The dollhouse has arrived!

Jo-jo has arrived, and she brought Charlotte's old dollhouse with her. It's hard to describe how amazing this dollhouse is, so I'll include some pictures. First of all, it's huge. The table is, I swear, ten feet long. It just barely fits along one wall of Reagan's room.


There's even a yard around the house with a little pool and a pond and a basketball goal. Here's another picture of Jenny at the back of the house:


And, just to show how much detail is in this little house, here is a picture in the stairwell in the house that shows two portraits on the wall - Marcus and Lee when they were little boys.


Needless to say, the girls are having a lot of fun with this. Jenny's been up there with the dollhouse pretty much the entire day. She was actually sad earlier to realize that we're going to the beach on Tuesday, and she'll have to leave her dollhouse behind - and we're going to the beach! Not somewhere boring.

Finally, I'll leave you with a piece from Lee's 4th Grade writings that I found this weekend.

These include Lee's original spelling.

The only Lie that can Jump Tall Buildings in a single bound.

I used to have Superman’s powers,

I used to be able to fly.

I used to have Superman’s powers,

With heat vision evil I did fry.

I used to have Superman’s powers,

and X-ray vison.

I used to have Superman’s powers,

The abillity to make nucular fision.

I used to have Superman’s powers,

I jumped buildings in a single bound

I used to have Superman’s power

I scared all the bad guys around.

I used to have Superman’s powers,

I gave Lex Louthor a fright,

But I broke my mother’s fine china,

And she bought some kryptonite.

A Couple Limericks

There was a man from bugota

Who sat in a bar and made soda

He got tired of it

And so he quit

And he joined the fan club for Yoda

There once was a lousy old cupid

Boy was he ever stupid

He did the strut

But didn’t wipe his butt

And went around smelling stupid

The Fight

I grabbed the toy. So did my brother. First bad langaue, then the punch he hit first but I got blamed cause I’m bigger. I ran to my room. I slammed the door. That’s when the fight began. Should I stay mad, No. But I put the fight in a little vault in the back of my head where it would always be. I alone knew the combination. I shut it and ran down to eat.
