Is there anything better than hearing your kids giggle and have fun? I think not…

IDK who needs to hear this, but:
How to close a door quietly (to not wake someone up):
1 turn the knob as if opening the door, but hold at the end to keep latch in
2Slowly close door (esp at end)
3Let go of knob so latch catches and door stays closed

When the trick or treaters mistake SamSquatch and Yeti for kids in costumes, they invite the newcomers to the neighborhood candy swap. Afraid of humans but not ghouls, Sam and Yeti are in for a big surprise when they arrive and the masks start coming off. #pbpitch #L

SO MANY FEELINGS
Ryan has SO MANY FEELINGS. They take up at least three shelves in his room, until one day they run away. Ryan misses Happiness and tries to lure them back, but when Anger is the first one found, he realizes he should learn how to get along with them all. #pbpitch

INT. CHICKEN X M. GOOSE

When the goslings request a bedtime story, MOTHER GOOSE IS TIRED and her lines don’t rhyme. The goslings attempt their own story, but discover that Mother is so good with stories that she might be able to tell them with her eyes closed. #PBPitch

When Rex’s friendly “hello” erupts as a roar, the other dinosaurs flee in fear. It isn’t until Pterry agrees to have TEA WITH REX that the bitter misunderstandings dissolve into sweet friendships. #pbpitch

A GOAT WALKS INTO A BARN:

Vince longs to win G.O.A.T. status, but he doesn’t have his act together for the farm talent show. After barn-hopping for ideas, he realizes that he’s throwing away his shot if he doesn’t reach for the stars. #PBPitch

@NatashaZimmers We do that on FaceTime. I hide my phone in random places and the kids go try to find Grandma. :-) Then sometimes they switch.

@Tara_Trudel 🙋‍♀️ Guitar and piano, mostly. :-)

@Sarah_A_Author Thanks!

@KSwemba Both! I have a story I’ve come back to several times and now can’t decide which version is better. Gonna sit on it a bit more. :-)

@christiemegill My kids are still wearing masks. They’re used to it and they still wear them at school. Our vaccinated adults wear them sometimes, but not always, because we’d have to get Covid to be able to pass it to the kids, which is unlikely. Hoping for expanded kid access in the fall.

@PewKailei There is so much more to life than monetary value. Based on your description, it sounds like the best option is to add the suite and move them in. It will work way better for your family that way, which adds SO MUCH value to your quality of life. Esp if it’s a forever home.

@yashauthor Thanks, @yashauthor!
