, grapes, grapes...."  For lunch she ate half of baked chicken, no whole grain tortilla, no roasted cabbage, and ate baked cinnamon apples.  At lunch she was saying, "Come on dude, come on dude."  :)

I took this first picture of Hudson and Avilene examining the little stuffed monkey with the white bottom.  Hudson said, "Oh No!!  He's got a tooth skin on his butt!!"  Haha!  What did you say?  He repeated it about 3 times for me, but I couldn't really figure out what he was saying and that's what it sounded like!!  He did point to the white tag hanging from it's butt.

The kids were watching the street sweeper this morning and Hudson said, "He's sweeping the water! (Well they did spray water on the street first!)  We don't do Art Time very often during the summer months, but enjoy going outside when we can.  However, we decided this was a good day to do Art before we went out and I took the next picture of Avi sitting at the table doing some dot painting.  I occasionally move the paper around for her if it looks like she's about to make a hole in the paper.  :)

When we're going outside I'll be holding the door open as the kids walk out and sometimes Nora will stall by doing an "about-face" and head the other way.  So if my arms are full I'll tell her I'm taking the stuff out and will come get her.  Avi must think I'm leaving Nora behind and she doesn't like having Nora inside when the door goes shut.  Today Avi stood there saying, "Nora, Nora, Nora"  I said to Avi, "Hey, Little Mommy!  Are you worried about your Baby?"  That seemed to surprise Bubba!  "Avi a little Mommy?"  Yes.  Haha!  Then in the last picture Avi is holding her shirt down while Nora tries to lift it!  Nora eventually gave up trying and wandered off to something else!
