Not many places use first Sunday in September for Father's Day though. I think it's us, New Zealand and like Fiji and Papua New Guinea and that's it.<br /><br />I would love to see the dads in SimsVille getting some Father's Day appreciation though! It might give you something to write about if you're ever stuck for ideas in the appropriate month. ;) That's pretty much the reason I wrote it in here!<br /><br />Oh, don't worry, that office will be getting a makeover! Madelyn and I will get our way. ;) And yeah, if one of the boys wanted the business and would be well-suited to it, they would get it, no question. Seeing they're not though, I think Lila is a good compromise. I think she'd do great. :)<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-88597873160402038412014-06-18T10:37:20.766+10:002014-06-18T10:37:20.766+10:00Aw, John. :( I have an elder to kill off this roun...Aw, John. :( I have an elder to kill off this round and THREE next round. I'll be so sad when I have to finally do it.<br /><br />Single-minded is an excellent word to describe James. He's very set in his ways but he definitely didn't mind a little update on his telescope for his stargazing! I would hope that he'll be sensible with it and not stay out longer than he can handle..but I think James has rarely been anything but sensible!<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-62242795828070173282014-06-17T20:26:58.214+10:002014-06-17T20:26:58.214+10:00I never thought somewhere else in the world father...I never thought somewhere else in the world father's day and mother's day would be celebrated on other days, but I should have known, since we have 2 different dates for mother's day here in Belgium. Don't ask me why, I think it's silly, but well. We celebrate father's day on the second sunday of June, and mother's day on the second sunday of may.<br /><br />You've, once again, given me a nice idea to celebrate in SimsVille! <br />I loved the gift the boy got their dad, and James seemed to really enjoy it as well.<br /><br />I agree with Madelyn that the office could to with a make over, maybe she'll get him to allow her to redecorate a little bit.<br />It would be nice if one of the boys would run the business together, but I'm pretty sure Lila would do a great job as well, I'm sure she could handle the male-dominated business very well!Tanjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07054869544598274885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-60340217744350184312014-06-17T10:23:46.566+10:002014-06-17T10:23:46.566+10:00I can only hope once all my adults become elders, ...I can only hope once all my adults become elders, they'll still be that interesting. Granted, my John is interesting, but I'm about to lose him. :( The update was cute, and James was always rather single-minded, so the telescope doesn't surprise me! But fortunately, he has to come inside eventually.

He'll have to come inside sometime!<br /><br />All three boys have their own careers that they're happy with but even if they didn't, I can't see any of them running a car lot. Aaron is a Fortune sim who doesn't really suit his aspiration. He doesn't seem to care about money at all, or cars. Ethan is a nature sim and I can't imagine he'd be too keen on selling gas guzzlers and Connor doesn't have the charisma to sell cars and wouldn't want to do it anyway. So I think Lila will be the next best thing. More than likely, she'll be family one day and that'll be good enough for James. <br /><br />Heh, I can only take credit for Waldo! Waggles already had a name (because strays without collars apparently have names, lol). <br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-48106383917361338232014-06-15T12:48:12.764+10:002014-06-15T12:48:12.764+10:00Great to see these two will be spending more time ...Great to see these two will be spending more time together now that James will be working one job. Though now the boys brought him the telescope he might be outside for hours! lol<br /><br />What a lovely family though with the three boys. Surely one of them would be willing to take on their fathers business. <br /><br />Elders are seriously so sweet! I haven't played an elder couple in ages but hopefully that will change since I've changed to the rotation system. <br /><br />The dogs are adorable too. Love their names! ;)<br />Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04261344314447423273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-9777214390218584402014-06-14T10:23:59.288+10:002014-06-14T10:23:59.288+10:00I'm glad you think so!

I've pretty much decided at this point, I think, lol!<br /><br />I think I checked the dogs' personality and I think I remember them being different in that aspect. Thank goodness they have different collars though, so I can tell them apart at a glance! <br /><br />Heh, or she could have Audrey's problem - an ugly video arcade machine her husband wants to put in the living room, lol! Madelyn could definitely have it worse than a telescope in the backyard. :)<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-12219767751555089962014-06-14T05:09:01.695+10:002014-06-14T05:09:01.695+10:00Love the two pups, so adorable.

Novak Motors looks great from what I could see, I understand running out of steam. Cesar's Dad owns a pretend shop right now, good thing I'm not playing him too much or he'd be broke, so I haven't even mustered steam to begin to run out. ;) <br /><br />The Father's Day was great, and how cute to have two twin dogs, the grandkids were adorable cuddling with them. Do the dogs have the same personality too? Poor Madelyn sitting alone at the table, sipping her coffee/tea, while James is occupied with his new toy. So true to life right there! She should just be glad that it's not something like a fixer up car, then she'd have to lose driveway space on top of it all.

The telescope is going to keep him quite busy now. ;)<br /><br />Toddlers and dogs - I can never resist! I couldn't believe that little stray happened along either. And yes, both Waggles and Waldo know "Shake". James taught it to Waldo but Waggles already knew it when she joined the family.
