Mia ate half of her oatmeal and ate dried cranberries for breakfast.  For lunch she ate half of her ground beef, a large serving of elbow noodles with peas topped with shredded cheese, and ate applesauce.  The noodle mix is one of her favorites; judging by the amount she eats and the intensity of the process!  :)

This picture was taken yesterday afternoon.  We hadn't played in the sand for quite awhile and they had a lot of fun.  They were all engaged for at least 45 minutes.  Cooper just about had the fence tore apart trying to get in there!  So my job was distracting him.  Good luck with that!  :)

Riley was making Mia laugh and Mia was saying, "Look at Riley!"  After being silly with the food toys Riley was banging her head against the back of the chair over and over.  And of course Mia thought that was some more great entertainment!  :)

Those two also played with the dolls and the little play houses.  They were peeking through the windows at each other and Mia was yelling, "Hello Riley, hello Riley..."

For art time we painted using some popsicle sticks; just for something different.  They experimented with them and after one stick would get real messy they'd get a clean one.   Then we went outside and Riley and Mia took turns giving each other rides in the wagon.  They also watched the garbage men working and the kids playing across the street.

Darcy, when you drove by this morning Mia said, "Mommy go home!"  I told her you were going to work.  Then probably an hour later, again she said, "Mommy home!"  And again I said you were at work!  She said, "Work?"  (In the form of a question.)  And the way she said it was like it was a foreign concept she'd never heard of.  Cracked me up!  :)
