We don’t do to school we stay here and work on our farm. Robert was the first one up and he ran up stairs really happy and yelling and scream that today father is going to come home. Me and Kenny had gotten up an went down stairs mo told us to go and get things ready for them to eat and after they eat they have o go clean because there father is coming home today. Kenny had went to go get the milk I had went to go get the oatmeal. We had told grandma molly that father was coming home. She said that she was very happy that he was coming home. That why she was going to make a big dinner for him to come home.

She told me that she was going to make all the food that he had like. she was going to make the cornbread and the apple pie for me. I told her that it would be good. That when Kenny come and ask for the oatmeal that he was hungry. I told him that I was coming and that grandma molly was talking to me. He had gotten he oatmeal that he always eats and he got my for me . we had went to the kitchen ate the oatmeal and then we had to clean up and go clean outside. My jobs were to clean out the chicken pins and to clean out the weeds that are in the gardens. When I was done with that I had to go help mom with the dinner. While Robert and Kenny have to finish cleaning out side. Robert really little so he can help with the little things.

While I was washing the corn in the sink I heard mom telling grandma molly that there was a chance that father was not going to make it. But he said that there was also a chance that he was. Mom came in and told me to start making the dough for the bread and hat she will come and help me with the rest after I finish mixing it. When I finish mixing it I called mom in the kitchen for her to help me to shape the bread for we can put it in the oven. After that we had to making the chicken and the other things that we had to cook. We had made the chicken next because that had took along time. Kenny and Robert had came in to get the rest of the things that they need.
