Last night, Paul and I were standing out on the porch outside the front door and something large and black caught my eye on the wall.  It was the biggest beetle I have ever seen in person, EVER!  Well...this even at least had to be memorialized in photography!  Out comes the Droid X!

We made cranberry wine today and Christopher was right there, helping and watching.  "Don't you want to go watch a wee, christopher?"  "No," said Chris.  He wanted to stay right where he was, helping, participating.  What a delight.  Later he went with Mommy to the store.  Christopher scanned all of the juice on the self-checkout.  Mommy loves taking Christopher shopping with her!

Zachary has been singing all of the songs he learns in school all over the house.  Christopher's favorite song appears to be "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" -- and he knows nearly all of the words!

9/7

I knew it would happen eventually, with boy twins. We had a "penis party". Zachary realized that the thing between his legs is called (drumroll, please!) a penis! Oh, and Christopher has a penis, too! Way cool stuff here. Wow, we had two very stoked 4 year olds. Does Mommy have a penis? ("Whe’ penis Mom?") No, she does not. Does Daddy? Yes! Super-cool! Does Baby? No, Chelsea does not have a penis.

Recently:
Out in the backyard all the kids will suddenly decide it is time to go pee. The boys stand on the edge of the grass, sending their arcs off into the distance. Chelsea, not to undone, removes her undies and sits in the grass, and pees in the grass.

Today:

Daddy made pancakes for breakfast! All the kids love their “panqueques” with lots of syrup, and daddy makes them fluffy with strawberry wine in the pancake mix and uses the hand mixer. Zachary finishes them up, and then licks the luscious syrup off of the plate. Yum, yum!

“Aaaahh!!” cries <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />Chelsea from the boys’ room.

<?xml:namespace prefix = o /> 

“Mama, da baby!” yells Christopher.
