Avi - 5/16/2018

Avilene ate whole wheat toast and two servings of mangoes for breakfast.  For lunch she ate a large serving of ground beef with marinara sauce, a large serving of whole wheat spaghetti noodles, ate squash, and most of fruit salad.

I took this picture of Svea like 1 minute ago!  So how am I supposed to do Blogs when this little Cutie is sitting there grinning at me!?!  :)  What a sweetie.  Everyone else is sleeping except for her and me!!  And I'd much rather take pictures of her and play with her than do Blogs!!

The 4 "older" (ha) kids (Avilene, Hudson, Atley, Nora) were playing with the stuffed animals and pretending the animals were their babies.  And everyone was making LOTS of "baby sounds!"  It must have been pretty realistic because I invariably kept looking at the monitor to see which baby was awake!!  Haha!  Svea and Linnea were both sleeping at the same time.

We had a pretty normal morning and the kids played and explored well with minimal conflict!  Hey, sometimes that alone is reason to celebrate!  We read books, did some sign language, watched the neighbors and people walking their animals, the kids dove off the balance beam head-first, and also built with the big blocks.  (And here are the pictures!)

Here's a picture taken of Svea shortly before breakfast this morning.  This look says;  "Ok Gary, can we pleeeeeease stop doing selfies now and just put me to bed.  I'm tired!"  :)  I don't know if I'll ever get these Blogs done today; she just grinned at me again!!
