Wallace - 1 Bridge St - Round 5

| | Comments (0)

Romance was in the air last season with the Wallaces. Jennifer began dating Jeffrey Duncan. David, who is very particular about Ms Right, went on a few dates but is "still looking" and Mary had a bit of a lovers triangle going, although she couldn't quite understand Ross' jealousy, considering he told her he just wanted to be friends.

The romance between Jennifer and Jeffrey Duncan continued to blossom.

Entrepreneur Jeffrey wanted to help Jennifer prepare for her adventure career. So he bought her a top of the line telescope.

Snoopy, embarrassed by not alerting the house to the attempted burglary, seemed determined to be a better guard dog.

Uh oh. Bad idea Snoopy.

Pew!

Mary was promoted to Investigative Reporter. Jennifer suggested she write her first piece on the environment.

Still looking for Ms. Right, David employs the help of matchmaker Gertrude Jackson. She set him up on a date with Stacie Wheeler. It went ok, but she was too old for him.

Mary was thrilled when David told her he wanted to go to university. She just hoped he would remember to study.

David headed off to the Royal Shakespeare College having earned the Kim Prize for Hygienics.

Mary was promoted to Magazine Editor for her piece on the environment. Only one more promotion needed to reach Media Magnate.

The next morning Jennifer left for university. Apparently she wanted to make sure Jeffrey was not going to skip university since his business was obviously doing well.

Jennifer earned the Quigley Visual Arts Stipend as well as the Sim City Scholars Grant. She would be joining her brother David in the same dorm at the RSC.

Snoopy was getting a little old to be working, so Mary called and officially retired him. Good dog!

Suffering a little from the Empty Nest Syndrome, Mary decided to treat herself to a Far East vacation. She invited her current love, Joel the Mailman to accompany her.

While on vacation, she learned to teleport from the local ninja. That's a skill that could come in handy for a journalist.

snapshot_d532fc09_754e7da3

And she took some time to relax. However, she and Joel cut their vacation short when Mary got wind of a breaking story. Seems there is more to Ross Morgan's twins then he's divulging.

snapshot_d532fc09_954e7e01

Round 5 Summary: Mary received 2 promotions and is now 1 promotion away from her LTW. David and Jennifer went off to the RSC with plenty of scholarships and Snoopy retired from the Showbiz career. Mary took Joel (the mailman) on a short Far East vacation.

It's hard to believe Mary's children, toddlers when they arrived in Stratfordshire, are now teens. Son David wants to find just the right girl. Even if it takes him 50 dates to do it. While Jennifer longs for a life of adventure. This season was all about the romance

David went on date with Sue Hunt. She was the 3rd girl he had asked out this week. Sue seemed nice, but was into books like his mother and sister. Definitely not the one.

Mary was promoted to horoscope writer.

snapshot_d532fc09_f54676fa

David asked Bonnie Bridges on a date. David felt a little sorry for her, since everyone seemed to ignore her now that she was a vampire. But she was a little too forward and there was no chemistry.

snapshot_d532fc09_d54678c4

Ross caught Mary on a date with Joel. Not sure what he expected after telling her she repulsed him right after their woohoo.

snapshot_d532fc09_f54681b2

Joel was upset by the whole thing at first. But Mary convinced him she really was attracted to him and not just using him to get even with Ross.

snapshot_d532fc09_75468304

Sabrina Reese was David's 5th date. No chemistry yet, but they seem to hit it off pretty well. Only time will tell if these two are destined for each other.

snapshot_d532fc09_d5468727

Jennifer reached the top of the teen Adventure career.

snapshot_d532fc09_354687dd

She didn't spend all of her time working and studying though. She went on a dream date with Jeffrey Duncan.

snapshot_d532fc09_75468fe4

These 2 are meant for each other, even if they don't know it yet.

snapshot_d532fc09_f546926a

Off for the summer, David did some landscaping at the house. He added brick walkways and outdoor lighting as well as planted a few more rose bushes.

snapshot_d532fc09_1546998c

Poor Sabrina. When David didn't return her calls, she decided to surprise him with this lamp for his room. He still avoided her. She was creeping him out, following him about after just one date.

snapshot_d532fc09_15469a65

David's landscaping attracted more than jilted dates. Burglar John Cross paid a visit to the Wallace house.

snapshot_d532fc09_75469bf0

He looked things over ...

snapshot_d532fc09_75469bba

And then noticed the alarm, which woke everyone in the house except for Snoopy. Well Snoopy is a Star not a Guard dog.

snapshot_d532fc09_95469c04

He tried to charm his way out of it, pretending to be a family friend playing a prank.

snapshot_d532fc09_15469c47

But Officer Rosie was too smart to fall for it.

snapshot_d532fc09_75469c4d

And gave him a ride to the understaffed Stratfordshire Police Dept.

Round 4 Summary: Mary was promoted to Horoscope Writer. David went on a few more first dates, bringing his total to 5. Jennifer reached the top of the teen Adventure career and earned 2 scholarships, the Quigley Visual Arts Stipend and the Sim City Scholars Grant. She went on a dream date with Jeffrey Duncan who told her he was really into girls that were mechanically inclined. John Cross attempted to rob the house, but was apprehended by Officer Rosie.

The previous season at the Wallace household saw the twins David and Jennifer become teenagers. David wants to be sure to find Ms. Right and has a lifetime want of having 50 first dates. He didn't waste any time getting started. His first date was with Felicia Patrick.

snapshot_d532fc09_d54403d6

David's mother Mary on the other hand, went out on a date with neighbor and friend Ross Morgan. They had been flirting off and on at Lures 'N Mates and so the two single friends decided to go on a date. Things heated up rather quickly and they participated in a few extracurricular activities.

snapshot_d532fc09_f54415dd

Mary was glad Ross had convinced her eyeglasses were sexy. Her vanity had prevented her from wearing glasses even after she had come home from work with headaches.

snapshot_d532fc09_75441621

What?! You don't find me attractive? But, what about what happened in the car?

snapshot_d532fc09_d544166c

Listen you, I don't want to be just "friends with benefits"!

snapshot_d532fc09_554416a4

Mary put on a brave face with the children. She was too humiliated to tell them what had happened on her date with Ross. She listened to David chatter on to his sister Jennifer about summer vacation and buried treasure maps.

snapshot_d532fc09_154420f9

Snoopy was promoted to star and thus reached the top of the showbiz career. At least someone in this household is doing well at their career.

snapshot_d532fc09_f54421c4

Mary decided it was time to follow her friend Susan's advice and get over Ross. She struck up a conversation with Joel Barnett, the mailman. He's quite shy, and also quite ticklish.

snapshot_d532fc09_55443e99

But what a hunk! Delivering the mail keeps Joel in tip top shape.

snapshot_d532fc09_95443f0e

David fell behind in his English homework because he was so busy chasing girls. Luckily Mary had time to help him catch up.

snapshot_d532fc09_9544402f

Round 3 Summary: David went on 2 dates and was awarded the Quigley Visual Arts Stipend and the Sim City Scholars Grant. Jennifer was promoted to Spelunker in the Teen Adventure career. Snoopy reached the top of the Showbiz career. And poor Mary. She was finally promoted to Obituary Writer but she discovered Ross Morgan was just looking for fun and not a commitment.

Mary Wallace found this small 3 bedroom house on Bridge St. It had a modest yard for Snoopy and was close to the park.

Although very fond of Snoopy, she was concerned about him living in the house with the twins. The clerk at Banquo's Pets assured Mary this house was just right for a beagle.

It seems Mary's concerns about his having the run of the house were not unwarranted.

Bad Snoopy!

Snoopy acts out whenever he wants attention.

Some of Mary's neighbors dropped by to welcome them to the neighborhood. Seated next to Mary, in the leather bomber jacket, is Ronald Duncan. Next to Ronald, is Maria Macbeth, who lives across the street. And to Mary's right, in the white and red shirt, is Jerald Miles head of the Stratfordshire Garden Club.

Snoopy and Jennifer always seem to be playing together.

Mary had a very busy Fall. Feeding, entertaining, and potty training the twins was more than she could handle alone.potty train

So, on the advice of her boss, she hired a Nanny for the children. Elaine Bridges took care of David and Jennifer while Mary went to work. She even did some light chores around the house.
