A Quinn-ism

Last night, while I was getting Quinn ready for bed, she asked to do a "fruit hunt," which basically means to take turns listing all the fruits we can think of. So we're going about our business:

Me: "Apple"
Quinn: "Orange"
Me: "Blueberry"
Quinn: "Strawberry"
Me: "Boysenberry"
Quinn: "Ha Ha, Boysenberry... Girlsenberry!"

She was SO proud of herself when I busted out laughing! She thought she was just the funniest thing out there, and of course to me, she is! That girl always keeps us on our toes!

The Meaning Behind the Words

Our un-affectionately nick-named neighbors are dubbed the Thundering Herd. I've never heard people so loud in my entire life, and I've lived in condo/apartment settings in the past. On top of their running and thumping throughout their condo above us, they are also making home improvements on their floors (maybe their soundproofing? One can only hope...)

Anyway, on Saturday, Quinn and I were sitting at the dining room table eating lunch and forgive me for starting this inappropriate conversation, but it is just too funny not to post. The neighbors were doing some serious drilling and there was one particularly loud noise of something being screwed securely into place. The following short, but hilarious, conversation ensued...

Loud Noise
Me: "Quinn, did you just foof? (our word for passing gas)"
Quinn (and I kid you not, with her finger point toward our ceiling: "No Mommy, the neighbors are screwing upstairs!"

Need I even say more?

Neverending Snow

We've spent considerable time out in the "Snowstorm of 2010." We introduced Quinn to sledding this winter, which has been a blast with all this snow. We created a "luge" in our backyard - this video was taken after our first dump, when the weather was actually calm. Just SO funny!



We are now into our third day of being off work. It's snowing like crazy outside! This snow is breaking records all over the place. Quinn doesn't care anything about that, she's just enjoying being out in this Winter Wonderland!
