They've already tried the "give you candy to like ow thing". Last week when they (STBX & ow) were here ow bought D9 the entire hardback set of the Harry Potter books in the trunk ($195) plus some other books and stuff. Nothing like trying to buy affection.
The evening she came home D9 said she thought ow had been TOO nice. Smart kid.
I do feel for her. She also said that she told her dad she would come to NJ for the weekend but she didn't want to come for the 2 weeks in the summer. According to her his response was fine, come for the 3 days this month then. Granted he might be waiting to see how the weekend goes and how she does over the next few months. But as of right now she is happy b/c she doesn't think that she has to go this summer if she doesn't want to. But that seems like such a childish response.
We just watched Auntie Mame. I forgot how much I like that movie. Tomorrow we're making cookies and D5 has a bday party to go to. D9 and I will start making her Valentine's for her class. Then the kids are going to my folks while I go have dinner with my sister, BIL, brother and SIL. Should be a great day.
