Avi - 2/11/2020

Avilene ate whole wheat English muffin and two servings of grapes for breakfast.  For lunch she ate some pork roast, ate whole wheat toast, beets, and two servings of applesauce.  So at breakfast Avi said, "My Mom is going to be away for one sleep."  Where's she going?  "She's gonna be in Helena."  Atley started talking about "how many airplane rides it takes to get to Hawaii!"
Avi said, "No, she's going to Helena."  Atley said, "No, I'm talking about myself."  The totally disconnected conversation continued for a minute or two like this until Avi finished up by saying, "Hawaii is a beach!"  (Hahaha.)  "And a long long long ways from Montana."

Avilene asked me; "what does your shirt say?"  So I read it to her; "You're never too old, too wacky too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child."  At lunch time Avi looked at my shirt and said, "You never pick up a book and read to a child."  LOL.  Well that's close, but that's actually the opposite of what it says.  That hit my funny bone!!

First picture:  I mentioned this to Momma Molly yesterday, but thought I'd post a picture of it.  I'm allowing these two Preschoolers to have 20 minutes of screen time once per day.  (I got these 2 Kindles on Black Friday for $30 each.)  Lauralea worked hard to make these kid friendly and put very appropriate games on them.  Numbers, colors, shapes, etc.  There are numerous choices.  The kids have accepted the time limit without any moaning!!

Next picture: This was very cute.  Avilene said, "Hey Gary! Look! Cal is doing "ring around the rosy!"  He was loving it too!  When she finished she sat him down and he reached up for more of that fun time.  :)  Last picture;  This is one of the frequent pictures taken as a result of hearing this; "Hey Gary! You wanna get a picture of this!?!"  Yes, that's a nice contraption you built!!  :)
