Every night before the girls will go to sleep I have to shut the door, then yell "nigh night" "Love ya" which they both shout back. If I forget, they will yell it to me until I yell it back.

I was folding laundry and found a pair of Mike's exercise underwear that had some major holes in them and when I threw them away Lucy suggested that we could get him some Dora undies to replace them.
