Jacob and his family have been coming over to visit a bit this last week. This is Jaxon1 and Jared, Jacob’s little brothers. They’re sitting on our couch, having their minds rotted away by modern video entertainment while their mother tortures me. I’ve been working on doing some remodeling in my office and she’s been doing layout and design of the setup. For this picture, she’d dropped by to show me the latest drawings.
We also had Jacob and Jared over last night. We have a parent-teacher conference this evening for Corwin. We tried to get babysitters (because Corwin isn’t allowed to go and Charles would not be much help) but both Sophie the neighbor girl and Erica had neglected to clear their schedules with us before committing to activities! The disrespectful youth of today. Shocking.
As a result, we traded off with Jacob’s family. We got Jacob and Jared last night and they’ll get stuck with Corwin and Charles tonight.
What did they do while they were here? Well, Corwin hadn’t used all of the paint from his pinewood derby effort so the boys got in to that. From what Mom tells me, they spent most of the time seeing who could mix the grossest, blood looking color. They managed to create some colors that were a bit stomach turning, especially when spilled on the floor and you weren’t sure it was really paint.
Corwin did help me a bit while I was cleaning up, although he showed no interest in that until I got out the spray cleaner. Corwin was willing to help with that.
