Day in the Life: Robin Part 2 (Photostory) and A New Car!

When we left off with Robin's family, they were getting out of bed and headed to the kitchen for breakfast.

"So what's it going to be, waffles or cereal?"  (Robin)
"Ummm, do we have the cereal with all the colors?"  (Courtney)
"Well, let's check." (Robin)

 "I see Rice Krispies, Shredded Wheat, and way in the back is the cereal with the colors."  (Robin)
"Ooh goodie."  (Courtney)

Robin grabs, the cereal, a bowl, and the soy milk.

"Here you go.  You can get some juice after you eat."  (Robin)

Robin returns to the kitchen and gathers what she needs for the waffles.

"Ooh waffles."  (Ron)
"You want two or three?" (Robin)
"Sorry hon.  I can't stay for breakfast. We have a staff meeting this morning, and Lauren always provides breakfast.  Any chance you can stop by and have lunch with me, today?  We haven't done lunch at all this month."  (Ron)
"I don't think I can make it today.  I'm interviewing a new lady for the part time position, and the only time I could fit it in was on my lunch hour."  (Robin)

"Alright, then I will see you at home, later.  By the way, thanks for the shirt.  Where did you find it?" (Ron)
"It was in the closet."  (Robin)
"I don't know how I missed it.  Well I'm off.  Bye."  (Ron kisses Robin goodbye)

"Bye, Daddy!"  (Courtney)

"Ooh you have the good cereal.  Can Daddy have a taste? (Ron)
"I don't think so.  Mommy didn't give me a lot."  (Courtney)
"I sure hope you share better at school.  Now give me a hug goodbye."  (Ron)

 Ron leaves and Robin finishes fixing her breakfast of waffles, turkey bacon, and a banana.

 "Did you want a taste of my waffles?"  (Robin)
"No, but can I have a banana?"  (Courtney)
"I'll share mine with you."  (Robin)

 Robin breaks the banana in half and puts a piece in Courtney's bowl.
"And we need to hurry.  I still have to do something to your hair.  I should have combed it last night like I planned."  (Robin)
"Mommy, can my friend, Kourtney come over and play with me after school?"  (Courtney)
"Today?  I don't know about today.  I would need to talk to her parents first."  (Robin)
 
"Can you call her mom and ask her?"  (Courtney)
"If I get some time, I will.  If not, then we'll make plans for the weekend.  Now eat your banana, and go wash your hands.  I'll be there in a minute."  (Robin)

On another note.....I finally got the new Fiat and doll.  Mattel had it on sale for $12.50, down from $41.  I couldn't believe it.  The free shipping over $40 was still in play, so I bought a few Fashionistas that were on clearance.  I thought for sure they were clearing out these Fiats, but that's not the case.  It's now back to the $41.  So I guess Mattel will put certain things on special on certain days.  Most of the things I got on sale a couple weeks ago, are back to their original prices.

 I think we will see this car in action real soon.  Robin will be the first to use this one.

  1. I love the kitchen and the table and chairs. Did you build everything or did you buy them? Great buy on the Fiat. I was thinking about the car myself but didn't want to spend $40 on it.

    1. Cindi - Thanks. No I didn't build anything in this dio. My dolls don't get a lot of my handmade goods. That stuff goes to my store for sale. My dolls get treats occasionally when I have to do a prototype, or I make a mistake. Poor dollies.

  2. Love Courtney's comment to Ron about the cereal. Children are incredibly honest and self-serving.

    Congrats on the car. It was probably an excellent idea to stock up on Fashionistas for the articulated bodies that Mattel is discontinuing. I keep telling myself I need to grab a few.

    1. DBG - Courtney was not down with sharing her colorful cereal. I bought 2 more Artsy's and a Racquelle. We have a doll show at the end of the month. I will be looking for cheap articulated bodies.

  6. Very realistic story, the furniture is beautiful, and the banana, first whole and next in half, is such a great detail! It's things like that what make your stories extra real :-).

    1. jewel snake - They both lead full lives. They don't get a lot of time to do fun things, but that may change in the near future.

  9. Fantastic deal on the car! Robin seems like a good wife and mommy.

    Off topic: Think all the way back to Rod and Danielle's wedding. Tina the phychiatrist has twin sister. One twin is married to a Billye D Williams mold. Do you remember to whom the other twin is married? Forgive me if I have asked you this before. Thanks.

    1. AG Lanc - I know. I can't believe I got that car for that price. Are you asking me who the psychiatrist is married to? She wasn't married. She was dating Leslie's dad, Harrison, who owns "The Den".
