N loves the United States. He has decided that he wants to go visit all of the ones he hasn't been to yet, especially Georgia, Montana, Nashville (city) and South Dakota. In fact, he is most excited about going to South Dakota. (Though he asked me tonight if Montana has swimming pools.) Daddy said that when they went to pick up Lucky from Laurie's house, N told her we'd bring Lucky back when we go to South Dakota. ("But there are no beaches there.")

Tonight he did the States puzzle all by himself! We were so proud of him.

A told us tonight that she likes getting bad kids in trouble at school and that she is known in her music class for being a goody-goody. We hope this doesn't backfire!
