To Monster Mash | Previous Chapter | Next Chapter
Hello and welcome back to another Easter Egg challenge update! It has been too long since I posted, and really, since I even played this challenge. I just wrapped up the Monster Mash challenge, so if you are interested in that challenge, it’s fully blogged and posted. The last time we were with Tara, she had expanded the house to make room for the baby, which turned out to be twins, Cadbury and Robin. The rest of the update was mostly taking care of the twins, and no points were gained. Let’s dig into the next week!
Week 6
We start the week with Tara taking care of little Robin. Also, I finally got a chance to show off the easter egg doors. It’s, of course, a play on the That’s All, Folks! from Looney Tunes.
Once the babies were taken care of, Tara went out to take care of the bees. We have not had a lot of time to run any of our yard sales since Tara has been very busy with the twins.
After making sure all the other living beings in and around the house were taken care of, Tara was finally able to work on her gaming. This would also help her get another promotion. I am DETERMINED to at least get ONE tournament win.
It’s tummy time, and Robin can do tummy time all by himself now. Cad is a bit behind his brother. He’s intense, and it has been showing.
The changing table was DISGUSTING!! Ugh, so Tara took some time to quickly clean it while the babies napped on their playmats.
Tara was out of family leave, and it was time to deal with her rival anyway. A nanny was hired instead of sending the boys to daycare, and he did a really good job taking care of them.
Tara grabbed quite a nice computer from work, not really sure how she pulled that one off. Then she also discovered she likes cooking.
Don came by and spent a bit of time with Tara, and probably to meet his boys. I wish I could blame Don for giving us twins, but I’m pretty sure it’s Tara’s fault.
Don proves, in yet another save, to be a decent father and help Cad while Tara takes care of Robin. Robin is already able to sit up now, while Cad still needs help with tummy time.
Tara needs programming to get her next promotion, after dealing with the rival, whom I decided to sabotage. I know it’s the “mean” way to do it, but Tara needs to get her mischief maxed out!
Our new favorite person, the nanny, is back again while Tara heads out to work and is busy helping keep Robin in good spirits. He can now scoot around the house and has become a little escape artist.
Just look at this cutie though!! He’s so adorable!
I sent Tara around to meet and try to befriend some of the other “easter egg” sims in the neighborhood, and while at the Goth’s house, she couldn’t help but take a little something for herself.
Tara finally bested her rival and opened up paths to promotion again! I am so glad it’s done.
It was doubly good timing as there is more to celebrate tonight. When Tara gets home, she invites everyone she has met recently over.
Sadly, Tara didn’t change into her party wear, which is one of the easter egg outfits, but we’ll have to try again later. Still, it’s Tara’s birthday, and she is now officially an adult.
It isn’t JUST Tara’s birthday, though, but the twins’ as well. Robin did a great job on all of his milestones and earned so many.
Cadbury did all right, not as good as Robin, although he did learn to blow a raspberry, which Robin did not.
Tara got Robin and brought him to the cake first. She helped him blow out his candles.
Next up, it was Cadbury’s turn to blow out his candles so they could both become toddlers!
Robin will remain wearing a lot of blue, and he is now an Angelic toddler. Yes, that will be nice and calm. Next up, our little Cad, who will continue to be in mostly red, is now a Clingy infant, because of COURSE he is. I’m sorry, the game is trolling me with you, Cad.
The party continued, and the boys got some food. You can see our start to the postcard collection back there on the wall. Where is Tara, you ask?
She was busy upgrading the cribs to be toddler beds for the boys. They were getting sleepy, and so was Tara, so it needed to get done right away.
With the party over and the cribs upgraded, Tara works to read both boys to sleep, hoping for an easy first night.
The hits to Cad keep coming, unfortunately, when we discover the boys’ first toddler quirks. Robin loves to be carried, which isn’t going to happen much, but that’s ok. Cad is a light sleeper, which means EVERYTHING wakes that kid up.
Amongst all the chaos, Tara finally decides that she likes programming, which is probably just as well since it’s her current job.
The nanny has been an absolute lifesaver in this save. It’s difficult being a single mom for Tara and having to leave her babies. But this way, I ensure they get some good skilling in!
They play together really well, and Cad is such a cutie, even if he is clingy.
He’s also a little singer, so he’s always trying to sing to the nanny. I’m sure it probably gets old, but it’s sweet.
Daddy Don came over and hung out with the boys for a while as well. Cad even managed to corner him in the hall to sing some songs and babble at him about nothing.
Tara finally got to the branching path of the career and is going to become an eSport Gamer, because MAYBE that will help us with the tournaments. I have no idea.
Any free time she gets right now Tara is working on games. Usually, Blicblock until we can win a tournament. I’m not even sure it’s possible in the game’s current state, but I’ll do everything I can.
Luckily, the boys are mostly able to entertain themselves now, working on skills and hanging out with each other.
The game suddenly throws us the rest of the twins’ quirks. Poor Cadbury gets hates wake up time to go with his light sleeper. That poor kid. Robin gets that he LOVES wakeup time and he loves water.
The week is now full of toddler training. I believe both boys are at level 2 of the potty skill, so they can do that on their own, and it’s just skilling and skilling and skilling.
The nanny does all he can. Plays with the boys, feeds them, and listens to them babble on. He really is a good nanny.
Tara tries her hand at another painting, but still cannot get any of the easter egg paintings. It’s getting discouraging for her, and for me. It’s going to be another 0-point week.
I got a play tent for the boys so they could go play in there. It’s really cute to watch them play together in the tent and grow their imagination.
Cad took a turn on the slide and did eventually get scared because it was too fast, but it’s a quick way to earn some movement.
After coming back inside, he was able to get the nanny to do some flash cards with him and worked on learning his numbers. The boys are doing really well in their skills overall.
That is where this week wraps up, and while a lot was going on, sadly, none of them were point-earning, so we still have 175 points. I don’t think we are going to be very successful at this challenge, but we still have a lot of time left, and once the boys are in school, that should free up Tara a lot. Thank you for reading, and I hope you will give the Monster Mash a shot if you haven’t already, as we will be back with them soon, I think!
