Additional Information:
I have been "complaining" that Mr. FECS has not been cooking. It is Saturday - the day we have our "Martha Day" - meaning he is the Martha :-). And he remembered it :-). He bought all the groceries, and have been running many errands. So I was very appreciative. He wanted to make burger tonight. So I volunteered to give him a rest and so that he can go through the school work with Joshua, and I will make dinner instead. So tonight we had teriyaki burger, instead of him cooking.
