Injured

Last night Stephanie tripped and hit her eye on the corner of the toy box.
These pictures were taken this morning. I had once thought about taking pictures of all her injuries she suffers but then I would only have time to post pictures of her injuries and you all would forget I even have other kids. (And I can't bring myself to take a picture of her toenail which split halfway down ~ it makes my feet hurt just thinking about it.)

But look how gorgeous she is when she smiles for real!

Pickled Eggs

This girl will try anything once.

She didn't eat the yolk (never does) but now she also likes pickled eggs.

Grandpa didn't think she would try it.

Artwork Wednesday - Megamind Edition

We watched "Megamind" last weekend. The kids all loved it. So did John & I.

This is Megamind.

This is Minion.

Whistle

Stephanie can whistle. She's been able to do it for several months now. Not sure if I ever posted that before or not. And I'm too lazy to look now.

Pedestrian Knowledge

I took Stephanie with me to pick up Philip this evening. Her class is learning about street signs. She pointed out the yellow sign with the people walking on it and told me that it was a "Pedestrian Crossing" sign. She even said it right. She told me that meant people who are walking. She said when she walks on the sidewalk then she is a pedestrian. Then she looked at me and asked, "Can you say 'pedestrian?'" So I did and she said, "Good job!"

her new quote:

"When someone tells me "no," it doesn't mean I can't do it, it simply means I can't do it with them."
— Karen E. Quinones Miller

~ if that doesn't sum Stephanie up perfectly, then I don't know what does!
