Q was SO excited to learn that all these travel brochures and real estate catalogs at a garden state parkway rest area were FREE. he selected a number of gems to read in the car.

Q, sweetly, out of the blue: " i love you so much mommy. you make me have hearts in my eyes."

end of an era

goodbye, goddard school.  hello kindergarten.  and more money in my pocket.

share day

frozen style

it's really happening

pickle got her kindergarten teacher assignment. afternoon kindergarten with mrs. applegate. Q says she's nice.

the cold never bothered them anyway

too much shark week

Q (out of the blue): "what happened to all the megladons?"

in living color

play ball. or don't.

caroline was selected to be the "play ball kid" at the wilmington blue rocks game tonight. she was very excited and practiced saying it very loud.

leading up to it, she bounced all over the field. then the dude put the microphone in her face and she went into stubborn pickle (i.e. becky) mode and refused to say it.

the players mocked her. which was fun. because i wanted to but didn't think that would win me any mommy awards.

maybe next time.

old school

caroline's school did vintage photos this week

anxiety

Q's anxiety level is high again. he is currently very concerned about armageddon, mothers dying during childbirth, and, after seeing a sarah mclachlan commercial, abused puppies.

cool dude

age

quentin is borderline obsessed with age - who is older than who, how old dead people are, if he will always be older than caroline, etc.

he cracks me up, because in his mind, there are three levels of old:

1. mimi, who didn't have electricity as a child

2. dr. seuss, who is older than mimi

3. abraham lincoln who is the oldest person there is. no one existed pre- honest abe.

so excited

about her new frozen backpack for kindergarten, she actually carried her own belongings out of school for the first time ever.

just a few

he got just a few lego sets...
