Movie Game

Good work Natalie - that last one was The Breakup. The first time I saw it I didn't like it - well, I didn't like the ending. After watching it several more times I've changed my mind - still don't like the ending but I do like the show.

Here's the next one:

"You don't like raisins?"
"Not really."
"Why?"
"They used to be fat and juicy, but now they're twisted, they had their lives stolen. Well they taste sweet, but really they're just humiliated grapes. I can't say I'm a big supporter of the raisin council."
"Did you see those raisins on TV, the ones that sing and dance and stuff?"
"They scare me."
"Yea, me too."
"It's sick, the commercial people, they make them sing and dance so people will eat them."
"It's a shame about raisins."
"Cannibals"
"Yea, do you like avacodos?"
"They're a fruit you know."

Movie Game - A New Hint

Okay, there have been no guesses on this round of the movie game, and that's fun because now I get to give a new hint. So, this is another line from the same movie as I used in the last movie game post:

"Gary! Gary. You got three lemons."
"What my baby wants my baby gets, you know that."
"Ah, ah...yea but I wanted twelve. Baby wanted twelve."
"Why would you want twelve lemons?"
"Because I"m making a twelve lemon center peice."
"So no one's actually even eating them? They're show lemons?"
"Yea. They're just show lemons. Shown in the center of the table - glad you find that amusing, but I cannot fill a vase with only three lemons."
"Well can't you just use like, maybe a drinking glass?"
"I'm not using a drinking glass!"
"We could have a smaller version of the center piece."
"I'm not using a drinking glass for our center piece."
"You know what, I"ve got an idea. Why don't we go ahead and scratch the center piece idea altogether, because the chicken, that burnt my mouth, could maybe use a little bit of lemon on top of it. Guess what? Now we made a better meal versus something visually nice to look at."

Tricked by a Toddler

As I typed the title I started to wonder - is Quincy still a toddler, or would she now be considered a child? When I hear the word toddler I think of someone who's not very steady on their feet - and she is quiet stable. When do they graduate to childhood?

Anyway, she pulled a fast one on me this morning. We were eating our breakfast, cereal. She was feeding herself while I was feeding me and Max. She got towards the bottom where the cereal thins out in the milk and said:

"Mom, can you help me?"

"No, you're a big girl, and I'm feeding Max, you can do it."

She looked at the bowl for a moment before announcing:

"I'm done!"

"No you're not" I said, as I grabbed the bowl and began scooping together the last of the Cocoa Pebbles to feed to her - that's when I realized, I was just tricked by a toddchild.

A Sigh of Relief

I was just preparing to write a substantial post, when I heard a three year old say "mom, do you want to snuddle with me, huh? Come on, come on. Mom, you're my best friend." Who can keep that waiting? Anyway, I wanted to let everyone know that Max had his MRI today, and everything is fine! He does have a little extra cerebral spinal fluid in his head, but no blood. There seems to be no structural imperfections or problems - so he is just a big headed little kid - which of course means he's going to be a genius. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers - they mean alot to us.

Movie Game

On a lighter note than my last post - it's probably time for another line. I was surprised that Fried Green Tomatoes went so quickly - good work Pattie. Here's one from what I'm watching now:

"Gary! You don't take a pitch pipe out of a guys hand when he's in the middle of a very funky groove! You could get hurt doing something like that."

Max

It's been a long night and I should be asleep right now, but rest won't come - I am sick with worry. It's been a long week. On Tuesday I took Max in for his six month checkup, I had no idea that it would lead to anything out of the ordinary. Max has always been at the top of his growth charts, above the 90th percentile. He's my sturdy little guy. His pediatrician has commented before on the large size of his head, but Quincy has a big head too. On Tuesday she said that she would like him to get a CT scan - his head had jumped way up and was above the 95th percentile now. I tried not to worry that my 6 month old was having to get something like that. I kept telling myelf - and everyone kept telling me too, that I'm sure there's nothing wrong - he acts perfectly normal. Besides - he comes from a family of big heads - in some cases literally, in some cases figuratively, and in some cases both. He got the scan on Wednesday. Yesterday morning, Thursday, I took the kids to story time at the library. By the time I got out I had four phone messages from the doctor. My heart sunk - they don't leave you four messages in one hour just to tell you that everything is ok. When I got the messages I was on my way to Wal-Mart to get something special to cook for Valentines Day dinner - steak and shrimp. I pulled over in the Pancake City parking lot to call the doctor. She told me that there is an area of fluid - probably blood, in the front left
area of his head. She tried to get me to think of any kind of hit he may have taken - I can't recall any. She told me that she had called a neurosurgeon in Columbia and arranged for us to see him today - Friday. I tried to find out what she thought was the problem, what would be the solution, what to expect - she really couldn't say. I tried to get her to tell me that everything would be okay, she couldn't say. I spent the rest of the day feeling numb - you tell yourself that everything is ok, but 6 month old baby's shouldn't be seeing neurosurgeons. I scrapped the sugar cookie valentines we were going to make, and the dinner, and spent the afternoon holding my boy while Quincy watched "Cars." Thanks Melissa for the great meal, and for watching Quincy while we take him to the hospital. I'm lucky to have good friends who are so willing to help. Keep Max in your prayers today. He's the sweetest little guy, and my heart is breaking.

Welcome to The Table, Little Man

Max is officially eating three meals a day with us. Today he had his first lunch, which coincided with his first taste of squash. His reaction says it all.

Fingobanna, Libpotina, and Mike Wazowski

Quincy is quite the character. She's started saying two words, and we have no idea what they mean - fingobanna and libpotina. I thought maybe my brothers had taught her some spanish - but they don't seem to know what she's saying. Has anyone ever heard these words?

Today when she was helping me unload the dishwasher, she grabbed a small glass bowl and put it to her face and said "it's under the name googly bear." That's a line off Monsters Inc., Sully says it while Mike is putting his one giant contact in his eye. I thought it was pretty funny that she thought this bowl was the giant contact.

You're" Esme Cullen - Your maternal instinct to take care of people and be kind draw people towards you. You're compassionate and loving, yet firm when you need to be. You appreciate hard work and value the beautiful results of your dedication to any project.

Movie Game

Good Job on winning the last one Nashelle, I love Runaway Bride.

This is my last night at home, well, my Utah home. I'm so sad that my little/long visit is about over. Here's the line from the movie my sisters and I are watching right now - I suspect that this one may be a little harder, because it's from a movie that's a little older. I'll put in the name as a little hint:



"Mrs. Threadgood, you're the reason I get up in the morning!

And, the reason Mary Kay's having such a good year!

And, the reason why I don't look like some......blob, from a horror movie!"





Good Luck!
