How Now Brown Cow?

“Dory my love, tonight I finally join you in elderhood!”

After work that night Seth did just that.  He did not fear getting older though he was a little bummed about all the aches and pains associated with old age.

After a quick makeover he looked almost exactly like he did when he was a teenager!  Well except for the gray hair.  Dory rushed right over to give him a nice long kiss.

After the party everyone in the house except the toddlers took a nap.  The burglar had interrupted their sleep last night and everyone was tired today.

The toddlers were busy reading their final skill books.  Just one day left of toddlerhood to go can they make it?

They do!  They get what little bit of time they have left to do whatever they want.

Hazelnut loves her horsey.

At first Cinnamon doesn’t know what to do at all and just cries.  Eventually she picks a nice boat to play with and settles down in the bathroom.

Seth has a small party (invited mostly family but there were a few party crashers) to celebrate his retirement.  He was happy to see Grimace and Daphne again.  Daphne’s situation often worried him.  She had gotten pregnant with that horrible Shark Racket’s child and had moved in with him, his father and his girlfriend!  Before she even had the babies (twins named Stuart and Charlotte) Shark and his girlfriend Alma moved away to a much smaller house and his father passed away.  So basically Daphne and Plum just inherited a huge mansion to themselves.

Deciding not to worry about it, Seth wandered down the hallway to find his youngest son, Donatello, posing for a portrait.  He gave him a great big hug.  He was going to miss Donatello but understood his need to go out on his own.

Now that Donatello had caught what he considered a perfect aquarium he was ready to explore the world looking for new and exciting kinds of fish.  Goodbye Donatello, good luck with everything!  We will try not to kill off your perfect aquarium.  The instant he moved out story progression informed me that he married and moved in with his girlfriend Pansy.

Spyro has no love for the fish but dutifully feeds them everyday.

“Tickle tickle!  Guess what sweetheart?  It’s your birthday!”

Both parents gather up the children and bring them downstairs and outside to their cakes.  Bunny takes Hazelnut to her cake and Spyro takes Cinnamon to hers.

Hazelnut adds brave to her other traits and is now a brave, virtuoso and also a heavy sleeper.  She picked out a beautiful dress that made her feel just like a princess!

Cinnamon aged up lucky.  She is now a perceptive, lucky little girl with a love of the outdoors.  While she could appreciate a nice dress like the one her sister choose to wear, she never really felt very comfortable in them.  They definitely were hard to play outside in!  So she chose a skirt and vest with really sturdy leggings underneath.  She also made a pretty nifty wooden dagger so she could pretend to be a pirate!

The first thing Hazelnut rushes off to do is mop the puddle left on the bathroom floor after her slobby grandfather took his shower.

Cinnamon runs all the way upstairs to wash her cake plate in the sink instead of using the dishwasher.  Maybe it’s broken, I guess I should check.  While she is there she notices how gross it is in this bathroom.  Well hey since you noticed do you mind emptying those potties for me?  She did mind but she did it anyway.

Both girls rolled some wishes to learn some skills, as children often do.  Hazelnut ran off to the school to take a painting class and Cinnamon was off to the grocery store to take a fishing class.

After their classes the two met up at the community garden to hang out.

They spent the majority of the evening running all over the garden playing tag.

Just before they went home Cinnamon caught this bug to put in her room.

“That will be $125!   Oh and I broke your sink.  Ok bye!”

“Oh my!  That darn maid!”  *grumble grumble*

Cinnamon is proudly boasting about her fishing feats to her father.  Her fishing feats. . you mean that ONE class you took earlier today?

It’s ok though, Spyro doesn’t point that out and hurt her feelings or anything.  He just gives her a hug and smiles.

For the rest of the evening Hazelnut paints and Cinnamon goes fishing in the pond.

“Oh no, Dory isn’t going to like this. . . “

It’s ok though because fixing that shower got her the plumber skill challenge.

Cinnamon even helped mop up, the girls are so helpful!

To reward them for being such good girls grandma Dory cooks each girl their favorite food that night for dinner.  Hazelnut got to have cheese steak and Cinnamon got tri tip steak!

Random shots

Seth is just too adorable when he makes his absent minded faces.

Hey I see you playing video games Bunny!  Get back to your writing!

Spyro and Cinnamon spend some time bonding while playing video games.

Last but not least, I figured that all the random elderly people would stop hurting themselves on my trampoline after that lady died last chapter.  But noooo they keep flocking to it like mad.  Suicidal old biddies.

Thanks for reading!  Just got done installing fast lane stuff so tune in next time for some neat new cars most likely!
