Raquelle watched Cinderella yesterday (and today). It is so cute. She talks through the whole movie telling me what is happening (as if I can't see what is happening for myself). She says that the fairy godmother is Cinderella's "Granny" and she is convinced that the prince is Cinderella's daddy. "Her dancing with her daddy!" "Uh oh, her daddy can't find her!" etc. In other quotes...we are working on teaching her her first middle and last name. So far, she gets them out of order and mispronounces all 3 names. When I ask "What's your name?" She says "Lizbit Charlotte Tell!" Today, I asked her "What's Ty's name?" She answered "Lizbit Charlotte Ty!" LOL.

We are getting the backyard ready for endless hours of outside play this summer. First, here is a picture of Kezzy hanging out while Thad and I worked. I found a little Tikes 8 in 1 climber on Craigs list for less then half price! I have been calling Craigs list adds for these for 2 months and every time someone else beat me to it. This weekend, I happened to hop online and check just an hour after this one was posted...so we finally got it! The kids are pretty excited. They stayed up past their bed time watching us put it together so they could play on it for a few min. There are 3 different places you can put the slides and 3 different places for the tunnel to connect, so if it ever appears to get old, we will just change how it is set up, and it will be like new again. We are getting a sand box this next weekend from a friend and when the whether turns hot we will add a little wading pool and be all set for the summer!

A couple nights ago, we were putting the kids to bed (as we do every night). I went in to tuck Titus in, and found he had removed all of his clothes and diaper. I stopped, surprised, and said "Titus! You're butt naked!" He smiled really big and repeated, "Ty Butt Nay Nay!" Thad walked in just in time to hear Titus and we both broke out laughing. That was the mistake. As soon as Titus realized he had said something funny, it was all a game. He took off running down the hall yelling "Ty Butt Nay Nay!" and laughing. We did get him back into his jammies and into bed shortly after. Since then, every time I try to put him in bed, he removes his clothes and stands on his bed calling to me "Ty butt nay nay!" Lessons learned... 1. Watch what you say in front of or to your children! 2. If they do say something that is funny, but you don't want them to repeat it EVER again, go to the other room to laugh where they don't see you! Yes...
