It is difficult to tell what Erik is thinking or what he will come up with next. Sean successfully removed our neighbor's wasp nest that was conveniently located a few yards from our picnic table. Needless to say we had many wasp visitors at our table for dinner.

Erik very carefully removed the outer covering from nest and investigated the inner workings of the nest.

It is very important to him for me to take pictures of everything. I only chose a few of the many photos that I took in his deconstruction of the wasp abode.

It was Erik's turn to unload the dishwasher. A job he thinks is worse than weed eating a field of rocks and thistle (I know I've done it). He was convinced that he could not possibly unload the dishwasher while the dishes were still warm so he went and got our one and only fan and set it up to cool the dishes.

Unfortunately for Erik Ruby discovered said fan and had a lot of fun playing with it. It literally took Erik 4 hours to get the dishwasher unloaded. I have to say this time I was proud of myself for keeping calm and not yelling. There were consequences and we will see if it proves to make the dishes get unloaded faster next time.
