Would this be the general all-purpose technique for fixing obstinate things?: "hit it with a wrench"??

18 Smartember - "Oops! Dropped my cap!"

Addie dropped her cap behind the dryer, revealing another cleaning project... that can be put off to another day.

I wonder if they would like to toss their work clothes in the laundry and put on something dressy!

Are you trying to give them ideas? No wonder your dolls aren't very helpful!

21 Smartember - In every job that must be done there is an element of fun
Just find the fun and *snap* the job's a game!

Wine seems like a safety hazard, unless they're done with the power tools for the day.

Darn right. Mine are all little fashionplates who only work when they want to because it sounds fun.

They look like they're very carefully measuring there...

Addie and Janie attempt to roll up a sleeping bag.

Alliecat Thu Sep 23, 2021 3:51 am

Haha, brings back memories of rolling my own, although I never got anyone else caught in it.

Most people don't remember much after rolling their own.

Oh... you mean sleeping bags! Yeah, I still struggle, and it seems like no two work the same way.

"Owie!"
"I guess our moms were right, huh? When they said..."

28 Smartember - Let's Kick Up Some Dust!

The baling wire muffler bracket repair (actually fencing wire and a bent metal coat hanger) was a success. The girls tracked down a rubber muffler mount bushing so chewing gum was not necessary.

Alliecat Wed Sep 29, 2021 6:58 am

OK, is this something you go tearing over that wide landscape with yelling "Ya hooo!" ...?
