Making A Stink

The girls lent their help last week in our fight against the stinky construction site next door. They both appeared in a photo accompanying an article about how the smell from our neighboring construction site was really bumming everyone out.

So far no one has asked for autographs from either Norma Rae wannabee.

The Era of the Whistle

A week or two ago Stella finally figured out how to whistle. I think it's more of an inward whistle than an outward whistle. I guess that doesn't matter.

She's very proud of herself.

But now she's got a bit of a tic. A cute tic though. Almost every time she finishes a sentence, she ends it with a whistle.

"I think I want Cheerios please (whistle)."

"Let's play the mommy and baby game (whistle)."

"Did you know that God made everything (whistle)?"

I'm going to assume that this will pass. Or else she is going to be a very annoying girl.
