Front Page: Demise of the Flip Flop

One lonely little Mickey Mouse flip flop now lives at our house. It's match is lying on the side of the highway. Why you ask? Because when we were driving one sunny nice day this week we had the windows down and Mini thought it would be fun to throw his flip flop out the window. Now it's sad because it doesn't live with us any more. He was bummed because he loves flip flops and because we couldn't go get lunch because he now didn't have shoes on. It was a major travesty at our house so he's now doing chores to earn 20 quarters to buy new flip flops.


Vacuuming under the table earns one quarter

Daddy's 5 Reasons for Why Throwing Your Flip Flop Out the Window is Naughty:
1. Flip flops are expensive so it's a waste of money
2. You could hurt someone if they are hit by your flying flip flop
3. You could get hurt yourself if you stick your arm out the window
4. Hmmm... I forget this one
5. It's bad for the environment

Restaurants: Spaghetti Sauce

I am getting so much better at making spaghetti sauce.
Almost as good as a restaurant now perhaps?
Can't you just smell it bubbling away on the stove?
