I have gotten SO BEHIND on this blog. Finally just finished up 2018 posts (in March!) and realized that I have not posted any of the funny things these girls say. I have a list on my phone and I'll do my best to translate them here -- some of these are so old that I don't remember why they were funny at the time!

• Q laughs hysterically when someone sneezes
• Oh the physical comedy gets Quinn every time. She thinks it is SO FUNNY when E pretends to slam her hand in a drawer or bonk her head or something like that.
• Q says bonk and show -- yes, before she was the chatterbox that she is now, she had very few words and one of them was "show." Third child definitely has more relaxed screen time rules.
• "I wan come wif you baffroom." Yup, I get very little alone time. 
• "Tee too mommy." That's Thank You
• "Mommy I ride bikes at home. I seep now in car." And then she fell asleep. HA.
• Q picked up Elliott’s book light and said “call Jason Moens. Peez. NOW!” 
• I was getting dressed for the gym and a little inquiring mind asked: "You wear your yoga boobs?"
• You take shower? Next day? You pay wiff me? 
• She calls Jason "Jason Dad" 
• Bana-nee-nah is Ballerina 
• Wah-wah-moo-on is Watermelon
• "Go back dad! The middle!" (Song on the radio) 
• She was a BABY just a minute ago! Now she's got pigtails and opinions.
• She gets into trouble when she finds mommy's Yip-stip (lipstick) 
• "I not a baby Tinn. Big Girl Tinn."
• “I’m fine” is “no” when I ask her if she wants or needs something. 
• "Mommy yuff me. Daddy yuff me. Ta-yee yuff me. Eh-ee-uht yuff me." 
• Q is famous for yawning and then immediately saying “I not tired!” 
• She looooves to sing: Tinkle tinkle little tar!!! Amorrow! Amorrow! I luff ya! Maybe far aWAAAAAY? And maybe far awaaaaaaay ... 
• She has a new friend "Kaff-winn" at the gym. They love to sing for the other kids.
• Talie told me this fall that the weather was SOGGY (foggy). It was an accurate description.
• T has a one track mind. We were reading one night and she said: "can I ask a question about the book? When can we get a dog?" 
• T asked for a hammer for her birfday.  
• Until recently, T called Barbies bubbies 
• Oh she is so sweet. Talie wished for life to stay the same forever. She would gladly never go anywhere and just stay home playing and snuggling. 
• She told the pediatrician that she's not all the way six yet. Not until her birthday PARTY. Stay tuned for those pictures -- we finally had her party in January!

California Tour

We headed to Palo Alto and Livermore to visit friends and get a giant dose of sunshine. It was exhausting but so fun to have so many friends around.

Teary goodbyes with Maya.

These two won't admit it, but they were thrilled to be reunited. Coop spent a full 8 hours with us and he and Elliott chatterboxed the entire time.

Quinn desperately wants to be a big kid.

Tweens.

We had a little house and some leftovers from the Tahoe kitchen -- we stretched everything out to be breakfast and snacks for a few days without having to stock the whole kitchen.

He immediately gave the staff all raises. Hee hee.

SUSHI FRIDAY

Night swimming

"Put. Me. To. Bed."

Oldschool lemonade stand fun

Matchy Matchy

Matt commutes on this thing. Andrew (amazingly) didn't break an arm.

Carload of crazies

So much for doing laundry and coming home with clean clothes. Apparently there were several crayons in Talie's pocket. UGH!!!

Love my new mug with the #IbeatBrad photo!

Snow Angels one day, sand angels the next!

Spooky movie night?

Happy New Year!

Tahoe

We had an AMAZING week in Tahoe. Baby Sage is a LOVE and our big girls love to ski. Packing for a week of skiing, AND Christmas, AND warm San Fran was ... a challenge (especially when we have no power on the morning we are leaving! Luckily I had done most of the packing in advance and a friend was able to swing by to run the dishwasher after we left) ... but it was worth it.

Dance Party in the snow

Everyone loves vacation mom -- she gives out lollipops.
