Tim and Kayla felt like they were handling life with twins about as well as they could. They were both so glad that Kevin was good at being able to entertain himself so they had time to handle the twins.

While Tim was so happy to have Jennifer, his sweet little girl, he did not hold any less love for his newest son Ryan. Both Jennifer and Ryan were good babies, but they did keep everyone busy.

After a little while, when the twins were doing better sleeping through the night both Kayla and Tim were getting better sleep. That made Kayla feel more and more like herself again and she found herself enjoying preparing breakfast again.

Kevin was doing very well and really enjoyed reading his books now on his own. He probably wasn’t really reading them so much as looking at the pictures, but he really enjoyed them.

Kayla was getting out to spend time with the chickens once again. She was very happy to spend time with them and collect the eggs almost every morning. She was very happy to see some of the new chicks that had hatched growing up as well.

Even with all the work happening on a regular basis, Kayla didn’t do anything less for her kids. Kayla strove to be the best mom she could be, and with the long winter months continuing she was glad Tim didn’t have as much work on the farm so he could help with the twins.

Tim and Kayla took turns making sure Kevin was put to bed and read to nearly every night. Some nights the twins could still get restless, so keeping Kevin on a pretty regular schedule was more and more important to Tim and Kayla.

One morning after there was a bit of fresh snow, Kevin had come down to check out the chickens and Kayla took the moment to have some fun with Kevin outdoors. When Kevin wanted to “fly” Kayla took him up to the large balcony and played with him up there. It wouldn’t be long until they had 3 kids running around as the twins were getting ready to walk, and Kevin would be headed to school before they knew it.

The new year came with a celebration. Kayla wanted to make up a bit for Christmas being a bit of a mess. So she invited a bunch of people over to celebrate with them. The kids were all down a bit early so they tried to keep it down a bit, but had a lot of fun.

The twins grew up very fast and it really did feel like no time before they really were toddlers, and that meant Tim and Kayla were back to having to watch the stairs and keep a closer eye on them when they were awake. Tim couldn’t believe how fast his kids were growing up. Almost all of his younger self’s dreams had come true. All that was left was to be the best gardener he could be.

With the twins officially toddlers Tim and Kayla got to work on keeping them entertained. It was a mixture and combination of tossing them around, reading them to sleep, and playing dolls with them whenever they could. The toddler beds were crammed into the room with Kevins, which made the room quite snug, but no one seemed to mind too much.

Life began to get into a routine with the twins now more mobile. It wouldn’t be long before Kevin would be in school, they would need to consider registering him for the next school year soon. It was also time to start potty training the twins, which Kayla and Tim were ready for so they could finally be done with diaper changes.

The twins spent a lot of time together playing and chatting. They were both very talkative and were getting better and better at it. They were also starting to get very quick. They spent a lot of time in the playroom area with the dollhouse and just babbling away.

Spring was beginning to find a bit of a foothold in the weather, and while there was still plenty of snow on the ground, the soil underneath was getting warmer and warmer and Tim was able to get out and plant some of the early spring plants. He was happy to be able to get some plants planted and knew his garden was growing.

It was hard to believe that it was already Kevin’s birthday again, but things come without input, and time proceeds on regardless of how Tim felt about it. Kayla handled all the preparations and set up a grand birthday for her oldest son. She had invited multiple people over to hang out with them and celebrate Kevin’s birthday.

Kevin enjoyed his party and is nervous but excited to start school. Tim and Kayla made sure to get him all the things he would need. It would only be a short time before the twins would be ready for school themselves, and with spring on its way, Tim knew he would need to get the farm in shape again.

Kevin got new clothes for school and looks very grown up to both Tim and Kayla. Hard to believe it has been such a short amount of time since Tim came to this place or since he fell in love with Kayla. He sincerely hoped one of them would want to take over the farm he was building someday.

I have been playing sims since TS1 and even played a little bit of the PS2 version and the mobile versions over time. Once I discovered challenges for TS2 I never looked back. I love the sims, the families I've been able to make, and play through the years, and connecting with people about them. I work from home as a QTC Admin for my company, have a cat I adore and have a million hobbies I feel like I will never have time to completely explore.
