Chore Day!

Daddy John: With the number of Gregors and Sashas running around Gregoropolis, the chores pile up quickly.  Fortunately, we have a built-in workforce and everybody takes their turn.  Of course, some complete their chores better than others...

Today, Pete Dakota and BR are making the beds.


Although, once I turn my back...


Prince Nicholas Sahara grew up in a castle and had servants to do all that needed doing; that doesn't excuse him from chores in Gregoropolis.  But, he's a good kid and jumped in with enthusiasm...if not with any expertise.

Nicholas: Oh dear.  Which is the washer and which is the dryer?

Nicholas: Uli said that I absolutely must separate the colors and the whites.  
Great Richard the III's ghost--which is this?!?

Nicholas: Well!  This job is rather fine; quiet, and puts one in a contemplative mood.  
Now that I think about  it, I don't recall seeing any of Francis' underclothing in the wash.  
Oh dear.  He wouldn't, would he? All week...wearing...the...same...

Nicholas: FRAAAAANNNNNNK!!!

The chore of making dinner has fallen on Stephen Orange.  He carefully reviewed the cookbook with the 'assistance' of Gino.

Stephen Orange: Hmmm, fish & chips sounds good.
Gino: Come noioso!  Boring!  How about spaghetti alla carbonara?
Stephen Orange: We had it last week.  Shepherd's pie?
Gino: No, no amico mio.  Fettucine alfredo.
Stephen Orange: Ugh, no more Italian!  Beef bourguignon.
Gino: Uffa! Ragú alla bolognese.
Stephen Orange: Beef Wellington.
Gino: Bistecca florentina.

Stephen Orange: Bangers and mash!
Gino: Salame di felino!
Stephen Orange: Bubble and squeak!
Gino: Coglioni di mulo!
Stephen Orange: Toad-in-the-hole!
Gino: Calamari fritti!
Stephen Orange: Spotted dick!
Gino: Strozzapreti!
BR: Knock it off you two; now you're just making things up!

Those boys! Cheeky monkeys making the bed then resting on them!

Nicholas was very helpful doing the iron as well as the washing and good luck getting Frank out of those undies.. rather him than me if he's been wearing them all week!

Gino and Stephen Orange's ever increasing dinner choice cracked me up!Now what shall we have for dinner....

I agree with Nicholas about the ironing! Such a zen experience. I am a bit concerned about Frank and the underwear. I hope that Holly Belle doesn't find out or she'll read him the riot act over it.
