Nora - 11/19/2020

Nora ate blueberry bagel and three servings of peaches for breakfast.  For lunch she ate two servings of pork roast (Gary, I love this meat), whole wheat tortillas, carrots, and three servings of fruit salad.  Speaking of meals the Program Monitor for CACFP (Federal Food Program) wanted to do one of their monitoring sessions today via Zoom.  Haha. Ok, that's fine with me as long as you don't mind the kids doing what kids do!!  I sat the computer on the art supplies cabinet and the three oldest girls were jumping up and down in front of the monitor so the lady could see them.  :)  But she was happy because I had all the proper paper work.  Thank you Parents for faithfully signing in-and-out which is one of several documents she needs to see.  

First picture is left over from yesterday afternoon when we went across the street to get a close-up look at the neighbor's decorations.  Second picture is Nora and Atley (to the right and down of Nora) playing with the Doll House and Cars.  They've been combining these toys and doing some elaborate play.  Once I figure out what they're doing I'll let you know.  Haha.  Third picture:  This is probably the third or fourth time I've mentioned this, but I just LOVE how much Nora's confidence has grown with these puzzles.  It's very significant.  

SCIENCE WITH LAURALEA!!  Science is fun.  The theme today was "AIR."  So I'm showing you two of the experiments.  The kids easily blew out a candle and then we got out the funnels.  Avi and Atley had the large funnels and they blew as hard as they could and didn't hardly make the flame on the candle flicker.  The air follows the sides of the funnel.  Svea had the smallest funnel, MUCH smaller than Avi and Atley's, and she was the only one who blew out the candle.  Nora's funnel is slightly bigger than Svea's. We did several things with the blow dryer, but in the last picture the kids had fun keeping a ping pong ball in the air.  With a stronger blow dryer you can keep several balls in the air.  We also used a small balloon and the kids loved that and were laughing like crazy.

Nora ate oatmeal and two servings of baked cinnamon apples for breakfast. For lunch she ate a large serving of hamburger stew with meat, carrots, green beans, tomatoes, potatoes, and onions. She ate whole wheat dinner roll and two servings of fruit cocktail.    Just in case anyone was wondering how many; this is the last of 836 Blogs for our sweet Nora. It's been such a joy for me to have Nora in my Program for all this time and I'm also thankful when she returned during the crazy covid time. I'm glad Miles will be here for another year which means I get to see Nora occasionally. I sure love all my Hansen family!! You guys are awesome. Here's a classic Nora comment from yesterday. The 3 oldest girls were at the table doing some Art. There was a clean piece of paper which had some paint or marker on the very top of it. And now no one will use it as they all consider it "ruined!!" Haha. Who did this? The denial was 100%. Nora said, "Gary, we all didn't...

Breakfast: French toast and plums. Avi said, "Not eating!" Ha. Ok, then Atley and Nora both followed suit! "Not eating!" Ha. I bet you guys will eat a big lunch and they did. Nora ate two servings of pulled pork, ate whole wheat toast, ate peas, and three servings of cantaloupe.    Nora; "I'm SO excited to start Kindergarten!!" Boy I've been hearing that phrase a lot lately and it is exciting!! What are you most excited about? Nora said, "I get to wear my mask." LOL That was SO cute. I laughed so hard. We could use her for a poster encouraging people to wear masks!! First picture; Yup, Nora's back in the house!! First things first; Get these fellas all lined up, organized, and ready to go!! Ha. She'd been here for maybe 5 minutes! Next picture: Nora said; "Gary! You got new markers!!" And that's true. So here's what I've finally  (ha - now that I'm close to retiring) learned about buying the large boxes o...

Nora ate blueberry bagel and two servings of grapes for breakfast. For lunch she ate shrimp, two servings of brown rice in berry juice, ate broccoli, and marion black berries.  At the meal table Nora saw a picture of Svea in the early years (ha) and said, "Look at you Svea! You were SO cute." Svea asked Nora, "Did you like me when I was that age?" What a super sweet conversation from both sides. Love it so much! This is kind of random, but in case anyone was wondering; I stopped doing the Spanish color words for the kids because - after listening to Alexa and Siri - I wasn't getting them correct and I didn't want the kids to have to unlearn and then relearn at Paxon. :)  First picture; Nora was building a tower with these little wooden blocks and you can see the "source of her supply." That would be Miles' hand. Haha. Later when Nora was done here Atley knocked this tower over and Nora said, "I wanted to knock it over." But Nora actua...
