Within the span of two minutes, both of my daughters had their bloggable moment of the day:

     First, I heard the water in the bathroom running and I knew that Ladybug was engaging in her current favorite activity: 'cleaning' the bathroom sink.  That's mildly interesting in and of itself, but here's my favorite part: her preferred cleaning tool is a Dixie Cup from the dispenser by the toothbrushes.  I don't know why.  Apparently it's good for removing dried toothpaste?  She basically scrubs the sink with the mushy remains of the cup until it completely disintegrates.
     Second, Baby Duck had been apparently paying attention moments before the water in the bathroom came on when I began to fan myself, saying, "Woo!  I've got a case of the third-cup-of-coffee-sweats!  You know, when you drink enough coffee quickly enough to raise your body temperature?"  As I was returning from observing the sink cleaning, Baby Duck met me in the hall with a wet paper towel so I could cool off.  That kid is a problem solver, let me tell you!

     I wish I had something to include about the other girls, but the Munchkin has spent the last two nights at grandparents' houses, so I'm not fully informed of what she has been up to.  Teeny Bear is unfortunately busy dealing with the heartbreak of losing a beloved pet.  Parvo blows.  Rest in peace, Guinness Cletus.
