Her Mural

The mural Quinn worked on during her after school mural painting class. They've put it up on the next door's fence next to her school.
If you look to the top right, there is a cat figure. Quinn is very proud that she painted that one called a "Q Cat"

Legoland!!!

It was soooooo boring waiting to load the car

Quinn is and has been fascinated by other children's trauma.  In this case it was a very lengthy nosebleed that required medical and security assistance.  She was captivated.

She totally chose Auntie Amanda for the rollercoaster over dear old dad.  Better get used to this.  

She was doing her best to help Tommy collect pieces of lego for his masterpiece.

Late night pizza.  Post teeth brushing of course.  

I love it when she sings along to her shows.  In this case it was Jake and the Neverland Pirates.  Which kind of explains the fierce face...

Hope everyone else on the train loved the singing!

She's a character

At least now she'll pose for photos.  

What you get depends on the day.  This one was golden though.

Quinn's Recital

It was pretty special.  But a total zoo.  Tons of obnoxious parents and grandparents and people just all over the place.

It was really cute how she and her two friends from preschool huddled together when they first got on the stage.  Strength in numbers I think.  Their teacher had to separate them to have them correctly spaced for the dance.

And that's when Quinn came VERY close to losing it.  I've blown up the picture so you can see.  The tears were on their way.  I can say I blame her.  It was dark and moody and there were probably 200 parents in the seats clapping and cheering.  I would probably cry if I was up there.  (click on the photo to enlarge it if you can't see her face) 

But the lights went on and she pulled it together fast!  

The dance went off without a hitch.  

I'm very proud of her.  It must have been really daunting to be up there.

She's a trooper and the best part is that she enjoyed it and wants to do it again.  

Bravo!!!  

Yeah, she didn't crack a smile the entire time.  She was very deep in concentration.  

But unlike the smiley kids she didn't miss a single step.  I'd love her to be smiling in the photos but that's how she is.  When it's important to her she's all business and concentration.
