Boys

Will be boys. 

And then they will be grounded from the iPad.

And the Wii, and the TV,  Netflix, and the computer, and basically anything that can be plugged in.

Grounded until I need help with one of these items at least.

Mescherscmidt 262 Swallow

WWII Jet.

Only the Germans had jets  in World War II, and this one of them.  One of the few in the world.  One of probably the only two flying.

Funny.  Even though it was worthy enough for the air in the war, the FAA requires that it be marked experimental now after being put back together for flight since it was essentially home built by a team of private owners.

 One more piece of history the brood has climbed on after their daddy just happened upon it during lunch one day..



And the dirt pile outside, that proved to be as interesting as the airplane.

Saving for a goal

They picked the toy.

They plan to pool their money.

They are earning a small allowance.

They have a goal.

They are obsessed.

And then when they set the table without being asked, they said they required money.

I'm afraid my lecture on being a good citizen of this house, and how there are responsibilities and there are opportunities to go above and beyond sounded a bit like Charlie Brown's teacher.
