Be specific

For FHE this past Monday night, I made this enormous pan of lasagna with meat, pepperoni, three different cheeses - Parmesan, cheddar, mozzarella, etc. Guess what, no one came to dinner. Good thing the three boys at home like it. They have to eat it over a few day.
Some of the things we talked about (common sense things), is that no doing laundry at 12 am since our bedroom is across the room from the laundry room, No cooking food after 12 (nothing smell worst then the smell of food cooking when you are trying to sleep, and no girls after 11:45 pm. so they can be home by 12 am and no TV after midnight.  After that evening, At about 1 am, I heard the TV on. The two Maori boys were watching a DVD show and making microwave popcorn. Dana said no TV after midnight, he did not specified no movies and we did not specific cooking included microwaving pop corn. I never thought microwave popcorn could smell so bad. Be specific, when it comes to rules.
It is hard for the boys with nothing to do during the day. The house can only be so cleaned. The weather is not cooperating, therefore, two very bored Maori boys at home since they do not like to read books that has more words than pictures. It is going to be a very long few months for these boys. They had expected more practices and playing time, but with the weather, that has not been the case.  I asked if they want to do services for families that have lots of little kids, so the moms can have a break, they said no.
