The Snijders Family

Adam is 25, Mariëtte is 28 and Bethany is 6

(Emily Spits is 5)

Narrated by Mariëtte

I'm still really glad that Bethany and Adam get along so well. They both adjusted to the situation so well, and they really seem fond of each other.

At the beginning of summer break Adam took Bethany to Belio's Bunk in SimsVille. She was allowed to pick out a toy, and kept running from one end of the store to the other one.

Adam eventually calmed her down and took her to pick out the toy.

I'm sure she had as much fun picking out the toy as she had playing it. I can only say I love watching her play with it, and have so much fun.

As a surprise Adam aslo bought her a kite, and Bethany has been playing with it every evening.

Sometimes I feel sad that Bethany is still an only child. I know she has 2 brothers with her dad, but they are much younger. She never complains about it, and she's always happy.

But at times it breaks my heart to see her playing on her own, or with the cat.

She does have friends, and she brings the home quite a lot, espcially this holiday. I sometimes have the feeling Emily Spits lives her.

It's been pretty hot this summer, and the girls had fun throwing waterbaloons.

We sometimes catch them wispering things in to each other, and giggling. Of course whenever Adam or I come close, they just stop talking.

Emily is a really nice girl, and I'm glad she and Bethany are friends.

I love the fact that we have a garden, but it's kind of small,so whenever I have the day off, and the weather is great, I try to take Bethany to the beach.

She really loves building sandcastles, and looking for seashells, but she adores swimming, and she pretty good at it as well.

She's only 6, so I'm keeping a close eye on her, most of the time I go in to the water with her.

Those trips to the beach have become a rare thing though. I've been very busy at work, and my days off are often spend in my sewingroom because of it.

It doesn't help the Adam recently got fired from his job, becasue of something completely silly! He's checking the internet daily and is sending out emails, but so far he hasn't had any luck.

He has been thinking about what he wants to do, and he thinks photography might be his thing. He wants to take lessons for it, but I'm not completely sure about it. We're not exactly poor, but we kind of need the money, and I don't think it's wise to spend it at lessons.

I'm sure we'll be able to manage though, even if he takes those lessons. Besides he doesn't have a job at the moment, he might be using his time to become better at what he wants to do.

His classes are only a few hours a day, which still gives Adam some free time. He has taken it upon himself to do the entire household in those hours, so I can relax when I'm home.

Adam has been a huge help with the household, and it sure has taken a load off my shoulders. But one thing that always makes my day, after a hard day at work, is being greeted by Bethany when I come home, and I really miss those moments when she's with Bai.

Adam and I have been talking about adding the our family, but we both feel we should wait a little bit longer, and enjoy the little family we have.

As much as I love mt daughter, and I miss her when she's with her dad, I kind of enjoy those moments too, when it's just me and Adam. Just the 2 of us.

Notes:

• Adam rolled the "Laid off! Ugh, that blows! Good luck in finding a new job"-ROS, so he got fired. Since I assinged him his job before using a good system, I really wasn't too sad about it. I know use another system, and he's going to be a photographer. It hasn't come up yet, but if not next round, I'll just let him get it.
• Nor Adam or Mariëtte has rolled the want to have a baby yet, which is part of the reason I didn't took them of birth control, the other reason is that I have yet again more than enough new babies this round, and I'm only half way. Both their IFS is 5, and since Mariëtte will be 30 next round, I do think I'll take them off birth control next round.
• I still need to write my sidebar-posts, but I'm terrible at these kind of things, so I always prepare myself, write drafts at work before writing the post, but so far I haven't found the time yet, I know it's needed so I'll do my very best to do them soon!
• I also still need to give Adam a profile-page. He deservers one since he's now married to a playable.
