the value of money
I thought we were doing a better job at teaching Quinn the value of money and that it doesn't always just magically appear. He now has various ways of earning money and most often is required to use his own money if he wants to purchase something. Today's conversation makes me question if maybe we are paying out a little too generously?
Quinn: "We need to buy Kyle Disney Silly Bands. He wants some."
Me: "Sure, if you want to buy them with your money."
Quinn: "How much are they?"
Me: "$5"
Quinn: "WHAT? Five dollars? That's SO EASY? Just five dollars? Really?!?"
*Note*: If you don't know what Silly Bands are consider yourself lucky :-)

sick and loving it
Allison has been running pretty high fevers for the last 2 days/nights. She isn't really acting too sick, in fact she seems to be relishing all the attention. Last night she ended up in our bed for most of the night and took turns sleeping on Jason and then me. This morning Quinn came in looking for some cuddles and she threw a major fit. She didn't want him on the bed or anywhere near us. She's a jealous little thing.

our little charmer
You know when Allison is about to do something wrong... she turns and gives you this huge, charming smile - complete with batting of the eyelashes.
... oh my are we in trouble!

who loves you?
I think this is so funny:
Me to Allison: "Who loves you?"
Allison: "Me!"
Me: "Who else loves you?"
Allison: "Mommy!" (followed by Daddy then Quinn).
It's always the same. I guess she feels she loves herself the most. I suppose that's a good thing?

my 6 year old teenager
I recently bought Quinn this video recorder that can also play mp3's. He had a lot of fun making videos while he waited for us to get some music uploaded. Since then he's been inseparable from it. You can find him just hanging out on the couch listening to "his" music and of course whenever we are in the car. On the way out of the pool yesterday he was singing and bopping along to it (quite loudly). It was so cute but also seemed to be a peak into the not so distant future when we would be tuned out more then we are tuned in.

booking
Allison has a least 20 books gathered around her. When I asked her what she was doing she replied "booking". Maybe that should be a new word for pre-readers :-)

lego builder
Quinn declared today that he is going to be a lego builder when he grows up. I thought that was pretty cool since that is also what I wanted to be when I was younger. When I explained to him that lego architects have to live in Germany. He told me he is going to make a new job then. He will work at a lego store by my house and people can pay him to build their legos for them. It's for dads or kids who don't like to do the building. He will even design special things if they ask him to.
