Avi - 2/9/2018

Avilene ate several bites of oatmeal and dried cranberries for breakfast.  For lunch she ate most of tilapia, large servings of whole wheat elbow noodles, most of green beans, and a large serving of applesauce.  At breakfast Nora was saying, "oh oh, oh oh!!!"  What?  She'd spotted some oatmeal on Avi's bib.  Haha!  Thank you Nora.  Then at the lunch table Avi was asking me something and I said, "Hey, are you trying to trick me?"  She pulled back her bib and replied, "My trick-or-treat shirt!"  Good association Avi!  I love that!  (She's wearing a halloween shirt, but I wasn't thinking of that when I asked the question.)

These first pictures are from yesterday afternoon!  The kids had so much fun outside and it was great! The temperature was about 50 degrees, but we still bundled up good because that breeze was very cool.  A little different from today!!  Snow and 15 degrees when I got up this morning!!  Avi played with the steering wheel on the big climber and kept saying, "I'm driving!"  In the 2nd picture Hudson was pulling her up and down the sidewalk.  In the 3rd picture Nora was sitting in the wagon yelling and pointing to the wagon handle; "Someone get over here and pull this wagon around for me!!"  Ha!  (Just an FYI for those of you who don't know Nora; she doesn't talk.  She yells and points!)  She cracks me up!  So Avi eventually made it over there, examined the door, but never did pull her!  :)

We had fun reading books this morning, painting at Art Time, and generally just experimenting with how life works at this age!  :)  Hudson was at the window yelling, "Hey Gary!  Big Willy getting his mail!"  So Avi, Hudson, and Nora all ran and stood at the window banging on it and waving to our neighbor!  Willy LOVES it when the kids wave at him.  So cute.  Then I took this last picture when Nora and Avi were experimenting with various stances and watching themselves in the mirror.
