A Ton of Randomness

OK, I haven't blogged for about a week, and it seems like I have tons of stuff I want to get out there. First of All, for you Laura, pictures of the kids.

I love Max's hair that's starting to grow. He had about 10 on the very back of his head that were like two inches long, so he had his first haircut last week, to get rid of those. This picture is Just Call Me Spike!


Here Quincy is dressed up to go on a walk. I love her little glasses, I'm trying to forget that someone (Laura) said they make her look special. Her coat is so bulgy because she had to take her newest stuffed animal, "Little Fella" (she picks the names, not us) along with her, and she thought that in her coat was just the place for him. Now she sleeps with Lickers, Levi, Shrek Baby, and Little Fella every night.


Over Christmas break we took Quincy to see a couple movies. First, The Chipmunks - she sat through the whole thing and really liked it. Then, National Treasure. We should have known better. I spent the last quarter of it in the "arcade" with her. It took me all of two tries to learn how to conquer one of the games and win 220 tickets at a time. Among the other useless trinkets that Quincy won with her tickets is this pink slime. She was playing with it a couple days ago and I came back to find that she had plugged her ears and her nose with it. She loves that arcade now, she keeps asking to go back for more tickets. I took her once more and she came back with two more pots of slime.







I heard before that God "video records" your life, and when you die you'll get to watch it. There are so many parts with Quincy that I think I am going to want to watch over and over again. Last night when she was in the tub the following conversation took place:
"Mom, do you believe on Santa?"
"Yep"
"Does Max believe on Santa?"
"Yep, do you?"
"I do sometimes, but sometimes I do not. I don't believe on him when I am jumping on a trampoline, or when you have to cook dinner. Those are the times I do not believe on him."

Here's a little video from her dance class. I don't have a recorder, so I just did this with my digital camera. Sorry, I don't know how to rotate it, so for most of it you need to either put your head on side-ways, or turn your monitor sideways. For those of you who truly love the girl it will be worth it. As you will see, Quinn doesn't pay attention very well or do what the class is doing but she still has alot of fun. Isn't her teacher Miss Jodie a great Twister? This video does have sound, so to turn off my tunes go to the music player on the right-hand side of this page and pause it.




Max is the cutest little guy ever. I've nicknamed him The Hummingbird. There are the obvious physical similarities - the boy is the epitome of light and lean (yea, right), but he's also a really great hummer. Sometimes while he's eating he hums for 20 minutes straight. On Sunday he was doing that in the "nursing mothers" room - the other baby and mother that were in there at the moment didn't make a peep, and here is my boy loudly letting everyone know of his enjoyment of the meal.

Finally, my movie game. Nobody knew that the line "I once dated a girl with a club foot, I mean she had the big shoe and everything" came from Return To Me. The movie I have in mind now is probably THE BEST Chick Flick of ALL TIME. I'm going to give a line, and if nobody guesses I'll give another one in a few days. This one has to be popular enough for someone to get. So, the first clue is:
"I'm not depressed! I just happen to have been in a VERY BAD MOOD FOR THE LAST FORTY YEARS!"

First- the movie game answer is "Steel Magnolias."

You're right, it is Steel Magnolias. I love that line - Wheeza is the best, who can't relate to her every now and then?

As for the video - I love that you're in it Jodie!
