Nora - 01/21/2021

Nora ate two servings of blueberry bagel and three servings of peaches for breakfast.  For lunch she ate a large serving of hamburger & sausage pizza with meats, peppers, pineapple, olives, mushrooms, and tomato sauce.  She had ate whole wheat pizza crust we serve on the side, and ate two servings of pineapple on the side too.  

Nora showed her true "Mamma Bear" colors this morning defending brother Miles.  I looked around the corner and Nora had her finger right in Cal's face and was giving him the business!!  (Miles was NOT crying.)  What are you doing Nora? She said, "I think Cal hit him!"  Well you did not see it happen, I did NOT see it happen, so we'll just leave it at that.  This is not the first time she's just made an assumption and she comes out with barrels blazing!!  Hahaha.  

So today was "Science with Lauralea" and the theme was "Fire."  Today was observation only; nothing to touch and nothing to eat!!  And (most disappointing of all) nothing to take home!!  Next week is "Cooking with Lauralea" so I bet there will be something to take home!!  We strongly and loudly emphasized over and over that fire is dangerous and nothing to play with and they all had big eyes and were in total agreement!!  :)  The first experiment was a dud!  Vampire Fire with hydrogen peroxide and raw hamburger.  (Except the meat did basically (eventually) turn to liquid, but that wasn't the experiment.)  First picture: This was step 2 of this experiment and we robbed the fire of oxygen with the glass and the flame went out in 10 seconds.  Following picture:  Third step of the same experiment and the fuel (in this case the candle) ran out in 11 minutes.  Third picture:  This had the best visuals which made it the favorite.  Lauralea doused a piece of cloth with 4 tablespoons of water and 4 tablespoons of rubbing alcohol.  We watched the fire burn the alcohol, but really did not damage the cloth at all because it was doused in water.  

Last picture:  After "Science with Lauralea" Svea sat with Nora on the couch and kept asking Alexa to "tell us a spooky story."  You can see Nora has her left arm around Svea.  So cute.  Svea said, "Alexa, this story is not really spooky."  Haha.  Callahan kept walking around saying, "Alexa!!  Alexa!!  Pooky Tory! Pooky Tory!!"

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...
