A houseful of boys!!

I'm at my brother's home right now .... he and Susan have three boys, ages 23, 20 and 16. I raised all girls although I was raised in a houseful of boys! They were all younger than me so that gave me the upper hand! It's amazing how different life is when there are all boys or all girls. Yes, hormones rule when there are all girls. However, Susan has done well in raising the boys to take on responsibilities that seem to be attributed to females ... loading and unloading the dishwasher. I have offered to do it several times -- and have. But, if I do it when Michael is assigned to do it, I am reminded that it is his responsibility. Yesterday, I thought I would get it done early -- but there was Jonathan on the spot (I know, it's "Johnny" on the spot but I doubt that Jonathan wants to be called 'Johnny'!) So, I put the task off until later in the day.
I remember when I was young and hated dish duty -- I still dislike it but am so thankful that someone invented the dishwasher!!

Not much substance today, huh? I was trying to upload a video of Tim 'singing' along with Jonathan playing the drums on "Rock Band" ... perhaps I will get that accomplished later in the day. It was just uploading too slowly and I gotta hit the road soon!!

Since I didn't get that done, I'll add a photo of Tyler that I took last week. It's amazing what he can find to do and to create ... his mind is never asleep!!
