I had to laugh at Kimberly sneaking in to Don's room. They all try it and hope to get away with it. Giving Connie the decorating job was a good idea, that would have calmed her down after being caught out. Your home sounded amazing, I would have loved it, too. Another lovely chapter in your book, Beth. :)) Sandra xxx

Comment from royowen
Connie gave you a hard time, I can remember the music director of a large church we attended mentioned, he thought parenting was easy, and wondered why people had trouble with their kids, he had two angels, then he had the third...? Beautifully written Beth, well done, blessings Roy
Typo : Was carrying a(n) Easter basket.

Thank you so much for the review and comments. My children all had things that concerned me but I loved them all anyway. None was the kind of problems the last one was, but she has morphed into a beautiful and sweet person.

Comment from Pantygynt
this was an enjoyable story to read as was the earlier episode I read a few days ago.
I noticed one or two minor points. Here they are.
'In wasn't long' - should be 'it wasn't long.'
'This tuned out to be a fun project...' - should be 'turned out'.
'...eaten the roof off of his house...' - The 'of' here is not necessary ary and in British English would be classed as an error despite its popularity. I am not sure what the position is in US English. It may be acceptable there.
'Still[,] until we made a decision...'

Comment from RetroStarfish
This is a wonderful chapter and I'm becoming addicted to reading about the antics of your family. I also like how the stories are interlinked - the puppy is a handful, but he stops Kimberly from sneaking in. Connie is a handful, but you tap into her creativity by letting her decorate the found room.
And, who finds a previously unknown room in a new house? What a great story.
One minor typo:
"This tuned out to be a fun project..." should be turned.

It seems you two had a busy life and always found projects to keep you busy. It's nice that you could agree with the issues of raising teenagers too.
I noticed one small error: "This tuned (turned) out to be a fun project for everyone."

Comment from Mistydawn
I'm so glad your new house worked out so well and an extra room too, what a pleasant surprise. Don and Kimberly seem very serious. It'll be interesting to see where that goes. It's a shame that Connie is still giving you grief. There always seems to be one in the family that won't settle down. I was at my wits end with my oldest, Cristina. The others weren't angels, but they were nothing compared to her. Pupper (pupper stuff) was like your pup. Thought everything is edible, including her human. I nicknamed her Jaws. Your story is well-written very interesting. I look forward to reading more.
