Avi - 6/1/2018

Avilene ate oatmeal and dried cranberries for breakfast.  For lunch she ate a large serving of everything: tilapia, whole wheat elbow noodles, green beans, and applesauce.  (They love the applesauce smothering their noodles!)  On Fridays when we have hot cereal I always ask if they want their raisins, cranberries, or whatever, in their cereal or beside the cereal.  "In or beside?"  This morning Avi said, "Hey Gary! I want cranberries beside of me!"  That hit my funny bone!!  The wording was SO stinking cute!!

Here are a couple of pictures from yesterday afternoon.  This old stroller has small wheels and isn't the easiest thing to maneuver, but Avi mastered it pretty well yesterday.  (Nora also does pretty well with it - primarily because she's amazingly persistent!!)  And if the smile on Svea's face is any indication I think she was liking it too!!  :)  The 2nd picture is of Riley getting acquainted with Svea. Riley loves the babies and the babies have always loved her as well!!   Riley has a very gentle and unassuming manner about her.

Well we have 3 kids (Avi, Atley, Svea) here today and 3 (Linnea, Hudson, Nora) are absent.  Avi and Atley had lots of fun this morning (judging by the running, laughing, squealing, jumping) and were pretty much going non-stop full speed ahead!  I took this next picture when Avi got a couple of blocks and said, "I'm skiing Gary!  I'm skiing!"  Atley immediately did the same thing!  Except Avi realized her skis were mismatched colors and had to fix that!!  (Atley, on the other hand had mismatched colors and didn't care!  Ha!)  Then Atley crashed and now it was Avi's turn to copy that maneuver!!  And it turned into a game of crashing!!

For art time today we got some stamps and the girls had fun with those.  There are lots of different bugs, a few animals, dinosaurs, birds, etc.  The girls worked at it for a long time.  When they were done Avi asked, "Are we gonna spray it!?!"  That's the go-to question for every art project!!  The only time we spray them with water is when we color on coffee filters!!  :)
