Dear Daddy

Yesterday we went to playland and the older kids coined Orange "Super Baby" and 6 of them followed him around for 2 hours. Today we're making muffins, going to the farmers market and then we thought we'd see if we could destroy the house and make mama's eye twitch some more. It's funny! Mama says we should be wild things, at first I thought she meant for Halloween but now I'm not so sure. She also says she misses Saturdays where sleeping in, eating fried bacon and eggs and holding your head are the only things on the menue. I don't know what she means but she says I'll learn.

P.S. She also says to tell you the trash needs to be taken out and the lawn mowed. What should she do?

Dear Husband

When you get home you owe me big time. I would like a never ending supply of wine, I repeat Never Ending, a day at the spa, perhaps some diamonds and maybe a pony. I shall not be getting up at 3am to play trains with the children, I shall not be taking out the trash or doing dishes. We will not watch "Deadliest Catch" or any other type of man show. We will watch "Say Yes to The Dress" and you will pretend to be interested in each and every dress. We will have girl talk. I would like to be a "lady of leisure" for at least a week.
love you

Dear Daddy,
Yesterday mama took us on an outing and we got new movies. Orange 1 fell asleep holding the one on trains and was very very happy. Mama was in a bad mood to start the day yesterday but then she put on the Bob Dylan Christmas album and it cheered her right up. She says if you don't come home soon she's going to break out all the Christmas stuff early this year. I think she likes Christmas. Today Orange 1 has gone to work at the baby factory, mama says he has to earn his keep.
I miss you and am getting tired of seeing this lady all the time.
Love Piggy

Dear Daddy

This morning I got up and woke up mama with a pat and a kiss. We're having cheerios and watching The Polar Express. The Christmas carols seem to make mama smile, she sings along, she's not very good but she tries, and I like the trains. I think one day I'd like to drive the train. Could you help me?

Yesterday I went on a date with my girlfriend K and I chased her with a stick and pushed her down to show her how much I love her. Then she had to go home and go to bed but I stayed and played a bit longer. Some new girls came, they had popsicles so I knew we were soul mates.  One of them had really curly hair and I gave her a hug and we chased each other up the slide, then I pushed her little sister down the slide to show her how much I love her. Shhh don't tell K.
Love you lots
Orange 1

Dear Daddy

Today I went on a date to the Y. I played with trains and another little curly haired boy. I jumped in a castle and got stuck in a tube. The little curly haired boy tried to help me out but mama had to come get me. I had a great time and then I came home and fell asleep in the middle of the floor while clutching my train. 2 is being good today, he liked watching me play, he got to lick some new toys and is now eating a book on tractors.
Love Orange 1

Dear Daddy

When you come home you'll find there have been some changes. Orange 1 is dating (it's K, he is in love), they hold hands and run in the park and I am starting college. I'm very smart and have decided to skip kindergarten and go straight to college. I've been embezzling funds from mama for a while now and I seem to be very good at it. My hostile takeover of the world has been temporarily put on hold to pursue these other interest. Mama is waiting patiently for you but is starting to look very old. Come home soon.
Love 2
