Cody and Kylee vs the Bubbles

1. Remember how Cody and Kylee love to take baths in our master bath? Well, today they were in the bath with a mountain of bubbles having lots of fun when Cody yelled, "Hurry Kylee! Pop the bubbles! It's Cody and Kylee verses the Bubbles. We have to pop them or they will pop us!"


2. Whenever I ask Cody to get something for me in the "scary" basement or in the loft he asks Kylee to go with him to scare the monsters away for him. Kylee is usually willing and she knows her part well. If I listen carefully I can hear her yelling and growling at the monsters so that Cody is safe on his errand.


3. The other day Steve took Kylee to the grocery store for an ingredient we needed for dinner. They ended up buying the ingredients for a little dessert surprise too (yogurt pie). While they were making the pie in the kitchen Steve was trying to help Kylee keep the secret by saying things like, "we made something, but it's a surprise and we're not going to tell, right Kylee?" But while we were eating dinner Kylee caved when Cody asked her what the surprise was. Before Steve could coach her Kylee said, "it's pie!" Cody smiled and said, "Kylee! Don't let the cat out of the bag!!"

Steve and I laughed pretty hard when Cody said that. Seriously, that kid and his vocabulary.


4. We had a gift card to Outback and decided to take the kids out (yes, all three of them) on our way home from the DMV (the kids were so good for us!) So right before we went into the restaurant I decided to review a few rules about eating out so that we could avoid repeating some of our past restaurant disasters.

Me: OK. We have to be SO good in the restaurant. Do we yell or cry or whine in the restaurant?"

Cody and Kylee: NO!

Me: Do we jump or run around?

Cody and Kylee: NO!

Me: Do we say please and thank you?

Cody: YES!

Kylee: NO! We say sorry!

(Hmmm. She probably has to say sorry a lot more than she says please or thank you.)


5. Today Cody said, "Dad, we can say 'Voldemort' all we want because we're not in Harry Potter, right?"


6. Kylee doesn't really like eating sandwiches. So, when the rest of us are eating sandwiches for lunch she usually asks for 'butter and bread' instead. Yesterday after requesting her usual she said, "Mom, butter and bread loves me because they help me be healthy."

Love the quotes, someday when Duncan speaks complete English I hope to keep a running log of all of his funny phrases. I can just imagine them saying those things, what cuties!
