The Yarns, Clementine part 5

[yarnsim]

Me (eleme!): Good morning! Have a great first day at school Russet!
Russet: OKAY!!! *is full of enthusiasm*
eleme: Go get 'em Brooke, have fun in outer space!



So apparently nothing interesting happened all day, and here is Brooke returning from work. PROMOTED! WHOO! Lifetime want : achieved! WIN!



The fam throws a quick little party for Peat, as it's his birthday.
Everyone: *sings and cheers* Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you!



Ben: *birthday tosses Peat*
eleme: Happy Birthday dear Peat! Happy Birthday to you!
Clementine: Aarrrghh! I'm hungry!
Everyone else: *is bored*



So Peat grew up and then I promptly got distracted by this kid who came home on the bus with Russet. His name is Thomas Fuchs (son of Shiloh and Nawwaaf Fuchs).









He makes great smustle faces (if only my picture taking skills were as good)!!



In fact, his faces were so great



... that I almost missed this.







... that doesn't look like the face of victory!!



:(



[insert witty caption here]



Ash: I'm going where?!?!
Grim: *says something I can't make out*



Ash: Oh thank you! *accepts readily*
eleme: *tears up*



eleme: I'll miss you Ash. *sniffles*



ooh, Brooke :( I'm sorry darling.





*sadface*



...is that the Grimmy again??



Oh snap!



Brooke: *whistles*



Grim Reaper: *in booming annoucy voice* Greetings, Brooke Yarn! You have lived out your days, now myself and the hula girls are here to collect you.



Brooke: *sadface* You are?



Grim Reaper: Yep, we are. *mutters to himself* If they had told me, I would have been here earlier when I picked up the husband; but nuuu, they never tell me the whole story! *normal voice* Come, come now. We've got to get going.
Brooke: Do you know where my husband is? Where are we going?



Grim Reaper: Yes, yes, he's already there! *whispers inaudibly*
Brooke: Oh! *accepts drink* Ash!! I'm coming! Goodbye Clemetine! Goodbye Marmalade! Goodbye Ben and ... *voice fadiing* ...



I know it's sad, but it also strikes me as remarkably *sweet* that these two are weeping for the loss of their mother-in-law.



Oh Nate!! There, there! *pats*



:( Peat! I'm sorry! Yes, this is toddler-Peat. Toddler-Peat being sad and aspiration tanked because his grandparents just died (hooray predictable toddler fears).



But see, isn't he cute!? No elf ears on this one, but adorable little blue eyes, blonde hair, and the epic nose from his father.



Russet, meanwhile, is off playing outside. In the dark. But at least he found his preferred hobby! (And it's one I don't have the plaque for yet!)



Bug hunting fail.





:( no bugs yet.



WIN!



Clementine gives little Russet some attention, which does them both good.



And Russet is still outside.



whee!



oh HAI Marmalade and Nate!!



still outside. Isn't he cold yet?? Someone make that boy some hot chocolate!



Marmalade and Nate: *enjoy some snowy hottub goodness*
Nate: I know it doesn't make sense Marmalade, but that's the way life is - it's like a giant jigsaw puzzle.



Marmalade: *snuggles up close* A jigsaw puzzle? How so?
Nate: Um, well, you're trying to make a ... you don't have the ... oh it was a good thought and now I'm all distracted!



... yeah.



Marmalade: Well here's another piece of the puzzle.
Nate: Hmm?



Marmalade: I love you, Nate.
Nate: I love you too. 8D



Clementine: You know, I was looking through our honeymoon photo album this afternoon. Wouldn't it be nice to go back?



Ben: Back to the sun, and water, and looooong clear beaches? *sticks hand in sink for emphasis*



Clementine: haha! Yes!
Me: Wow Ben, can you do that again?



Ben: What, you mean this?! *sticks hand through sink again*
Me: lol, yep. You've got skillz!
Ben: But seriously, Clementine, I think that's a great idea. It'd be great to get out of the cold and spend some quality time together on the beach. After what's happened recently I think it sounds just right!
Clemetine: Then you'll be really pleased with what I just found out.



Ben: What, what?
Clementine: When I was going through dad's will I learned that he owned a piece of land on the island, and he left it to me!
Ben: Whooo! Island vacation!!
Clementine: Want to help me book the tickets? *wiggles eyebrows*
Ben: You betcha! *grins*



Marmalade: *leaves roses in front of door, dreamily thinking of Nate*

And then she proceeds to repeat this action 20394820 times. OH RLY! leaving roses?! YOU ARE?! It's srs bznz, gotta do it just right you know.



Marmalade: I'm stinky. Can I go now?
eleme: Please! lolz



Oh Peat! Is it that time already?!



That was a fast and rather un-photographed toddler-hood!



Happy Birthday, child-Peat!!



Peat, with an appropriately brown make-over. Isn't he just SO CUTE!



Nate and Marmalade, again.



*GASP* Could it be?!

Next time with the Yarns:
Dear Post Master,
Please put our mail on hold for the next week. We are going on vacation. We'll collect it all when we return. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Clementine Yarn.
