So dynamaso and I had our nephew and his friend as house guests for the past few days. (gotta figure out how to link to his blog)
Anyhoo - two 14-year-old boys in the house of a childless-by-choice couple could have been a little scary, but I'm pleased to report we had a ball. No doubt you'll get photos from Mark, but I thought I'd just give my perspective.
Mitchell brought along his friend Steve and both boys spent large parts of the weekend showing the other adolescent in the house (my husband) the latest Playstation moves. We also saw Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and went to the zoo and shopped and then when I worked they all walked around Sydney's scenic Rocks area. Both boys were polite and did what they were told, when they were told. They bought us presents, ate what was put in front of them (mostly) and in general were no trouble at all.
Looking forward to repeating the exercise with the other 9 nephews and nieces!
