Domestic tableau

This about sums up weekends around our house.

GRETCHEN: Trying her best to clean our messy house.

BABY: Having a ball with the vacuum cleaner on/off switch.

GRADY: Standing right in front of Gretchen, barking nonstop, while she tries to vacuum.

ME: Sitting down with a cup of coffee while all this goes on around me, doing nothing more strenuous than grabbing my cellphone to get a picture to capture the moment.
