Coffee + The Boys= Bad Blend



For Fathers Day we (I) got him a coffee maker, Philips' Senseo. Mandy and Saskia had one when we went up to see Quinten a few weeks ago. Marc loved the coffee and asked for it for Fathers Day. It's a very cool machine that uses individually wrapped coffee pods to make one big cup or two smaller cups of coffee. The pods come in many different flavors and it's so easy to use our boys are now making their own coffee in the morning.

The result ...a bad blend of caffeine+boys. In the few days they've been here they've almost brewed all of the pods I got Marc. The house is a mess, they're bouncing off walls and getting on each others last nerve.

Now I'm rethinking if this coffee machine was a good idea to have in our home. At least the old one was so hard to use that it deterred anyone from brewing a cup or two or three or four.

My plan is to cut off the pod supply...maybe then the boys (including Marc) will detox from the caffeine that now runs through their veins.
