Unfortunately, the title is not a euphemism for some super-cute anecdote, but is, instead, a description of actual events. The offending item has been discarded, even though some in the world would consider that Kiki just rendered the item sterile.
On the bright side, my cute Maggie has added a few new words to her repertoire: Bye, Bye; hello (pronounced ell-ooo); head; eye; dip; and ice. She is becoming quite communicative, and I warned Kate today that soon her days of saying, "I don't know why she's crying. She must have tripped," will soon be over since Kiki will be able to rat her out.
I pulled a parenting tactic out of my mom's old bag of tricks. I sent Kate to clean her room, set the timer, and told her that when the timer went off anything still on the floor was going on a looooong vacation. She dilly dallied around, and when the timer went off, I swooped in and filled a garbage bag of stuff. Needless to say, Kate flipped and went and cried to Bruce about my unneccessary cruelty, but he was unsympathetic. Ironic, since he's been on the receiving end of my penchant to discard, but that's a story for another day.

I'm taking mental notes of your parenting tactics. I love the long vacation bit. I might need to use it on myself. So sorry about your eyebrow pencil.
I like it! I think the timer is one of the best invetions ever!
You didn't say if it was intentional or not, but you have to admire the precision required to pee on something so small. On the bright side, potty training should be a breeze with that kind of aim.
Lani destroyed my entire makeup bag...dumped everything out on the white carpet (of our rental) and smeared coral lipstick all over her body. This was done after an 18 hour day of moving and I couldn't find the baby soap. I win this one!
Naughty babies. After all we went through to get them here, this is how they thank us!!

Becca left out the part of the story when Kate came out looking for sympathy I told her I didn't have time to talk because I had to get my chores done. Kate said, "Do you have toys you are going to lose also?"
