"Austin, don't climb too high! You'll fall! Aiden, I see you! Don't you dare shove your brother!"

Theo let out a sigh, rubbing the back of his head. He was honestly exhausted; the hours stacking up at his construction job. He'd rather be face down in bed on his day off, snorin' away, but his two boys were fresh outta school for the summer. He was lucky that his neighbor, a nice old woman named Ms. Winters, had offered to watch them occasionally while he was at work.
