out cold

Last night Quinn feel asleep on the couch after insisting he wanted to watch me finish making a Perler Bead taco for him (see previous post). My back has been bugging me so I tried waking him up to go upstairs into his bed, but to no avail... he was totally out cold. So I lugged him upstairs, like a sack of rice, feeling so much heavier then his 43 pounds. All tucked in he slept soundly until about 2 hours later when I went in to shut off his bedroom light. I don't think it was 5 minutes later that I heard him patterring down the hall into our bed. Go figure.

practice makes you faster

Last night Quinn wanted me to do beads with him (Perler beads). It was getting close to bedtime and Quinn had picked out a small but intricate one for me to do. So when I mentioned that I might not be able to finish it before bedtime he comes back to me with "Well that means you need more practice so you get get faster and better at it." Which sounds exactly like what we tell him on days when he complains about his math worksheets taking too long :-)

shush

Allison got up way too early this morning... especially since I went to bed way too late. Here's what went down while I was desperately trying to get 5 (or maybe 30) more minutes of sleep...

Allison: "mom, mom, mom, mom,..." (you get the point)
Me: "Shush!"
Allison (in a whisper now): "mom, mom, mom, mom,..."

Even in my exhausted state, I found it funny since I've never heard her whisper before :-)

To infinity and beyond...

Scott: I can count over 100
Quinn: I can count to infinity
Scott: Then do it
Quinn: It would take me all night
Scott: Oh, ok.

Rollar Skating try #1

Unsuccesfull attempt at roller skating at Caroline's birthday party today. Quinn enthusiastically ran off after Scott and at some point wiped out. His butt and pride were hurt but I went around the rink with him a couple of times. It was like the blind leading the blind, so I'm not sure it was helpful at all.
