Mia ate waffle and had a bite of pears for breakfast.  For lunch she ate bites of tuna, ate crackers, sweet potatoes, and oranges.  At lunch time I was having some coffee so everyone was calling their milk "my coffee!"  :)

Mia was not here yesterday so this was her first day with the toy, book, and puzzle exchange we did this past weekend.  The kids were wearing the masks, although Riley (in the foreground) had just taken off the Grandmother (from Red Riding Hood story) mask.  Mia is wearing the Big Bad Wolf mask and she was getting into character with way too much enthusiasm for Nora's taste!  :)

Here's another picture of Mia playing with some different toys from this set.  (Although she still has the mask on - it's more of a visor now!)  She has food toys in her hands, boots on, and some more food toys stuffed in her pockets!  Actually, in her right hand she has a fork and spoon wrapped in a linen napkin.  Nora told her it was a "napkin" and whenever Mia was explaining what she had she'd look to Nora with the expression; "What'd you say that was again?!?"  And Nora would tell her.  It was really cute.

Outside, the kids were following Riley's lead and took their dump trucks around the edge of the yard finding leaves and long stems of grass and other goodies.  However, Mia and Cooper quickly grew tired of that game and found it much easier and more fun just to grab things out of Riley's dump truck.  Ok kids, find your own goodies!  :)
