Mia ate three servings of cinnamon toast and ate melon mix for breakfast.  For lunch she ate half of turkey slices, half of dinner roll, ate green beans, and half of mangoes.  At breakfast she said, "This is my favorite food in the whole world!"  I made her her second serving of cinnamon toast from a whole wheat hamburger bun.  She said, "It's wonderful!  I love it!"  :)  Then at the lunch table Mia said, "I got my sword (waving her fork around) Captain Gary!!"  Which was pretty funny except that led to the next step which involved Cooper; "Let's fight Cooper!!"  Our forks are for eating our food!  Mia exhaled a big sigh; "Ok Gary."  :)  Then after that she called me "Pirate Gary."  I guess I got demoted!

Mia was a little concerned yesterday afternoon when Cooper got picked up early to go get his haircut. First she said, "I'm so proud of Cooper!"  Oh really; what for?  "For coming to your house.  He's not going to the farm again is he!?!"  :)

Here's a picture of Cooper and Mia doing some painting at Art Time.  They also painted the cardboard "bracelets" you can see sitting in the middle of the table.  (We're going to decorate those tomorrow.)  I held them while the kids painted them.  When Cooper finished his picture he said, "I made this for my Mom!"  I totally forgot to put their paint shirts on before this project.  (Did anyone notice that in the picture?)  This paint easily washes out, but thankfully they were actually pretty careful and didn't get much on themselves.  That is not always the case!!  :)

I took this picture of the kids playing because Elliott was laughing so hard.  Cooper is under Mia's blanket and Elliott thought that was the funniest thing ever!  Cooper kept walking towards him making funny sounds and Elliott just laughed harder.  Mia very graciously let them play with her blanket for several minutes before repossessing it!  :)

Mia and Cooper were also "hiding" from Elliott.  Elliott spent most of the time playing at the window so everyone was happy.  Cooper and Mia were also camping again - one of their favorite games to play.  They kept saying, "Build a Campsite, build a campsite."
