Once again I'm left at home while ...

... the Ted's have fun.
Today they went off to Corpus Christi so that Eddy could take part in a poetry reading contest organized (a euphemism if ever there was one) by the UIL
Sadly or thankfully, depending on your point of view and whether or not you have your legs crossed waiting for the Ted family to return and let you outside for a pee, Eddy did not make it to the finals. Personally I think the competition was weighted in favor of the City school kids but then I'm biased.
However, in spite of the mind numbing boredom induced by having to sit for 3 hours waiting for some order to emerge from the chaos which surrounded the day, both Ted children behaved impeccably. Not only were they well behaved throughout the competition but, when subjected to further periods of adult oriented shopping, they displayed patience beyond their years. Needless to say they had to be rewarded with a trip to Toys R Us and, as the photo shows, they were very happy with the outcome of their day.
