Avi - 11/1/2017

Avilene ate whole wheat toast and two servings of mangoes for breakfast.  She was the only one who like the frozen mangoes.  (They really do taste different than the fresh mangoes - my opinion!)  For lunch she ate ground beef with marinara sauce, noodles, bites of squash, and two servings of fruit salad.

Yesterday afternoon we were reading on the couch and she spotted a silver SUV drive by the window. She jumped up and said, "Momma mini-van!"  Haha!  That hit my funny bone!!

I did some building with Avi and Hudson with the legos and then they continued to play - build and destroy - with our creation.  In the following picture Avi went to the fence to greet Lauralea.  That is a morning ritual, but the blanket over the head is a new look!  Atley saw it and immediately put a blanket on her head before greeting Lauralea as well.

You can't see it in the next picture, but Avi was carrying a doll blanket.  She came up to me and said, "Purple blanket."  "Oh, it is?"  She said, "Yes."  And ran around he corner to point to the purple crayon in one of the color posters!  I believe she was trying to teach me what purple looks like!  Ha!  (Lots of people have already tried that Avilene!  So far it hasn't worked!)  My partial colorblindness always fascinated my stepdaughter Missy.  For probably 7 years - Junior High through High School every night at the Dinner table she'd ask the same question: "Hey Gary, what color is my shirt?"  :)

So here's the story behind the last picture:  The kids did some coloring with markers and then we did some leftover halloween stickers too.  (Avi loves doing the stickers, but isn't quite so thrilled with the coloring.)  So we were basically done when I took the picture and they were ready to leave.  So I said, "Point to your favorite sticker!" (It was my intent to make the picture look like they were still doing some art!  Haha!!)  Avi is showing Nora which sticker she should be pointing to!!
