Hands!

Last Friday after school I was working out and the girls were watching a show. I was finished with my workout and walked around the corner and saw this.  Quinn was very into her show!

First Dentist Appointment

Quinn had her first dentist appointment a few weeks ago and I wasn't sure how it was going to go.  She had been there earlier in the week and had watched my dental appointment.  To my pleasant surprise Quinn did great!  She sat in the chair, let the hygienist count her teeth, and then even let her polish a few of them!  She did awesome!

Goggles

Quinn was looking through the junk door the other day and found her sisters goggles.  She wanted to wear them and was so excited to put them on.  She walked around the house for awhile wearing these goggles!  We need to get her into swim lessons so she can wear these goggles!

Art Class!

Quinn and I started an Art Class last week!  It is a four week class and is held at a local art and ceramic studio.  The first week they were very unprepared for a bunch of toddlers!  I am hoping next week is better.  Quinn was able to pick out a ceramic piece to paint and then they will glaze it for us!  She had four colors to paint with but she ended up mixing them all together.  She loved it and so did I!

Siri

Quinn was playing with her toy cell phone one morning last week and she was pushing the button and told Siri "Call Nana".  She really wanted to talk to her Nana that morning!

Dinner with Friends

Fred and Freddie came over for dinner last week while Julie was traveling.  Quinn loves her time with Miss Julie and was missing her.  When Fred and Freddie walked in she kept looking for Julie and calling out for her!  So cute!  The kids had dinner first and then we sat down - but Quinn wanted to join us.  She wouldn't leave Fred alone.  And finally he was done and he could play with her!

Apron!

One day last week Quinn and I stayed home all day!  No errands or appointments to run.  It was nice to just be home.  We did lots of activities that day!  Her favorite was the painting.  She also got to wear an apron and she thought that was pretty fun! 

Playtime at the Park!

The weather is taking its sweet time warming up this Spring.  It has been rainy and in the 50's most days.  Quinn and I are still taking advantage of the days that are sunny!  We went to the park last week and we had it almost to ourselves!   She was a little hesitant on the slides.  I had to go down with her on each of the slides and then she would do down on her own.  We had a fun morning!

Fingers

This girl keeps me on my toes!  Last week I noticed her thumb was peeling.  It didn't look bad and I figured it would heal quickly - was I wrong!  A few days later I looked and all of her fingers were starting to peel.  I took her to the doctor and he prescribed a cream and they have healed nicely.  The doctor also wanted to put her on an antibiotic but didn't give me a good reason for it.  She had just been on an antibiotic when she was sick a month ago.  He said to test for strep and if it was negative (which it was) no antibiotic.  So, only a cream to help her fingers heal!  She didn't let her hands bother her from playing and having a good week!

Waiting for the doctor.  

All by Herself!

We had a busy week last week - lots of stuff going on that Quinn was dragged to.  I wanted her to have some fun so we went to an indoor playground.  She ran all over the place and for the first time - all by herself!  I didn't have to climb up and help her, she was all good on her own.  She is getting so big! 

Halfway through playing I called her over and put her hair in a ponytail.  She was so hot and her cheeks were bright red.  She kept right on playing!

Pirate Quinn

The girls love these red bandanas they got at a birthday party.  Ever since the party we have had pirates running around our house!  Quinn wanted Daddy to play pirates one night last week.  It was so cute I had to get a few pics!

Colors

We have been working on colors with Quinn and recently got this puzzle.  She loves it but every color we ask her is green.  Working on it! 

Sunglasses

I realized the first morning at the ranch that I had forgotten Quinn's tennis shoes.  She had worn her cowboy boots to the airport and they looked so cute!   But we knew she would need some tennis shoes to have some fun at the ranch.  So the next morning Reese and I took Quinn to get some tennis shoes.  On the way to the store she found a pair of Mimi's sunglasses in the car.  They fit Quinn just right when she put them on upside down!

Salsa

We went out for Mexican while we were at the ranch and it was a great dinner!  Quinn was loving the chips and salsa.  I think she ate more of the chips and salsa than her dinner.   She did end up spilling salsa all over the floor - oops!  Good thing they brought her out another bowl!

Spring is here!

One day last week after we got Sage from the bus we came home and played outside.  It was a beautiful sunny day in the high 40's.  Both girls were loving it!  They ran around the yard, played on the playset and were so excited to be outside!

Tuesday Morning continued!

Last Tuesday morning all Quinn wanted was to be held.  She was not happy that I had to pack Sage's lunch and make breakfast.  I had to slide a chair into the kitchen so she could sit by the counter as I made Sage's lunch and breakfast.  Quinn decided to not eat that morning.  She was all out of sorts.  We dropped Sage off to the bus and ran to Meijer to get a prescription at the drive thru pharmacy - I surely wasn't crazy enough to bring her into a store that day!  We got home and I brought all my workout stuff upstairs.  I got a workout in and she played on the iPad on the couch.  After my workout, I put a show on for her and I was making my breakfast.  I looked over and she was fast asleep on the couch.  She never falls asleep anywhere but her crib or occasionally the car.  This poor kiddo was not feeling good. 

 

Snoozing & snoring away!

Beads & Cookie Cutters

With Sage being sick and then Quinn being sick we have been spending lots of time at home.  I have had to get creative with activities to keep Quinn occupied.  One day last week I got out some beads to string and some Easter cookie cutters and Quinn made her own activities.  These kept her busy for a long time!

 

This cup was from the Egg Hunt that she had to miss and she loves it!   She first was stringing the beads then decided it was more fun to fill the cup and dump it out!

 Easter cookies cutters are so much fun - especially when they are in a metal bowl and make lots of noise!

She moved from filling the cup with her hands to using the wooden spoon. She was getting good at this!

Car Wash=Scary

This past weekend we ran a few errands to get out of the house.  One of those was to get my car washed.  It was dirty!  Quinn has never liked the car wash and usually cries when we go through it.  There were no tears this time and she only had to hold my hand for just a minute.  She did however grab the doodle-pro and hold that over her face so she didn't have to look if she didn't want to. 

Stuck at Home

Last week Sage was home sick from school - ALL week!  It was a long week for us all.  Quinn got sick on Wednesday as well.  Sage was on three prescriptions and Quinn is on two.  Quinn is slowly getting better.  It wasn't nice enough to be outside yet so we were stuck in the house for over a week.  We were all going crazy!  To give us something to do on St. Patrick's Day we put away all the decorations and put out the Easter decorations.  With those I found a bunch of Easter crafts.  It was nice to have something new to distract the girls. 

 

 This is how we all felt after being stuck inside all week!

She did have fun with the Easter stuff even if she doesn't look like it!

Library Selfie

I love going to Library Time with this girl!  She keeps me on my toes even during our library time.  Quinn is one busy girl!
