A pleasant evening

My wife had to be at work at 3:00 this afternoon, so I had sole parental duty this evening. My daughters wanted to go play at the playground up at the school, and then we went for a short walk through the neighborhood.

When the food was finished, the three of us sat down, and had a very pleasant dinner together. The girls ate their food, without me having to nag them about it, and we actually were able to talk.
