Nora - 03/17/2021

Nora ate two servings of whole wheat toast and ate grapes for breakfast. For lunch she ate pork roast, whole wheat tortillas, carrots, and two servings of fruit salad. (Just a strawberry/mango mix.) Note about Atley: I noticed Atley was kind of pouting after seeing and listening to Avi and Svea when they arrived with St Patty tattoos. Atley said, "I wish I could be cool like you guys!!" :)

First picture: Svea and Nora watched out this window for a long time and were looking into the backyard of the neighbor's house. I asked, "What do you see out there?" Svea said, "A playground." Oh, and what's in the playground? Svea said, "Nothing." LOL! Nora said, "It's Ellie's playground." Yes it is. The little neighbor girl is Eleanor and they call her Ellie.  

Today was a fun day with "Science with Lauralea." The theme today was "rainbows." So many different ways to make rainbows. I'll just give you a brief explanation of the pictures I took and you'll get an idea what we did. Picture: 1. We used a flashlight and water in a glass to create a rainbow on the wall in a dark room. The light from my camera temporarily messed it up, but I like Nora and Svea's eyes. Haha. We also made a rainbow using a flashlight and old CD disc. Picture 2. Black construction paper submerged in warm water, nail polish drop into the water, after a few seconds bring the paper out of the water. The end result is pretty cool and it's getting more cool as the paper dries. I took picture (5) to give you an idea. (Sorry these are out of order!)

Picture 3. We did two different experiments with the kids mixing the "ingredients." They were similar, but I'll list them. When we were done we'd put them in two different jars and they'd separate into a nice rainbows. a.) vegetable oil, corn syrup, food coloring, water, marble, grape, lego, And mix.  Next one - b.) Styling gel, karo syrup, dish soap, olive oil, water, food coloring, alcohol, mix together.  Picture number 4. This was simply some skittles arranged in a circle on a plate with a bit of water and we watched the process. They asked if they could take the skittles home. Haha. No. I heard you all talking about eating lucky charms and chocolate money for breakfast already so that's enough sugar! Haha.

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...
