Avi & Svea - 11/7/2018

Avilene ate two servings of whole wheat toast and ate mangoes for breakfast.  For lunch she ate a large serving of ground beef with marinara sauce on whole wheat spaghetti noodles, bite of cauliflower, and bite of fruit salad.  At breakfast Avi said, "Gary, I like the new table...and the chairs." At lunch she said, "Gary, My little pony is gonna go see Mr. Moorcheck."  Uhhh...good?  :)  (At least that's how I heard it!)

During Story Time we were reading the book, "Hey Diddle Diddle the Cat and the Fiddle."  This one has several cute verses, but it's been several weeks since we've read it.  (I have lots of "special" books we go through.)  In the middle of the book I changed ONE word to "friendly dragon" and Avi immediately said, "Kindly dragon."  Haha!  Yup! You got me!!  You impress me every day Avilene!!

I love this first picture of Linnea with Svea.  Look how Linnea's butt is hanging off the precipice!!  (Well maybe not a dangerous cliff, but it's a drop-off!  Ha!)  How the heck is she staying there!?

Next picture: Avi was working with the ink pad and stamps and when I took the picture she was wiping the ink off her hands.  She put her hand print on the paper and said, "Hey! Look at my footprints!!"  Haha!  Following picture: I always like getting all 5 kids in the same picture when I can.  It doesn't happen very often.  The kids were being a bit rowdy on the mattress and Linnea and Svea were trying to be right in the middle of it!!  I've mentioned this several times before, but it's pretty amazing how they watch out for each other and we have minimal conflict or accidents on the mattress.  Nora is trying to "tickle" Linnea.  Avi is giving her sister a loving pat.

 

Last picture:  This is kind of hard to believe, right!?!  Nora was allowing herself to be in the middle of a human sandwich and she wasn't screaming either!!  Avi made it short and sweet and that helped!!  Avi and I were reading books while Nora and Atley were playing on the mattress.  Then I noticed that Nora was laying on Atley and they were laughing their heads off.  So I got the camera and that's when Avi jumped into the picture as well.  Enjoy this picture because you'll probably never see it or a similar one again!!  :)
