The Parkingtons' house is finally decorated for Spring instead of Christmas - that took long enough! Heather got out all of the boxes from the attic and replaced their winter clothing with Spring dresses that have been packed away for the last six months. It was so refreshing to fill up their closets with pastels and white lace after the months of dark plaid and long sleeves.
The Larson family is trying hard to get going on a planned schedule, even though none of them are really that type of person. Anna is the only one who continues to successfully do their chores.
Lisa and Suzanna had a race at the clothes boutique the other day to see who could come up with the best reason to buy a bolt of blue satin. They both wanted to have Cristal make it into a ballgown, so they fought hard. In the end, Lisa won because she thought her red hair and blue eyes would look better in it than Suzi's blonde. So Suzi settled on a different bolt of fabric to be HER new ballgown, and they both submitted their orders to Cristal forthwith. They have also been gathering sewing projects together to make fashionable modern clothing at sewing circles.
Mei Mei and Vera are VERY happy with their new home in the new bank roof, and have decorated it with carpets and hanging silks. They don't bother Lisa too much unless they feel like things are getting boring, and they spend most of their time hanging out of the roof and looking around town square.
Laura and Paul went rock climbing by the river, which was a great idea until Paul let go of the line because he "saw a fish." Laura slipped sideways and was soon hanging by her harness out over the river, yelling at Paul, who was a little sheepish.
So town square is having a good 'ol time, and around here in Pleasantville the dolls could not be happier that Spring is coming at last!
