Atley - 01/14/2021

Atley ate two servings of whole wheat English muffin and ate mandarin oranges for breakfast.  For lunch she ate ground beef, two servings of whole wheat elbow noodles covered with two servings of applesauce, and she ate her peas. 

Yesterday at Snack time Atley randomly said; "Some people are spirit."  Avilene said, "Yes like God, Jesus, and Mary."  Nora said, "I already know that."  LOL!!   Yes of course you do Nora.  Then they were talking about penguins and Nora said they were at the "North Pole."  Atley said, "No, they're at the bottom of the earth."  (Which is basically true, but not directly at the South Pole.)  Avi said, "Is it a different Santa at the South Pole!"  Great question Avi!!  

Science with Lauralea today!  Subject was "Air."  We did about 5 different experiments and as usual the kids enjoyed it a lot.  Atley said, "Is there something we can take home!?"  They love it when that is part of Science!!  I said, "Sure, we'll send each of you home with a bag of clean air!!"  They were thrilled.  Haha.  And it's not even messy!  Firstt picture:  A great visual showing the kids how warm air expands.  Lauralea had a balloon stretched over the bottle opening.  When the bottle was placed in the previously boiling water the air warmed up and started to expand and push air into the balloon.  Too bad we can't see Avi and Svea's expression, but look at Nora and Atley.  Love it.  Svea started clapping her hands.  Last picture: We had some paper burning in the bottle and heat makes the air expand.  As soon as the flames went out we put the peeled boiled egg on the top and cool air created a vacuum and sucked the egg down almost half an inch.  Then we put the bottle into warm water and that caused the air to expand and we easily took the egg off.  :)

Atley ate half of cheerios and half of banana for breakfast.  For lunch she ate ground beef, whole wheat pita bread, ate avocado, ate olives, no tomato, and bite of cantaloupe. Atley was very thrilled to have someone laughing at her shenanigans and she was making Nora laugh within the first minute of arrival.  (Momma Megan got to witness some of their joyful interactions in the short time she was here!)  First picture: Those two are waving at Momma Megan.  When they were waiting for Megan to drive around the corner Atley was intentionally "bonking" her forehead on the window and Nora was cracking up!!  Haha!  Welcome back Nora. Then Atley was showing Nora her "bruised" elbow.  (I could see nothing that even resembled a bruise!)  Atley said, "I got an owie on here!!"  Nora said, "OW!"  Haha!  Which suited Atley perfectly; that's what she wanted to hear!! Here are a couple more pictures from Atley's morning.  She was doin...

Atley ate two servings of blueberry bagel and three servings of grapes for breakfast. For lunch she ate shrimp, two servings of brown rice soaked in black raspberry juice, ate broccoli, and ate black raspberries.   Apparently Atley has been having issues with Alexa lately!! Early this morning Atley said, "Alexa is still mad at me!" That made me laugh hard. Ok, it's time to reboot Alexa and that changed her attitude. :) First picture: Nora is not here today, but Atley still played at the Doll House. Well technically not AT the Doll House, but with Doll House accessories. :) In the second picture she made a "restaurant" with the legos. She has 2 little people facing each other and said they were "having a staring contest!" Haha. She made me laugh hard again! Third picture; Doing Animal Workout again and this time she's a "Dragon" in case you don't recognize the "dragon pose." :) Next picture; The kids were all lined up at the ...

Atley ate whole wheat toast and three servings of mangoes for breakfast. For lunch she ate a large serving of ground beef with marinara sauce on top of a large serving of whole wheat spaghetti noodles - then two more large servings of spaghetti noodles, ate two servings 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 pal...
