Nora - 12/10/2020

Nora had no whole wheat English muffin and ate two servings of mandarin oranges for breakfast.  For lunch she ate ground beef, whole wheat elbow noodles, three servings of peas, covered in three servings of applesauce.  

Atley said, "My Dad went to Great Falls."  Nora was excited; "My Great Falls?"  So cute.

This first picture was yesterday afternoon after snack.  Atley went to Nora for some loves and Svea joined right in.  It was so cute.  (I saw what precipitated this moment and Atley greatly exaggerated the incident with Avi, but this was the lovely outcome.  Haha.)  Second picture from this morning.  More loves and comforting each other.  It looks very similar to yesterday and I love how Svea joins them.  

So the highlight of Thursday mornings is "Science with Lauralea."  The first experiment was Preschool introduction to electricity.  :)  I love it.  Power source is the 9-volt battery, conductor is the wire carrying the power to the lights.  We used 2 mini lights and Lauralea gave each of the 3 big girls those items and asked if they could make the lights come on.  Essentially no instructions and Avi figured it out in less than a minute.  And the others followed her lead.  Super exciting for the girls.

Activity number 2:  Two baking trays covered with aluminum foil and each girl chose a Christmas cookie cutter.  They layered the bottom of the cookie cutter with beads (most were plastic) and put them in the oven at 400 degrees.  That sure smelled good.  Haha.  Not.  Look in the picture of the girls plugging their noses.  So we'll see how the "Christmas Tree Ornaments" come out.  :)  Because of what we were using Svea was convinced it would be something to eat.  Haha.  She asked, "Can I eat my cookie?"

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 oatmeal and apple bites for breakfast.  For lunch she ate a large serving of hamburger stew with carrots, potatoes, and green beans.  She ate a bite or two of dinner roll and ate apricots. These first two pictures are from yesterday afternoon and the first picture has Riley feeding Nora cottage cheese for snack.  For the 2nd picture Kenzie and Riley wanted to take pictures of me reading to the kids.  (Hudson had left by this time.)  They took several pictures with my phone and I thought they did a good job.  :) All the kids know I use two pillows when I sit on the couch!  This morning I said, "Ok everyone, it's Story Time."  Nora picks up both pillows off the floor and takes them to the couch.  All the kids do that; whoever finds them, but this is the first time I've seen Nora do it!  :)  Shortly before that Hudson had apparently taken something and Nora was yelling at him.  Hudson said, "Hmmm... Nora didn't li...
