While's Mom's gone the boys will play

Mom is off on another corporate adventure this week. She left very early this morning to take Charles to Grandma’s house while she went on to the airport to catch her plane. Corwin and I will be going bachelor this week, partying till the wee hours of the morning and driving until we can’t see straight. We just have to make sure Mom doesn’t find out about that, or that we junked all the food she left and broke out the cookies and Super Beltz.

I had thought that I was a bit of a slug but I was unable to persuade Corwin to leave the house today. Part of the problem is that I thought it was going to be warm again today but a cold front came through so it was about 25° F colder than I had anticipated. Corwin, have acted on my bad advice, had put on his new sports outfit which is a tank top and shorts made of very light material. Going outside would mean changing in to something else (with sleeves and legs) and that was too traumatic for Corwin.

But I have a moment’s peace now because Jacob came over and the two of them decided to watch Ring of Fire. Oh, I typed too soon – I hear that bouncing around the house now which I suppose I should look in on before civilization itself is destroyed.
