"Lets go scrape some leaves into a puddle."
"I just putted some water on my hair to potect my hair so I won't get cold when we go out there. "
After grandma asked if Quinn ran errands today he replied " I can't run errands, I don't have a car. I can't drive."
Mom told Quinn Maren wouldn't be able to walk when she was born. After she was born, he said "mom, why did you tease me that Maren couldn't walk? She has feet."
"Hoop-a-loop" -hula-hoop
"I think Maren thinks me is a toy because she thinks everything is a toy."
Mom: "What are you going to be for Halloween?"
Quinn: "I think I'll just be some hair."
About Maren: "I just want her to be a baby forever, because her is so cute."
Nov 9th First Snow:
Quinn: Is it Christmas yet?
Dad: No
Quinn: Then what's the snow for?
Quinn: Why does Santa have so many elves?
Dad: He has lots of work to do and needs lots of help.
Quinn: Because he's just big and mommies have to do the dishes the whole time?
Quinn: Daddy, do you want a candy in my bum bum or my foot?
