Miles ate bran cereal and raisins for breakfast. For lunch he ate chicken with avocado on top, no toasted whole wheat sandwich thins, and ate two servings of mandarin oranges. 

First thing on a Monday morning the kids are frequently dealing with a "Weekend Hangover" and jostling about to see who's the big dog. I'm being slightly silly, but there really is a weekly reestablishing of the "pecking order" and they're frequently testy with each other. (I'm speaking about 25 years of observation!) First picture: Cal had been reading the book you see on the floor in front of Miles. (It all looks so innocent in the picture.) And Cal appears to be moving on to something else. HOWEVER, the moment Miles bent over to pick up that book Cal pounced on Miles like Miles was stealing it from his hand. Geez kids! Relax, there's enough books and toys for everyone!! :)

Next picture: Callahan had asked me to have Alexa play "Baby Shark" next. You can see Cal is doing the motions and Miles was giving it a shot as well. Miles had been pounding his fists together, but started clapping by the time I took the picture. Miles is actually having more fun watching himself in the mirror than trying to do the "baby shark" motions. Ha. 

Last picture: So if you've read Nora's Blog you saw a picture of her "skiing" with the blocks. Miles and Cal watched and gave it a try too. So here is a picture of Miles' attempt! And this is one of the reasons Boys have more scrapes and bruises than girls. Some of the neurons just don't fire cleanly!! Why NOT ski off a step on your first attempt!?! Seems like the thing to do! Haha. I are one of those guys so I speak with experience. :)

Miles ate waffle and three large servings of grapes - LOVE those Candy Snaps - for breakfast. For lunch he ate bite of his chicken, bites of whole wheat tortillas, bites of corn, and ate apple pieces.  Miles was pretty clingy to Daddy this morning and after Ryan left I told Miles; "Good job not crying." Miles said, "At Grandma Pam's?" Haha. Sure, at Grandma Pam's. Then he was telling me something about "puking" and I basically never figured it out except for this; "I got watermelon puke." Haha. Ok, whatever. First picture: Well did you notice Miles in this picture? Haha. He's laying on the couch, but I wanted to show you what he frequently does after arrival when he's a bit "bent out of shape." He wasn't crying or super upset, he just didn't like the transition. (He was playing with his truck and one of my tractors.) He likes to be alone and just regroup before starting his day. Side Note: This might be good info...

Miles ate whole wheat toast and three large servings of candy grapes. For lunch he ate bites of pork roast, bites of whole wheat tortillas, ate half of his carrots, and three large servings of fruit salad. Random notes:  Miles asked, "Did the thunder come to your house?" Yup. "Was it loud?" Yup. "Why?" Haha. I was snuggling Nora on the couch and Miles was listening to what I said to Nora. "Nora, You've always been my girl! You're so very sweet." Miles said, "I miss my Mom." LOL!! That hit my funny bone and I laughed so hard. Miles started laughing when he saw my reaction. So cute and sweet. I love how kids frequently arrange their words! On our way to Cold Springs Playground Nora started taking about Big Willy again as we passed his house. "I can't believe he died." Yes that was sad for me too! She said, "Did they bury him up ?" "Put him into ashes?" "Or in the sea?" So precious. Firs...

Miles ate three large servings of French toast covered with three large servings of strawberries for breakfast. For lunch he ate pork roast, saltines, half of his carrots, and ate his fruit salad. Right after breakfast Miles said, "Outside? Outside? Outside?" Cal said, "Well it's too foggy." Haha. "We'll go outside after Snack today Miles just like we did yesterday." So here is a picture from yesterday afternoon. The snow is pretty frozen underneath the new couple of inches we got. It makes for hard walking across the snow, but it was pretty entertaining to watch!! Especially when the boys also tried to push dump trucks across it as well. Miles gave up on that and just laid down on the path to the garage. :) Next picture: This picture from this morning reminds me of yesterday afternoon when the boys awoke from their naps and wanted to do some puzzles. As they were working Cal said, "Hey Gary! Miles did not yell at me when I was doing the puzzl...
