From Happy to Sad in .5 seconds

My girls were blocking the door leading to the garage... saying "We're gonna stop daddy" Over and over. He was on his way to scouts and they did not want him to leave.... While they were chanting in the kitchen we snuck him out the front door......

This is what their faces looked like when I told them. All happiness faded in an instant.

This is what they looked like after they confirmed he was gone.....

Yes, I am the mean mom that took the photos.... On the plus side, they had already given him hugs and kisses before we tricked them..... Plus I let them call him on the phone ;)
Afterwards they said next time they will split up and guard both doors... My kids are too funny!
