Disney on Ice

Last weekend we went to Disney on Ice with some of the kids from Quin's class. Actually, the girls and Quin. It was actually pretty good. A couple of fun notes:

• While the girls were oohing and ahhing about the performance and singing and dancing with the music, Quin was busy asking me questions like, "How do the characters talk?" and "How do they get up there?," " How do they fly in the air like that?" At times, even came up with logical answers to these questions himself.


• Quin is a cheap date. Really, this wasn't just for this event. It is kind of funny, he never wants to go out to eat, he doesn't want a lot of things. So, at the show, you are inundated with Disney everything. All of the kids wanted the snow cones in the special cups and the popcorn in the Disney box, etc. Not Quin. He just wanted a bottle of water and the Peter Pan sword. Not the sword that lit up (which was more expensive), but the plain, Peter Pan sword that was less expensive. You gotta love that!

Let's Bowl, Let's Bowl, Let's Rock and Roll

The title will only make sense if you have seen Grease 2. Not the most stellar movie, but entertaining music.

Jadyn's 5th birthday party was at the bowling party and Quin was very excited. This is at the same place that Quin's party will be in a few short weeks. Here are a couple of pictures from the fun.

Girlfriends

After school every day, I ask Quin about his day, what he did, etc. He is use to this question, so I am starting to get a canned answer like, "We had circle time, I worked on my workbook, we went outside, I ate lunch, took a nap, and then played." However, one day this past week, Quin said (in addition to the usual description), "I have two girlfriends now." I said to him, "Really? Who are your girlfriends?" He replied, "Lauren and Avery." I said, "How did you get these girlfriends?" He said, "They asked me." So, that is that. (I guess I should mention this isn't a first for Quin. He said the Jadyn was his girlfriend when he was 2.)

We had a couple of disposable cameras at the house that had been used by Quin. We took them in and had the pictures put on CD and was amused to see that Quin had taken a picture of Lauren and Avery on Valentine's Day. Here is that picture. I haven't asked Quin again if they are still his girlfriends. I will have to check in with him and see.

I am on a roll...

Okay, so today I have been productive with the blog. I would suggest spreading out your viewing of the entries though, it may take me another month and a half to add anything else...

Royals FanFest

It is almost baseball time. The Royals started hosted a FanFest before baseball season starts and this is the second year. So, Dad and Grandpa took Quin to check it out. They reported that it was very crowded, but Quin had fun anyway. For those of you who have seen the picture of Quin with Donald Duck's rear (if you haven't I have added here), I was amused to see that we know have a similar shot of Quin with Sluggerrr. Not sure what this means but Quin has a knack for getting a good view of characters' rears.

Hockey

Quin is still liking the hockey lessons. He and one other kid are the smallest in the class by at least a head, but he is a trooper. His previous lessons were much more "kid" oriented with games, bubbles, stickers at the end. These lessons are instructed by a hockey player and they consist with drill after drill, so I am impressed that he has stuck with it and continues to enjoy them even though they are hard.

Christmas Party at School

Okay, so I am a total slacker with this blog thing. I set up the blog over Christmas break to never come back again. So, I am giving it another shot. I am finally uploading some of the Christmas pics and videos. I thought I would share a couple of videos from Quin's Christmas party at school. Due to bad weather, the Christmas program was canceled, so the class did a "version" of their songs at the party while some of the parents were there. Pay special attention to the first video where Quin and his friend Evan are fighting at the beginning of the song, kind of humorous.
