Avilene ate whole wheat toast and three servings of mangoes for breakfast. For lunch she ate two large servings of ground beef with marinara sauce on top of two large servings of whole wheat spaghetti noodles, ate a small serving of cauliflower, and three servings of fruit salad. Lunch conversation was primarily Avi giving Atley some tips on how to trick the parents. Haha. Here's a sample: "So ask your Dad to pick you up and he'll probably say yes." (Haha) "Then go ask your Mom to pick you up. And they'll both come to pick you up!!" And other variations on this theme.
Atley got Avi's water bottle for Avi to have a drink at Avi's request. Silence. I said, "Tell Atley thank you." Avi said, "Thank you" and Atley said, "Welcome." Avi said, "Why do you say welcome and not you're welcome?" Then Avi expanded on her point; "That's like saying welcome to the palace!!" Haha. Good example.
Svea and Cal were listening to Avi play this "piano" and Avi was quizzing them by making reference to the colored keys. "Do you like the blue sound?" "Do you like the "green sound?......"
Next picture; Avi said, "Hey Gary Look what I built!" Haha. Well the structure is nothing new, but how you're using it is very unique. That's a first! Avi and Cal getting a ride while Atley provides the power back and forth across the room. I will state the obvious; Kids are very creative in finding new ways to use old or ordinary things.
Last picture: So here's what I've learned about buying the large boxes of marker colors; the older kids generally prefer to use the basic colors. We have a container full of various shades and colors, but they complain because the "good" colors are gone. And when I buy more markers look which ones they use; red and blue. :) So I got several boxes with like only 6 markers per box. Avi has been interested in the Flag lately and spotted one on the Garbage Collectors door and curious about why he had it there.
