Miles ate blueberry bagel and three large servings of grapes for breakfast. For lunch he ate shrimp, brown rice covered in berry juice, two servings of broccoli, and two servings of mixed berries. All 6 kids LOVED the "Candy Snap" grapes from Costco. They - with me having a few handfuls - ate a 3 pound container of grapes for breakfast!!! :) Those grapes are SO sweet!

On these hot days I always close the blinds and curtains when the sun starts shining onto the west side of the house. Usually around 4:00. Yesterday Miles asked, "Why are you doing that Gary?" Me: "To keep the sun out." Miles; "I love that game." Haha. 

This first picture is left over from yesterday afternoon and the boys were double-fisting the tools. They look like they're staying busy with their project!! Second picture also from yesterday; Avi is monitoring and helping the boys while they are counting to 20 for Hide-n-seek. Haha. They seem to be distracted with their flashlights. Third picture: There is some serious negotiation going on here. They were preparing to jump and two important decisions needed to be made. Are we jumping forward or backward? And who's going first?  :)

Next picture: Towel Fights again!! They've been doing this a lot lately and having a blast. Nora went out there and took away Miles' blanket and thought she needed to intervene. Haha. It was hard not to laugh at her! It's ok Nora, I'm in charge and they're just having fun. So Mama Bear Nora backed off and went to do some more Art. Last picture; Field Trip! Haha. The boys and I went above the garage looking for something Avilene wanted. They also rode bikes and played at the sand table.

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...
