I am getting tired of April. She’s becoming annoying and doesn’t seem to grow any older than a 2-year-old. What has Michael been up to in his new life in college? That’s who I’d be interested in hearing from.
My dad did the same thing, haha. My mom let us trick or treat; she just wouldn’t let us keep all the candy because she said it was bad for our teeth. We could pick a few, and that was it. We never saw where the rest of it went … suspect that they ate it watching TV after we went to bed!! Haha.
Maybe if Liz wears clothes that are a little less childish (like the overalls she’s wearing) or gets contact lenses, she’ll look a little more “grown up,” which is what most 9th grade girls want!
My husband and I, who is a retired physician, taught our children to think more about why Christmas is celebrated — the birth of Jesus — rather than Santa Claus. When the my son and daughter were kids, I emphasized how much fun it is to GIVE, and to see the joy on someone’s face when they are remembered with a gift. I never asked my children to make a “List for Santa.” They were taught to think about ONE present they would like. I mention that my husband is a medical doctor — with his high income, we could have spoiled them with gifts galore (which they did receive from their many relatives and family friends.) But we never wanted them to grow up greedy, spoiled, and overindulged.
