Morgan ate seconds on cinnamon roll and all of her prunes at breakfast.  At lunch she ate all of her cantaloupe and waffles and some of both her hashbrowns and her scrambled eggs. 

Morgan wanted to cuddle and read books until I had to help one of the babies come in this morning (about 15 minutes).  She had a major melt-down this morning over Kenzie not giving her the plate the Morgan wanted (when Kenzie was the one originally playing with it).  It escalated quickly and intensely.  She was kicking, scratching and flailing like crazy and ended up with some battle scars.  Gary was the one who dealt with her so he can give you more details that I can. She was asleep almost immediately at nap time, so I am assuming this episode was primarily triggered by a short fuse due to sleep issues. 

Several of the kiddos were playing at the little picnic table with the food stuff Morgan kept requesting different kinds of foods, but mostly "peppers" and "Popsicles". The popcicles were really the pretend shish-kabobs.  They played there for 15 or so minutes. 

Kenzie and Morgan were also being engineers.  Both of them has some costume issues though.  Kenzie was a little confused about the engineer cap -- determined that the adjustment band was an under the chin strap so that it ended up looking more like a bonnet that an engineer's cap.  Morgan tried to help her, but Kenzie would have nothing of that.  Morgan, on the other hand was wearing the engineer hat just right (if inside out), but had on the postal person vest with it.  Hey, you have to be creative with limited props!  : )
