Mia ate two servings of waffle and ate hash browns for breakfast.  For lunch she ate most of cheese and chicken quesadilla, ate a large serving of carrots, and a large serving of oranges.  At the breakfast table something must have reminded Cooper of halloween because he started talking about it.  I said, "what? - can you tell me more about it?"  (Trying to figure out what he was talking about!)  So he thought for several seconds and said, "bats - ghosts."  Ha ha ha.  Mia jumps at that and said, "I had halloween too - I get candy!!"  Then a moment later she said, "It's NOT halloween now!  It's halloween AND Christmas!!"  Ha ha ha!!  Love these guys!!

Mia yelled to alert me that I needed to take care of Cooper's nose!  "Gary!!  Cooper's nose run!!  Will you fix it!?!"  They were playing in the igloo and so I ask Cooper if he needed me to wipe his nose; "No, I'm good!"  :)

If you've followed these blogs for any length of time you know the hole in the center of the table in this picture has provided the kids (for lots of years) with an endless amount of entertainment.  Today they were playing with the food toys and taking turns dropping "hot dogs" on top of each other.  When Mia was on the floor she said, "Put your eye in there!!"  :)

Cooper enjoys doing "animal play" with Mia and it's a good thing because I think she could play "pretend animals" all day long!  (That's her "default setting!"  When boredom sets in, just be an animal!)  She's usually a puppy, horse, or wolf!  Today she was bringing bones to her Cooper puppy.

At Story Time the picture in the book showed three bears walking in the snow and Mia said, "Bear Prints!" while pointing to their footprints.  I was impressed!  Nice observation Mia!  Cooper said, "No!  Dinosaur prints!!"  LOL  Uhhhh, no Mia got it right; those are bear prints.
