Labor Day

We didn't tell the kids that Tommy was going to have the day off today because we thought it would be a nice surprise for them to get up and find him not leaving for work.  Sure enough, when he got up this morning (and I stayed in bed because, come on, it's a holiday!), I could hear Faith's squeals of excitement through the door from the living room.

Eric, however, was more concerned with the disruption of routine and not at all sure Tommy should still be there.  He had to wait for me to get up; then he ran to ask me, very seriously, "Does Daddy stay home on Mondays?"  (Obviously, Tommy's word wasn't good enough for him.)
