Farmer Ben vs. SUPER BEN!

I'm grateful I have this blog as a reminder of all the fun things, cute things, annoying things and weird things that happen in our family. Especially with BEN! Of course!
This weekend as we headed to the mall with the Terry's we saw that a neighbor of ours had put a sign on a "Little Tykes" play farm that read "FREE/LIBRE". So we uh, made a quick stop & picked it up... and by picked it up I mean that Ryan had to carefully maneuver holding it while not getting chopped in half by the back hatchback door of the car and me driving ever so slowly! Anyway, we got it home and then cleaned it up the next day and put it out in the backyard for Benny to play in. He already loves going outside, so this is an even better excuse for him to get out there and play.All I have to say is SCORE! It's in really good shape, and all it needed was a good wash and bleach job and it was ready to play in! He already LOVES it... in fact yesterday when we came home he grabbed my hand and took me to go get Ally to let her out and then after I let her out, he grabbed my hand again and walked me to the back door and then out to the deck and then out to the edge of the deck. I took him down the stairs and he giggled when he saw the little house!!! He's so cute... that kid of mine. And now whenever he wants to go outside he says "bye-bye?" I guess that's how he associates being out of the house.We also had some laundry near the garage door to be done and he found a new super hero cape... it fit around his neck just perfectly and he had something to drag making his flying abilities amazing. Only one thing... he had to give it back to me because I'll eventually need it to contain my super hero powers! (He's going to kill me for this one day!)Well, speaking of going outside- I think I'll take him out there. He's probably could use some fresh air, as well as me!
