First of all, a quick update on the Buckleys: they are moving into their new home, although I'll be honest and admit I haven't finished decorating the house yet! Stay tuned for part two of the story though; hopefully I'll post it in the next few weeks.
I don't know about other parts of the world, but today in New Zealand and in Bluebell Oaks it is Father's Day! The villagers are each celebrating their dads, (and children!) on this day. I want to dedicate this story to my own dad, who always cares about me and works hard for my family. He is very wise and always takes me places and does stuff with me. I'm grateful to have a good father.
Whenever I have a sylvanian-based disaster (like when I leaned back one day and accidentally snapped the top side platform off my windmill, or the time the Buckleys' telephone snapped in half) it is always my dad that rescues the situation with glue and calm words. I'm sure my sylvanians are grateful too! : )
Ruby and Amber Robinson adore their dad, Wilbur.
He can always be relied on for lots of fun.
Daddy is not always competent, however, as the girls have discovered. Once, he even managed to dress Ruby with her clothes inside out!
Florence was away for the morning, and Ruby went the whole morning wearing her clothes inside out, till her mother got home and realised her husband's mistake.
The three of them often get up to lots of mischief together. More often than not, Florence will arrive home in despair to find her usually so tidy kitchen a mess.
I'm sure you can guess who the culprits were.
Although, as Amber has discovered, her dad is not always completely trustworthy, especially when it comes to muddy puddles.
"Just jump, sweetheart, I'll catch you!"
"Hmm..."
"Dad!! You said you'd catch me!"
"Oops..."
(based on my own experience!)
Amber and Ruby know that dads are often easier to con into things than mums...
"Look, Dad, the toy store! Can we look inside?"
"Sure!"
"Wow Dad look at all the toys!"
"Can we get this Daddy?"
"And this?"
"Well..."
"Pleeaase?"
"Well," Wilbur said grudgingly. He knew he was in between a rock and a hard place, "I don't see why not."
"Oh boy, what will Florence say?"
Happy Father's Day!
