Weekend cleanup

Mrs ted decreed that no fun would be had this weekend until the house was cleaned and tidied.
Who then brought home, and dumped in the middle of the family room, a self assembly patio set! Not me woof, woof.
We are off to a bad start but hey, I can see myself sipping wine in comfort on the patio sometime soon!

Guess where I am

Woof, woof I said I wouldn't darken their doorstep again but hey, I still know one person who needs to be cheered up and so here I am cheerful in the knowledge that I'm enjoying air conditioning at their expense!

The wisdom of youth!

Little Ted, who should be asleep by now, just wandered through the family room to collect a favorite toy. On return to his bedroom we distinctly heard him muttering "mommy and daddy are addicted to their laptops"
I guess he's correct!

All work and no play

Not for my kids. They spotted a playground and exercised their workers right to a break.

Breakfast in Corpus

At Whataburger, where else?
The kids came to Corpus to help daddy deliver stuff and earn some money towards their Nintendo DS's. Did I mention I'd caved in and agreed they could have these "things" but they need to pay for them themselves!
