If you have read here very long you a)are close friends or family since few people can stand the sporadic nature of my writing and b)you have realized that not much gets past Riley. He is a maze of constant questions as he doesn't let unfamiliar words or ideas just hover about him: he must get to the bottom of who, what, why, and how. He wears me out, in a fun, inquisitive kind of way.
Yesterday we were leaving for school when he said, "Mom, the light in the laundry room is broken."
"No, it's just burned out. Be sure to tell Dad."
"Why do I tell Dad?"
"Because light bulbs are his department." (Basically anything more than 6' off the floor are his department because there's the whole find the stool, possibly a screwdriver, yada, yada).
"What's your department? Everything else?"
PRE-cisely.

Yes, that Riley is one smart cookie. Make sure that Troy teaches him all about light bulbs and the changing thereof. :) OR he could just be a sitter.
By the way, I dreamed about you and Ashley last night. A. was VERY hungry during a basketball game, and I kept trying to figure out what I could throw to her that she could eat while playing.
i'm not laughing...
honest

Teaching those boys at a young age correct division of labor is very important!
Gee, the way you post and edit this information, one would think there's something odd or unusual about such an efficient division of labor!
Light bulbs, vehicle repair, lawns, home repair, home maintenance, demolition, landscaping, fencing, roofing repairs, caulking, painting, insect removal, light plumbing, fixture wiring, tax preparation, investment planning, chauffeur, basketball coach, baseball coach, soccer coach, music instructor, sibling referee, tree cutter, toy mender, toilet plunger, barbecue master, venison gatherer, snow-cone provider, PTA volunteer, furniture repair, furniture designer, furniture maker,...and that was just the past two weeks.
(whew)
