Christmas Fun, Round 2

Raul continued to cause mischief.

More Christmas crafts.

Gingerbread House contest with the Carlson's at Ali and McKay's house.  

The candy windows at Macy's and the lights at Temple Square.  Highlights- Quinn yelling, "where the hell are you guys going?" at my mom and me at Temple Square.  And me leaving the car running, yes running, the entire time in the parking garage while we were downtown.

Random hair photos

Quinn- Catch Up

Quinn has been so damn funny lately.  She constantly has us all laughing. 

1.  I am not sad that it's bedtime. Just disappointed. 

2.  Q- I am going to pull down your pants. 

Me- Quinn, that's not appropriate.  

Q- It sure is appropriate. 

3.  Me- Piper!  Stop it!  (She was licking the carpet.)

Q- What is she doing? 

Me- Being annoying. 

Q- I am annoying. 

Me- No you're not. You don't lick the carpet. 

Q- (licks me). I am annoying too. 

4.  Quinn's morning pep talk, "I cried at preschool..... But I am going back for another day! I made myself cry! Ali drops me off and dad picks me up. I will tell him no more crying."

5.  Quinn- Mom! Stop talking! You aren't funny. 

(I stop talking.)

Mom!

Mom!

Mom! 

Me- what?

Quinn- I want you to stop talking!

And now for some photos.

At the U of U gymnastics meet. 

Playing games with her latex gloves on. 

Quinn loves selfies. Me too. 

Snoozing with Dad.  

Celebrating the Chinese New Year. 

More selfies. 

More snoozing. 

Favorite Quinn Stories (from this week, anyway)

Ali has been helping out with preschool drop off some morning.  I dropped Quinn off there the other morning.  Ali had just gotten out of the shower, and was wearing sweatpants and a full coverage tank top. 

Quinn-  Ali!  Why are you all nakedy. 

Ali- I am not. 

Quinn- I can see your boobs! 

Ali- No, you can't. I am wearing a tank top. 

Quinn- Oh, yous in yous swimsuit.  

Apparently, we are raising a little Puritan. 

Dalan picked up Quinn from preschool, and she noticed the flag was not out that day. 

Quinn- The flag is missing. 

Dalan- Yep. 

Quinn- Where did it go? 

Dalan- I don't know. 

Quinn- Maybe Mega-Mort took it.  (Her favorite bad guy.) 

Dalan- Maybe. 

Quinn- We should go ask mom if she knows. 

Last night Quinn was sitting on her knees watching videos at my parents' house. Then it was time to eat dinner. 

Quinn- Mom!  My foot it is all itchy and sparkly. 

Me- Huh? Oh, I think your foot feel asleep.

Quinn- It is all itchy and sparkly. 

And tonight... 

Us- Quinn, what do you want to do tomorrow?

Quinn- Go to the zoo. 

Us- It is too cold. 

Quinn-  Maybe Cole could take me... And Mike.  

(Quinn went to work with Cole on Monday, and met his co-worker, Mike. She is semi-convinced he might be Mike from Monsters Inc.). 

Funnies

1.  Quinn had her biannual eye appointment on Friday.  On their way into the hospital, Quinn was so excited that she was going to get an exam, a shot, and got to go into building 3.  She would not let Dalan convince her otherwise about the shot. She was just sure she was going to get one. 

When they made it up to the receptionist, Quinn said, "I'm Quinn Sellers and this is my dad."  

Then the first guy came to test her vision, she reintroduced herself and Dalan again. She also asked for a shot. They were testing her vision using pictures, like a house or a dog inside of an octagon. However, Quinn would only tell them each new picture was an octagon. They had to find a different set to test her. 

When the doctor came in to do the next part of the exam, Quinn asked for a shot again. The doctor ASSURED her there would be no shots this visit. Quinn, to the doctor's surprise, was very disappointed. 

Quinn's eyes were fine by the way, and we will return in May for her next check up. 

2.  This morning, I pulled up to Dalan's mom's house. 

Quinn was so excited to see Alice. 

"I say I don't think she is here yet. You are the first."

Quinn says, "I am not Sofia."
