Sadie has been babysitting this summer; this marks her first regular paying job. She has been employed by two families in our town. In both cases, the families have been very pleased with her work, and the children love her. This sweet, hardworking girl is getting her first taste of having hard-earned cash in her pocket, other than allowance. We, as her parents, have always set an example of thrift: doing car repairs ourselves as often as possible, cutting coupons, using a clothesline, sewing, mending, and repairing clothing and household linens, gardening, canning, and mending and repairing household appliances.
In keeping with the values of her family, Sadie recently made a very exciting purchase. She made the decision to purchase a Justin Bieber Standee. After ruminating over this decision, she realized that if one Justin Bieber standee was a good purchase, two Justin Bieber standees would be an even better purchase. After all, why spend the $65.00 on school clothes when you can have twin Justins in your own home?
So, the days were spent in anxious anticipation and preparation for the arrival of the twins. Sadie was working at her babysitting job when the package finally arrived. When Sadie arrived home that wonderful day, she bore as patiently as she could Maggie's cries of "The Beavers Are Here! The Beavers Are Here!", and wasted no time informing Maggie "THEY ARE BIEBERS NOT BEAVERS!" Keith refused an offer to tour her room with its new occupants, so she brought them downstairs for him to see.
The twin JB's are currently ensconced in Sadie's room, where they will remain until the Beaver Fever runs its course....and I am convinced that this temporary feverish delirium has been caused by the temperatures we are currently living with in our corner of the world, 110 degrees in the shade. See the last photo of my thermometer outside my kitchen window for proof.
