~ Tuesday ~

Last night, Brooks plus Darrell & Tyler arrived home after their shift ended at 11 pm. Not sure why because the game showed the icon for return home but … both Darrell and Tyler walked through the house/around it and into the backyard … changed into swimsuit and sat at the edge of the pool … got up and came inside still wearing their swimsuits.

Tyler got tired of waiting for Darrell to finish in the bathroom and took a nap.

Darrell soon joined her on the other couch after discovering that Josephine was in the double bed that he wanted.

Alisha looks pretty happy! Is it because she’s heading to “troll teh forums” or because of the green stench surrounding the two napping? She knows they are going to be pretty miserable when they wake up. evil cackle

Doodle expressed a need to go so I had Heather ask him to go potty. He has learned to pee outside. HOORAY!!

Heather is Good and Alisha is Evil but they get along really well.

Doodle adds his own puddle near the trash pile.

And another “present”.
