And one quick one about Ben

This afternoon, we went over to the new house to take out the carpet, tack strips, padding and other miscellaneous junk because tomorrow is garbage day. Ben followed us down the driveway with every trip and once on the way back, he fell and skinned his knee. He didn't cry, he rarely does when he gets hurt, but he said "OH my knee!" and continued on like nothing had happened. A few minutes later, we got into the car and he says, "Mommy? Put it back to-gether". I turned around to see him rubbing his little scrape, trying to put the skin over the injured part. Awww...

Then we were driving behind a big truck that had words on the back. Maddie starts reading them. "Kiss.... My.... Cown... no.. Country.... (Ryan starts talking loudly to her, but she is undeterred) ...Ass." Ryan and I look at each other, and she starts singing a song behind us. WHEW! we lucked out on that one! It's so much fun having a 4 year old that can read!
