Bailie 11 | Rules | Family Tree | Heir Poll | Bailie 13

Hello and welcome back to the Otts again. I believe, by the end of this update we are going to be in heir poll territory. It’s hard to believe we are already through Bailie’s generation (or almost at least) but time just flies. So last update we saw Cordelia and Calvin grow up and had some successes in building points. So let’s see how we do now.

These kids are pretty close, and I am pretty sure we are going to end up having a pretty close generation here. I did manage to get enough money to expand the house some, which you will see later, but then they couldn’t pay the bills right away, so this family is still struggling a bit.

Bailie is still working on building up painting. I’ll admit, I got a little laxed, and I think she is going to just BARELY get through level 8 so she can immortalize herself. We have done great with the kids, I haven’t managed Bailie as well.

The kids love to whip out their phones and show each other pictures of things. It’s pretty funny to see them gathered up like this so often.

There is also still a huge love of dancing in this family. You may remember Adalyn actually maxed dancing last time because it’s a favorite past time around here.

Speaking of Adalyn, she has been fairly quiet of late. She has started working out some, which might not be a horrible thing. I don’t want to lose her earlier than I have to. She is close to maxing parenting, but she isn’t going to get it done with her own kids I don’t think. She’s only like 30% of the way there.

Calvin kept sleeping in random places and I realized I had never assigned him a bed. After this I had Bailie put him to bed in one of the kids beds and that seemed to help.

Bailie is working out a lot, and the family is on a diet of almost nothing but salads. I watched a bit about what the different equipment and stuff does and how food has calorie counts in this game, which is likely why most of my sims get a little curvy.

Hi Audra! We do miss having you around. Thanks for cleaning up all the puddles. Of course, I think right after this she broke the sink, but hey, at least it was puddle free for a bit.

Britta has aged up to Adult. It looks as though none of the spares this generation have any inclination to get married or have kids. Both boys are single and with no kids. Britta, if you don’t remember, was Ariana’s only child.

Corey sits down to do his homework, which is great. I would love to get some more A’s from these kids. They are decently studious.

To help with the idea of building skills and doing homework I decided to create a household club, which was decided to be allowed. This changed slightly from this picture as I accidentally closed the window before I saved, but we allow homework, working out, dancing, reading and writing. They are not allowed to hack things, or sabotage stuff.

In order to get some skills up to three, another thing I hope the club does, Bailie plays games with the eldest 3 kids. They have a good time.

• 

• 

The first club gathering saw almost everyone working out. It was sort of funny to see so many of my sims suddenly finding work out equipment, or even dancing.

• 

• 

Right after the club meeting ended (actually it crashed when Bailie blue screened….just just glitched up from the computer chair and stood there and everyone else also froze….I had to reset Bailie) both Calvin and Cedric work on their homework. Adalyn is there for each of them, of course.

Then it’s hanging out with Calvin and Cordelia. I just love this family and their facial expressions. I think this gen might be the most expressive so far.

A picture of the whole family. Cedric couldn’t wait for Bailie to be done with the salad, and you can see Julia is out haunting us tonight as well. From the clothes I think most everyone was working out before dinner again.

Cedric, Julia….while I appreciate the attempt of both of you to clean up the bathroom, it’s not going to help.

Julia: Well why not, it’s water, these are mops.

Cedric: Yeah, why not? Please don’t trip me with the mom great-grandma. Also, my feet are wet.

Well your feet are wet because I’m guessing the water soaked up into your slippers, and the reason it won’t help s because both the sink and the shower are broken.

Cordelia continues to randomly decide to work on school projects. Almost never the same one either.

Cordelia: I like to try different things….but they are boring.

Well at least you usually get a skill point from them.

Cordelia: Can we get a dog, or another cat?

Um….if you become heir we will, but before that, probably not.

Bryce was a committed bachelor his whole life. See Bryce, you didn’t really want to be heir back when we were voting.

Bryce: Oh I wanted to be, but you broke my heart so it never recovered.

Uh huh….I don’t think that us not picking you for heir made you a committed bachelor, especially since you still visit all the time.

Bryce: Yeah all right…..I like my niece and nephews, didn’t really want any of my own.

Yeah, that’s what I figured.

• 

• 

So this family hangs out together a lot. It’s really cute, and Bryce and Brodie visit often. I went ahead and made sure both had keys so they could come and go. I always feel bad when they are just standing around outside and Bailie isn’t there to greet them.

See, another instance of Cordelia starting work on a school project. It’s so funny how she was start it, but then a few minutes into working on it she gets bored and walks away. Usually she leaves to go do homework, which I would think would be worse.

Aww, Arthur’s wife got remarried. She is a vampire, so I would imagine we will see more kids from her now that she is remarried and Arthur’s kids are all YA’s or older now.

So this is a tiny glance at the expanded downstairs. Upstairs we added another bathroom, even though we haven’t ever had issues on that front I wanted to make sure they were good. So the one bad thing about the household club doing work outs is everyone always get really energetic. I try and turn off any emotional auras for it, but still.

Which leads to the kids not wanting to sleep. We were doing SO WELL Corey! -5 points.

I used Adalyn’s one adult free action to get her to make a drink. I keep hoping she will work on this aspiration on her own eventually, but so far, this one drink is it.

She does help Bailie get the last logic point Bailie needs in order to get a promotion at work. Adalyn also got a promotion, but I didn’t get a picture of that promotion.

Corey came home with our first teen A I believe. That is a +5, so at least Corey made up for his pass out. The household club is helping earn up skills, even if we haven’t got a ton of homework done during the meetings.

• 

• 

The energetic mood in the house does cause a lot of workouts to happen. Bailie gets really into working out for a bit, and I discovered the joy of drinking the energy drink and if I had known about this before Bailie might be doing better.

Everyone does enjoy reading during the club meetings as well. As we continue with this club we will need to buy some additional book on the different topics.

Little Cheyenne is now a child. If you don’t remember this is Adalyn’s sister, Rosaline’s, youngest daughter.

Cedric: …..and then I had to give my speech. How do you follow that?

Adalyn: I’m sure you did fine honey

Adalyn, you have food at home.

Adalyn: I wanted a burger!

Oh, well, I guess that makes sense. I know we are on a salad kick at home.

Adalyn: Yes, and I needed a burger! Besides it’s my birthday!

• 

• 

That’s right, it is Adalyn’s birthday. It’s so weird to see her with gray hair now. I’ll probably give her a bit of a make-over later. She still looks good. I’m not ready for this gen to be done!

Oh Cedric, you don’t look so good.

Cedric: I’m so dizzy. I think Cordelia gave me the sickness.

Cordelia: Hey, got it from mom.

Ok, so you guys need to go to bed.

This sickness swept through the family. I actually got a notice about Calvin needing to stay home from school. I’ve never seen that before.

Bailie continued to work out over and over again. She jogs, swims, uses the punching bag, and the weight machine. We don’t have the money for a treadmill currently, but I would love to get one. I keep hoping she will reach it eventually.

Cedric comes home with an A as well. Congrats you guys! The twins have their A’s, and now we just have to get Cordelia hers +5 points.

These faces, just too funny. I love all of these kids. Their heir poll isn’t going to be easy I don’t think. I’m not sure who I want more.

Sadly, Cordelia had the, I’m energetic and don’t need to sleep “bug” and thus passed out. -5 points. I guess we are breaking even this update so far. I do love this dress by the way, I think Cordelia’s fashion sense is fun.

Right before the twins birthday Bailie managed to get her painting skill to level 8, which means it’s time to have her immortalize herself.

After finishing her portrait, it hangs on the wall with the other. That’s another +5 points for us. Outside of finishing up her aspiration, Bailie has completed the things she needed to do for this generation. Raised 4 kids, who are doing great, immortalized herself, and did get through almost all of her aspiration.

Then it was time to bake the cake and bring the twins to the cakes. Both grew up and while neither of them achieved a positive trait (they were each close on a couple, but didn’t quite get the line) they also didn’t lose us any points.

Corey ends up with Art Lover, Snob, and Romantic as his traits, and his brother Cedric ends up with Glutton, Romantic, and Neat as his traits. Corey will be going into the Criminal career and Cedric will be starting in Food.

That is going to wrap up the post for this time. It’s a bit longer of an update, but I will be posting the heir poll and it will be up for about a week. I’m excited to see who gets picked for the generation C heir.

Bailie 11 | Rules | Family Tree | Heir Poll | Bailie 13

Bailie 10 | Rules | Family Tree | Bailie 12

Hello and welcome back to the Otts family! I have felt like it’s been awhile since I played these guys, and even though you are getting the updates regularly, I had played ahead and taken a bit of a break so I’m excited to get back to these guys. The next post is likely to end in an heir poll, which I’m excited about! So without further ado, let’s check in on the family.

So as we open up the game, head to the family home and unpause the game, Calvin goes and does this. I don’t believe I would have had any chance to stop this. So that’s a start of -5 points already. Whoops.

As you may remember Corey and Cedric grew into teens at the end of the last update, and it was Corey that missed out on his A but just a smidge, so apparently he decided to get a head start on homework after getting Calvin to bed.

Adalyn has started standing around outside after work again, and instead of coming in to eat the food that is in the fridge she heads out to the food stand instead.

Adalyn: It’s quiet out here.

All the kids are at school. It’s quiet in there at the moment too.

Adalyn: But nothing is broken, or messy out here either.

Ok, fair enough. Although the house isn’t actually that bad right now either.

Bailie managed to reach another milestone….and this is proof that the house isn’t actually that bad currently! Still, way to go Bailie. She is now on the last level and I have no idea if she’s going to make it. I don’t know if I know what she needs to do to get the “maximum body form” or whatever it is. Still that’s a +5 points

Because she’s lazy it takes FOREVER for her to gain any fitness, but she also needs painting and is at level 6 in that. 2 more levels before we are allowed to immortalize her. She shouldn’t have any trouble getting there.

Adalyn does eventually come home and she maxes a skill! Way to go Adalyn!!! That’s +10 points.

Adalyn: What can I say, this is a good stereo, and I love to dance.

It has paid off! Now to just finish up parenting.

Adalyn: That shouldn’t be too hard, I am super mom Adalyn after all.

You are, you are more super mom than Audra…….

Audra: I am be dead, but I still am around you know.

You didn’t get to level 9 parenting all by yourself!

Cedric brings a friend home from school. They are kind of cute, not sure if they are a couple or just friends yet, but this could be a hint.

Not to be out done by his brother Cedric also does homework and helps to watch after Calvin. Calvin has 4 days or so to grow up and needs only 2 or 3 skill level’s to be a Happy Toddler, he should have no problems.

The pool is seeing more and more use. Adalyn uses if fairly frequently, and now that the twins are teens they seem more drawn to it now as well. If Corey keeps this up he should have no problems getting a B and then an A. The thing that sometimes holds them back is skills.

After having a nice swim, Corey heads in to read Calvin a bedtime story. I was hoping this would happen with Calvin. He is very doted on by his older siblings, as well as his mom’s.

If you remember Claire, she is now a child. If you don’t remember Claire, she is a cousin to all these kids. Adalyn’s sister Rosaline had her, and is pregnant again….or possibly had the baby (can’t remember for sure.)

• 

• 

Family meals can become a thing around here, especially on a holiday. It’s New Years for the Otts and they celebrate in a similar fashion to a lot of families. They have some food, take some naps, and relax.

They also play games together. I finally got the family a video game console, which for some reason I couldn’t find before and thought it was just the big virtual one, but I found it. Since the boys need skills, and Corey needs video game hours for his aspiration, we had fun together.

• 

• 

It also happened to be the romance festival, so I took the teens, Bailie and Adalyn there as well as Bryce and Brodie. They hung out for a while and then went home. Nothing overly interesting happened, and I got out of there before anyone passed out.

Back at home Adalyn chats with and watching Calvin on the potty. She might have even been potty training him. I can’t remember if he asked for help or not.

Then she teaches him to talk. His communication is already up to a level 4, so this might just max him out, but I’ll take the points. I cannot believe what a good mom Adalyn has been.

Ah ha, she had the baby. So this is Rosaline’s other daughter, Cheyenne, who is apparently now a toddler. Cheyenne is Claire’s sister, although I believe they have different dad’s.

• 

• 

The Hijink’s festival is back so I take the family. Part of why they are taking these trips is because Cedric needs to introduce himself to sims in 3 different neighborhoods. So I figured the festivals might be a good way to do it. Apparently Bryce wanted a selfie with this random celebrity. One of the sims kept passing out, but luckily not mine.

Corey is up early, his sleep schedule is getting a little off, and says hi to his grandpa Alan. Alan did at least get to meet Corey and Cedric as a baby, but passed before they were toddlers.

I would think with as much dancing as she does, that Adalyn would be a Dance Machine, but she isn’t. She is, however, family oriented, so dance parties with the kids are a must.

Cordelia gets herself an A in elementary school, which is great! She is well on her way to getting us even more points. That +5 points from her. This family is doing really well, it’s scaring me.

Calvin has maxed his potty skill! That’s another +5 points for us. I’m telling you this family is on a roll. Bailie, you are more than making up for the point loss of your dad’s generation at this point.

With another family meal we look at the fat that it appears we have made almost no change to Bailie’s fitness level even with all the work that we do. I am learning the things I need to do in order to help her reach her goals and I’m hoping to see improvement soon.

Audra: Booo!!!!

Cedric: AH!!! A ghost!

That’s your grandma Cedric. Hi Audra. So decided to scare some people huh?

Audra: You said I wasn’t a super mom.

No, I said that Adalyn was more of a super mom. She’s nearly maxed her parenting. You were also a super mom.

Audra: Well still, it’s fun to prank these boys once in awhile.

I have been setting out school projects in the side yard on the off chance someone works on them. Cordelia actually starts both of her projects, but doesn’t get very far with them before heading inside to just work on homework instead.

Bailie: He’s grows up soon right??

Yes, is he asking you why a lot?

Bailie: No, he just talks….a lot.

Yes, well he’s a toddler with high communication, they do that.

So sadly we aren’t going to get him up to Top-Notch, although I have hope that someday this might actually happen since Calvin is not going to be more than a few points off of this by the time he grows up. Still, seeing Adalyn play with him is just the sweetest thing.

Oh my goodness! It’s Julia, we haven’t seen you in a long time Julia!!! How are you doing?

Julia: Oh I am fine, excuse me though, I’m talking with my great-grandson….that’s weird to say.

I am sure, but yes, please talk away. He’s almost maxed his communication!

And with a small talk from Julia, Calvin gets us another +5 points. This more than makes up for a couple of pass outs we have had. Way to go Calvin!

Bailie is still working on painting, but I hadn’t seen this abstract one and I liked it, so we kept it. I love how many paintings there are that can be painted in this game. It’s so nice to randomly see someone painting something I’ve never seen before.

The brothers were invited over, and were apparently happy to see one another. We are throwing a birthday party, and both boys were given keys to the house. It just made sense and will hopefully let them come over more often on their own.

• 

• 

So it is the lovely Cordelia’s birthday today, and after Bailie baked up a lovely cake she came and blew out the candles. Happy Birthday dear Cordelia! I will show you her make-over in a few minutes.

First a moment of absolute toddler cuteness from Calvin. I love his little sweater and eating peas with a spoon, such a good little boys. It is, however, a double birthday though, so it’s time to get back to the cake.

That’s right, it’s also Calvin’s birthday today. Everyone celebrates the momentous occasion of having no toddlers left in the house. So what do the two birthday kids look like now, and what are their new traits you ask? Well, let’s take a look.

Here they are after their make-overs. Calvin, obviously on the left, and little Cordelia all grown up on the right. Calvin here gets the Kleptomaniac trait, so he gets a little bit of a rebel look to him. He also wants to be a Rambunctious Scamp, which seems to be common for these kids. He maxed Communication and Potty as a toddler, was at level 4 of movement, and had 3 in Thinking and Imagination….he did very well.

Cordelia on the other hand, managed to get her A as we said before and has added Dance Machine to her Child of the Ocean trait. This makes sense to me for as much as her mom danced with all the kids. She wants to be a Friend of the Animals. I felt like, when doing her make-over, that Cordelia wasn’t always going to be “normal” by societal definitions and might be the “weird girl.” I like her new look a lot.

The party is in full force and it seems like everyone had a really good time, except for maybe Cordelia over there who was almost instantly in a mood swing.

Both Cordelia and Corey have run into many more mood swings then Cedric. I have a feeling they are both a bit introverted, and kind of loners. So they spend time just relaxing in the pool, which seems to help both of them. The party wraps up and that feels like a great place to wrap up this update. Let’s take a look at the score, I think it’s going to be good.

Wow guys, we gained 30 points this update! Technically we gained 35, but the pass out from Calvin took us down five. Still, that’s is a great update for us and I am super excited about this generation. I think they might do big things still.

Right before we go here is a look at the cousins, and the only ones so far this generation, from Rosaline Ojo. On the left is Claire, who looks a lot like her mom, and on the left is little Cheyenne. Both of these girls are super cute. All right, that is it for another update, and I hope you will see us soon.

Hello and welcome back to the Otts family! Last time we ended with the birth of Bailie and Adalyn’s son Calvin. This is likely going to be their final kid, and we continue the family tradition of a single girl each generation. This time we should see Calvin become a toddler and the twins become teens. So let’s get going and check in on the family.

So the twins walked out of the house when it was time for school one day, but I never got the notice that they went to school. Checked on them and they were across the street getting cookies from the food stand. Cedric hung out there playing with this toy in the rain for a really long time.

Corey decides to finally autonomously do his homework, and Adalyn autonomously helps with homework. She is working on her parenting level 8, she might actually max it. We will see.

Bailie has gotten herself another promotion and the family is slowly building back up some money after the move. They still have quite a way to go, but we are covering our bills.

We have a sim using the pool!!! Adalyn is the first sim to hop in the pool and use it at all. She hangs out floating for awhile before heading back into the house and going to bed. She still hasn’t touched the bar.

The next day the kids come home from school, and while Cordelia sits down to play, poor Corey passes out. He apparently just couldn’t make it to bed first. -5 points

Um….Adalyn, what are you doing?

Adalyn: The toast is sticking.

Yes, I see that, but why are you cooking?

Adalyn: Because we have no other food.

There is popcorn right beside you, or you could make a salad.

She did manage to do this without burning the house down. Thankfully.

• 

• 

Cedric: I’m doing my homework. Are you watching me focusing on my homework….for my aspiration?

Yes, I see you. Still need you to get another mental skill, but you are going well.

Both boys suddenly get really studious and work on their homework. I’m not sure if they have enough time before growing up to get A’s, but maybe. We have a holiday coming up though.

Bailie pulls Cedric into some games of chess and before long had has reached a second milestone. I think he’s the first kid that has managed to complete two milestones. +5 points.

It’s Winterfest again and Brodie and Bryce are invited over. They don’t have a great place inside to place the tree, so it’s placed outside, decorated by the family and then presents are opened later in the evening.

Bailie: Really Brodie?????

Bryce: BRODIE!!!! How can you say that??????

What, what did I miss????

Bodie: Nothing, nevermind.

Adalyn: *oopps, walked in on that….I’m not here.*

Awww…I want to know what caused those faces.

Awww, Adalyn is reading one of Bailie’s books. It’s sweet that Adalyn is so supportive of her wife and all the things I’ve been making her work on.

Hi Audra, it’s nice of you to clean. You don’t need to, but goodness knows this family could probably use a little help. She only cleans the one mess, but you can see the kids have been busy, and there are more in the room back there at the end of the hall.

Adalyn goes to take care of baby Calvin and look at the birth certificates so far in this family. She has added a 4th to their generations line on the wall. It’s fun to see all of these together.

It’s about time to go visit Arthur’s family so we can flag Brooke. I believe we have gotten the rest of the kids already, but it might be good to check it out. Although the Otts don’t seem poised to take over the neighborhood, I’m not going to give them the chance.

Little Calvin as grown up, and while he’s pretty cute in the look he grew up in I want to give him a bit of a make-over anyway. He’s so cute! Calvin grew up Clingy…which should be fun to deal with.

While the older kids head off to school Adalyn and Calvin have a bit of a dance party. Calvin glaces back to make sure his mom is still with him. Bailie is still working on her aspiration, but it’s a long way to go still. She doesn’t raise fitness easily with her lazy trait.

Calvin: …..mum leeve. y she go?

Blue Bear: ……..

Calvin: ….mumm…….*sniff*

Yes, Calvin is VERY clingy. He gets sad anytime either Adalyn or Bailie head to work.

Popcorn is the food of life in this game right now. These toddlers needing food all the time without being able to get it from the fridge can be challenging.

The kids come home from school and both Cedric and Cordelia are very close to getting a grade up. Cedric to an A and Cordelia to a B. Sadly, Cedric won’t have time as both he and Corey’s age bars are bubbling, so it’s time for a birthday. Still Corey managed an A and that’s +5 points.

Bailie comes home and works on baking a cake. Cordelia works on her homework, but as you can see from what Adalyn is eating, she stole a piece of cake before I could get candles on the cake. So Bailie makes another one.

Right before he grows up Cedric shows a sudden interest in the drawing table. He works on a picture while Bailie finishes up the second cake so he and Corey can blow out their candles.

• 

• 

First up is Corey. Bailie, Adalyn, and Cordelia are on hand to watch and celebrate his growing up. Happy Birthday Corey. He grew up pretty handsome already.

After finishing his pictures Cedric comes down and grows up very handsome as well. I’ll give you close up pictures after their make-overs in a moment. I’m excited to have them as teens.

Little Calvin was getting hungry and his sleep schedule was all off so Bailie woke him up a little early and fed him a sandwich. Initially Cedric was on had to be ready to get him out of the highchair and back to bed, but he gives up.

Instead he gets grandpa Alan, who sits and talks with him about sandwiches. Calvin really wants out of this chair, but grandpa Alan doesn’t seem interested in helping him out, instead talking to him over and over again. Calvin ends up napping in the high chair off and on until someone wakes up.

Here are the boys after a bit of a make-over. Corey is in the glasses. He added Snob to his traits and wants to be a Computer Whiz. I keep his hair as I really liked it on him (actually that’s true of both boys) and he gets kind of a nerdy look. Cedric adds Romantic to his traits, and his aspiration is City Native.

Both boys looks great, and Cordelia will join them before too long That feels like a great place to leave this update and next time we will see Calvin’s toddler years and see how he does with his skills.

The points are back up to pretty decent amount. I think we are right around the best total I have had. It’s nice to have some positive points again, and I hope it continues with the kids as they continue to grow up.

Bailie 09 | Rules | Family Tree | Bailie 11

Bailie 08 | Rules | Family Tree | Bailie 10

Welcome back to the Otts family and the inanity that ensues here. Last time we visited the family announced a 4th child was on the way…I just couldn’t help myself, and Cordelia grew up into a child. Adalyn was also one of the best spouses and parents ever. Let’s just jump right in.

I didn’t get a chance to do it last time, so here’s a quick look at Cordelia after her make-over. She is a very pretty girl, or at least I think so, and I am excited to see how she does.

Our mom to be is working on cleaning up some of the messes around the house. These kids and their “art,” I swear.

How you feeling Adayln?

Adalyn: Tired of cleaning up after the kids, tired of being pregnant, you know, just tired.

I can understand that. These kids certainly take after their mom, Bailie was a mess maker too. We called it Bailie art.

Adalyn: I should have known.

Downstairs Cordelia does try and help out with cleaning up some messes herself. Do not let this picture fool you, she is just as responsible for most of these as her brothers.

After school Corey goes and takes a nap. His sleep schedule has gotten all off. He sleeps right after school most of the time and then is awake super early in the morning and comes home exhausted.

Cedric has fell completely in love with this toy. He plays with it every chance he gets, so we’ll see if that helps his character traits at all. Bailie is off at work so she will not been seen quite yet.

The four who are home gather in the dining room to eat and chat. The kids are all pretty close, and Adalyn, being the kick-ass mom she is, is also pretty close to her 3 kids. Maybe this is actually a family meeting about the new baby.

He may not be official Otts, but Ariana’s husband has passed away. He lasted well beyond any of the others so he must have been very young when he married Ariana.

Cedric is up before the sun the next day to grab some food, and grandpa Alan is out haunting and cleaning for us. The kids seem to mostly ignore the ghosts in this particular house.

To see if we can help the Rambuncious Scamp kids with their milestones we head to the park for the day. Bailie runs into Brodie and they do a special little “handshake” in greeting.

It takes a good portion of the day to get the kids to play and to play long enough to get playful but finally both Corey and Cordelia complete the first milestone of Rambunctious Scamp. +10 points

Of course, the super sad side effect of all of these was Adalyn got too tired, and refused to go take a nap on any of the benches, the chairs, nothing, so she passed out 3 times. -15 points. So really the trip to the playground netted us -5 points.

Whatcha doing Baillie?

Bailie: Going for a jog. Why did I want to be a bodybuilder?

*Shurg* I have no idea. You are lazy, but that was the roll of the randomizer. Are you carrying food with you?

Bailie: Yeah, just a snack for if I get hungry while I’m out.

Corey gets into cleaning up messes now, which seems to be the new “thing to do” for the kids. I’m not going to complain. We have messes EVERYWHERE in this house.

Like this prime example. Do not let this picture fool you, let me tell you a story. Cordelia came up to this spot where there was no paint, not flour or chocolate. It was a clean floor. She mopped it. Then she proceeded to make this mess before mopping it again. Did it need to be extra clean before it was made a mess? Only Cordelia knows.

In other good news however, Bailie is getting more promotions in the writing career. She has written a fair number of books and is almost to level 9 in writing I believe.

A new little cousin is on the way from Adalyn’s side of the family. I had really wanted to invite Rosalie over but Bailie hasn’t ever met her and so she can’t invite her, and I have plans for Adalyn’s one adult action.

Cedric works on his second milestone. He needs to do homework twice while focused. With the focus lights in the bedroom he gets focused easily while working on homework. So hopefully he will be able to reach this milestone.

• 

• 

Oh boy, this face means we are ready to have the next baby. I messed this up by trying to send Adalyn to go to the hospital by herself. She went to the curb, tried to leave, then peed herself. So I got Bailie up to go with her. -5 points

We are back to Ectoplasm Medical Center where Bailie goes into the normal prenatal panic. There is no front desk staff yet so Adalyn just heads straight back.

Bailie: Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, there is another baby on the way. I’m not ready, I’m not ready.

Bailie, honey, calm down. You have 3 kids back at home, you know how to do this.

Bailie: Right, ok, yeah, but what if…..

Bailie, stop. It will be ok.

We have another boy. Meet Calvin Otts. This family seems pretty predisposed to have boys, regardless of how many they have. Each generation has only seen a single girl. I don’t expect these two to have any additional children so this will be our final baby.

That feels like the right place to warp up this update, even though it’s slightly shorter than normal for us, but next time we can see Calvin grow up and the twins will be teens again soon as well.

Well we almost broke even, and I can’t even really be mad at the failures we had this time. Most of them were completely my fault. This generation is going much smoother than the last time, and I’m liking this house quite a bit. So we’ll see how they do next update.
