Bryan found a toad in our yard.

Betty's Weekly Summary: We have had two days of sunshine in a row... without rain...I'm pinching myself to make sure it's real. This morning Breeanna woke up and shared with me her ryhme. 'Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum. I'm going to eat someone.', she said. Then she told me that giants use people's bones to make bread. Bryan came into the room and refuted that and said that he was a giantnologist. (...as far as I know there was no a such thing...) I guess that ended our conversation because how am I going to argue with a giantnologist about giants. Betty
