I just want to remember the cute things my kids do forever.
Like these:
~ Paiton constantly dancing, singing, and putting on a show. She knows all the words to most songs and, of course, loves the popular songs - Call Me Maybe, still all Katy Perry stuff, anything by Justin Bieber (she calls him Justin Fever!), Taylor Swift, etc., etc.! She's hilarious and my very best friend!
~ Quinn's new "thing" is to go "Mmmm!" when he eats something he really likes! It's so cute, he'll do it and then laugh with us! He also is signing the word "eat" now too! 
~ Every time I take Quinn upstairs for a nap or to go to bed he waves good night to everyone else. He then lays his head on my shoulder and wraps his arms around his neck while I carry him upstairs to his room. It is the sweetest thing in the world and I walk as slowly as I can. :) He also thinks he's very silly and every time we try to put his blankie on him he puts his legs straight in the air so that we can't cover him and laughs! Such a silly boy!
~ Paiton is doing wonderfully still in preschool. We are still tossing around the idea of seeing if we can get her tested into kindergarten a year early. I think she is more than ready, and I fear that if she has to go through a full third year of preschool, she'll be super bored in Kindergarten. BUT - I would miss her terribly and that would mean she'd be ready to move away for college one year sooner! Matt says I'm the only one who would think this way, but I can't help it! ;) 
~ They both have the sweetest giggles. I actually took a video in Quinn's room in the dark tonight of me tickling him and him just giggling. I love that sound. 
~ We have Halloween costumes all picked out in the Locke house! Quinn will be a fighter pilot, and Paiton will be a mermaid! For her Halloween parade at school she will be Pebbles and her little blonde haired arranged-marriage boyfriend, Bowen, will be Bamm-Bamm! :)

Other than our kids being ridiculously good looking, ;) , we haven't been up to much other than the usual! Both of Matt's tennis teams, and my team as well, made it to districts! I'm excited, it's my first and I have been having so much fun playing! Paiton is still doing dance and loves it. She desperately wants to start gymnastics as well, especially after watching Quinn get to play on all the stuff for PT, but it's spendy, so if anyone wants to throw $150 our way, we'll take it! ;) Quinn still gets toted around to whatever errands/meetings/pick ups/drop offs I have and is my little companion. He's so super sweet and hilarious. Both kids have an obsession with Dutch Bros coffee (wonder where they get that...can't be their parents...) and if we happen to go through and *GASP* not get them a drink, Quinn lets us know just how upset he is by screaming "apple!" (his word for "drink") and crying! Poor kid is so tortured!
I know I promised some picture posts, I really need to get those up! I am so, so behind! I don't know how/if I'll ever catch up!!
