Nora - 01/14/2021

Nora had no whole wheat English muffin and ate mandarin oranges for breakfast.  For lunch she ate ground beef, two servings of whole wheat elbow noodles, ate two servings of peas, and three servings of applesauce.  (Using applesauce to cover peas and then her noodles.)

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!!  

I'm posting this First picture for Ryan's benefit.  He gets to hear all my comments about Sanders County Montana where I grew up.  Nora said, "Hey Gary, look at my picture."  "What is it?" I asked.  Nora said, "It's Missoula."  Haha.  A picture of chaos and confusion.  Wow, I have lots of friends who'd totally agree with your representation of Missoula Nora.  Haha.

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!  Next 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.  :)

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...
