I just learned before I made dinner that all the apples are gone and we only have four oranges left and about six of the bananas. Groceries were purchased on Saturday morning and it's now Tuesday evening. Guess the boys will be hungry for a snack come later this week. Maybe I'll give them a lettuce leaf to chomp on. LOL
