Marcus pipes up with, "I can't wait until I mate."
"What?"
"I. Can't. Wait. Until. I'm. Eight."
"Oh. Okay."
Say What?

Five Things Of Note
- There are currently five tadpoles living in the kids' room. Tadpoles!
- With the help of Elie and Laura, we finished framing two walls of the shed. Progress!
- I have another two hundred lines of code to go in order to implement search functions for the campaign database and optional notification emails and the eventual mass emailing of sponsors and bloggers and handling blogs that drop out of the Blogathon. Code!
- Rebecca had uneven red-eye in a photo from last night and now Matthew has me in a state of constant worry over whether she has a blood clot in her eyeball that will lead to an aneurysm. Panic!
- I may eventually have time to design a site for myself. Possibly.
Utterly Charming
My older younger sister is wicked and evil. I have great hopes for smiting her come Christmas.
Rebecca is quite taken with the facehugger. Really. Hug it and squeeze it and call it George, indeed.
Child-proofing
Lately, I've taken to having a Stonyfield Farm Vanilla Truffle yogurt for breakfast with a piece of fruit. However, I am particularly possessive of my yogurt, as I'm not really big on breakfast and finding something acceptable is difficult. If the kids ever tasted it, I would no longer have any breakfasts left in the fridge.
"Mom, why is your yogurt brown? Is it chocolate?"
"No, it is truffle-flavored."
"Like on Iron Chef? The mushrooms?"
"Yes, exactly."
I am a horrible mother.
It's In Pieces
As we've been cleaning out the office, Marcus and Rebecca have been kept busy disassembling old electronic hardware that no longer works.
Rebecca's favorite piece is the phone, on which she has been constantly chatting with Frodo, her imaginary friend. Marcus is altogether too fond of solenoids, I'm afraid.
