While Dad was Away...

We were sad.  The dinner table had a big hole in it.

 We were happy.  Puzzles always make us happy.

We went on field trips.  To Tomato Street, yummmm!  Micah wrote, "Hi Jef the cyclist with one F..."

 We were hungry.  We went to Applebee's one night to use a gift card.  When they went to run the card, though, it had ZERO on it.  How's that for irony?!?  Still fun.  Still happy to not cook dinner.

We were amazed.  A "phone book" showed up on our doorstep and Grace couldn't believe it.  "A book with everyone's phone numbers in it?!?  That's creepy!!!"
