Just now I realized I was spelling Ileana's name incorrectly in a lot of posts. My own founder!
Oops! I'll fix that, I swear! ...Eventually.
It was the morning of the planned dinner party. Ileana was sleeping in late, tired from a long night at work. Gavin couldn't wait for food and ended up making scrambled eggs without me directing him to... And he set the kitchen on fire. And proceeded to stand and scream in the fire until J saved him. Thanks a lot, Gavin!!
I didn't get a lot of shots of the dinner party, but we pulled it off with a gold medal. Due to guests going into the fridge and thinking it was acceptable to pull food out themselves, the menu for the night was two chocolate cakes and a garden salad. I worked out, though.
Ileana has off the next day as well, so we scheduled the wedding for that day. In the morning, the household gathered to eat salad and fruit parfait around the table and discuss how the day would pan out.
Gavin finished cleaning up the house, Mitchell took care of the garden, Zoe caught another angelfish, J gussied himself up, and Ileana made a beautiful cake......
...And started another fire. Two fires in two days?! Who lit that incense burner?!
Once the fire was put out (again) and a new stove and counters were purchased (AGAIN), Ileana dressed up in her wedding dress. It isn't the traditional princess dress, but I thought it was sassy and fun and cute for an outdoor wedding
The party went nicely, and much more smoothly than the dinner party. Here's my first wedding shot........J is the center of attention, as always!
Thankfully I did get a better one
Here's Ileana and Gavin sharing some delicious invisible cake!
And after checking Ileana's Master Chef progress I saw that the dinner party from the night before didn't register... Darn it! The Master Chef aspiration requires a silver medal dinner party. I'm not sure if it didn't register because it was a gold medal party, or if I swapped Ileana's aspiration at some point and forgot. Since Ileana only has two days off each week, I had her throw a quick, spur-of-the-moment dinner party after her wedding and purposely had her only score a silver medal on it. A second dinner party wouldn't have counted toward the 5 event requirement anyway, so no big loss.
Butternut gnocchi and garden salad! Yum!
Olivia Spencer-Kim-Lewis took out the trash after dinner! What a sweetheart!
Olivia invited Ileana to her birthday party the next day, but unfortunately Ileana had work and couldn't attend.
Sorry, Olivia!
In other news, we now have a spliced pomegranate tree and an orchid plant growing! One step closer to ambrosia!
J is now the father of two children: Liberty Lee's son, Reid, and Eliza Pancakes' daughter, Katelyn. That hasn't stopped him, though. In fact, he's feeling so confident that he's prepared some special costumes for when more "lucky ladies" visit.
Ileana has been promoted to Mixologist, and received another notice after returning home from work. She's eating for two!
Look at this teeny little belly!
Finally have some action happening in this series!
