We played 4 rounds of CLUE on Saturday and another 4 rounds on Sunday. I have to tell you I had a ball! My husband and I were trying to deceive the other into believing we had more clues than we actually did and it was fun. I couldn't help but smile each time I looked at him. It may sound boring or sappy but it's the truth! We also cleaned up the "shop" out back. When we moved in we put boxes in there and while they were in the right room they weren't unpacked. We finished that up in about an hour or so and I had such a feeling of accomplishment. We cooked dinner and did the dishes together. That doesn't happen much since I'm busy cooking while he's fighting traffic to come home. Here's a little note to all you men out there. Generally speaking it's the little things that make the difference. Offer to do something to lighten her load once in a while and it'll work wonders!
Follow up to the Leprechaun fiasco.
She came home from school and acted as if nothing ever happened. This doesn't surprise me. She tends to bottle stuff up. I asked her about it in an attempt to bring out any feelings she needed to share, but nothing. We had decided we needed to clear the air about Santa etc. However we were having such a lovely weekend we didn't want to ruin it. This week she has tests so I doubt we'll do it this week. Honestly I wonder if we should. I don't remember anyone telling me. I just sort of figured it out on my own. Although Taylor is more naive than I was. I don't know what the right answer is. I suppose I'll deal with guilt either way I go.
How was your weekend?

Christmas is way off (mind you, the way this year's going it'll be November before you next blink!) so her friends may do the work for you, or she may suss it for herself.
Sounds like you had a good one! As for mine, well, apart from my dearheart getting the day wrong for a gig we were going to, trying to buy shoes that fit and doing degree work, it was pretty OK really, thanks for asking!
If you want to clear the air with her and let her know the difference between fantasy and reality I would say you might as well tell her. However, let her know at the same time it is okay and healthy to pretend.
Parenting is hard! I hate crushing a fantasy...
How was my weekend? I played for hours with two of my granddaughters and my two daughters---it was great; Dave brought the wrong movie back from Blockbuster, but the right takeout chicken, so we were halfway there, and I fooled around learning to zip files and take video wtih my webcam. Just an ordinary weekend.
Oh, my heart broke about the leperchaun letdown story. Poor thing. Who knew that stuff would come back to bite you in the ass?
Glad you had a good weekend though.
