New Suit

Stephanie outgrew the swimsuit I bought her last year even though I bought it big hoping she would still fit in it this year.

So I found her a new one at 'Once Upon a Child.'

It's not pink.

Butt (haha), it does have flamingoes on it.

{I bought us a Mountain Dew to share because the only choice was that or Pepsi.}

S: I've had Mountain Dew before.

Me: Oh, really?

S: Daddy got me one at King Kong Burger.

Me: Well, you're a lucky girl.

S: Daddy had a pirate drink before.

Me: A pirate drink?

S: Yeah.

Me: Rum? - the only "pirate" drink I could think of

S: Yeah. Can kids have pirate drinks?

Me: No, it's alcohol and kids can't have that. And adults shouldn't have too much of it either.

S: Why?

Me: Because it makes them act silly and . . .

S: NO! Because it turns them into pirates!

{Same trip a few errands later. I was very tired and thought I was driving on 14th Street but then realized I was actually on 27th...}

Me: Oh. I'm not driving on the street I thought I was on.

S: What? Are you driving on the sidewalk?

Soccer Game #4, May 1st

That's Stephanie by the (other team's) Coach.

She loves to run around - just doesn't like

fighting the crowd for the ball.

(Her mother shouldn't have taught her to share!)

It's mostly about the snacks now anyway.

There she is throwing the ball in.

Sorry for the long-distance photos - I was sitting in the bleachers in the "end zone."

Hoarding Update

She is now up to 10 bottles.

And has started on bags and balloons.

Maybe she's only collecting things that start with the Letter B?
