Home improvement...?

Dear Nicky,

Today I tried to do some stuff around the house. I think I succeeded in insulating the attic door reasonably well. We shall see. I got my hopes raised when I was able to remove that old valve from the front hosebib, but then I was disappointed because that kind of valve is old and hard to find. I did prime the other flower box, and maybe this week sometime I'll be able to paint it. We all went and got Halloween costumes, and returned some plastic pumpkins, and got some groceries. Then we went looking for some park with a castle in it, but it was torn down. You ate almost a whole container of Annie's stars this afternoon, but not much else. Your last two teeth, your eyeteeth are coming in, and they're the most painful. I'll be glad when this teething's over.

Love,
Dad
