Hello and welcome back to this wacky challenge. Things are going along slowly but steadily. Last time we saw the final kids of this generation born, the initial three grew up some and Desiree had her adult birthday. At the end of this update we will have an heir poll, so let’s get started by looking at the founding requirements

We have made some decent progress on everything and hopefully we will mark a few more things off that list as we go. So let’s head into see what’s going on with the family.

So for some reason, believe it was because of a sickness that happened to the family for a day, Blossom didn’t go to school the first day. So when Brook brought home a school project she helped her complete it.

Autumn is hard at work authenticating our artifacts to get that collection going. We are also starting a house club. The approved activities are homework and conservation activities. I want to get this island cleaned up (I am required to actually) so I’m going to get the whole family to help.

We have the shelving set up for the seashells and the buried treasure. As you can see we have a good start on the seashells already. A little over half, as we have 6 left and we have collected 7 so far. The buried treasure we have more work to do for sure, but it’s a least a start.

All the work that Autumn has put into authenticating and uncovering artifacts has also been paying off. I don’t have a great place to put them inside right now, so they are going out here on the side of the house. There are still quite a few to go however, so we will need to keep working.

Desiree has been in charge of the “garden” since she went into the gardening career. I cannot remember if I mentioned that before, I think I did, but this will be career #2 that she gets to level 3. We have also put our gnomes out to “guard” the flamingos.

Desiree has also been in charge of helping to sell all the extra seashells, artifacts, and other items that are not needed. We are doing a decent job of it so far, and it brings in some decent money once in awhile, especially if we have extra jungle treasure.

As hard as it might be to believe, it’s time for birthday’s again. Orca and Oceana grow up into toddler today and Desiree and Autumn get them started on skills right away.

Here are the girls after a bit of a make-over. Orca is in the green and she rolled the Clingy trait. Well she’s going to have to get over that a lot, because this family is busy busy busy. Oceana is in the blue, and probably my favorite right now. She rolled the Independent trait. I love independent toddlers.

There is another birthday today if you can believe it. Little Olive, our Bad Apple, also had a birthday today. I sort of cheated and peeked at her skills as we were taking her to the cake (I didn’t look at anything else, and she was growing up so it didn’t matter, I just wanted to mark how she did.) I had also kept up with her skills through the notifications and apparently had them right. She almost made it to happy toddler, but was just shy. Still, she’s adorable, but little Oceana (I think) did not look happy that Olive was getting the cake.

Here is Olive after a bit of a make-over. She is such a pretty little girl. I really like her. She rolled Self-Assured as her trait. Well that makes sense, because she’s been having to fend for herself since she was a toddler. She got the Whiz Kid aspiration, which isn’t likely, but maybe if her sisters finish theirs they can help her with the first part at least.

Olive will take parental conversation anyway she can get it. She is a very sweet girl, and I feel bad at times that she was the choice for the Bad Apple, but it makes a lot more sense for the single birth to be that in my mind.

Desiree works tirelessly for her girls. She is up to a level 8 in parenting. She reads the newest toddlers to sleep and leaves notes for the older 3 on the curfew broad. She even posted the first picture.

Autumn seems to be wanting to break things in order to use magic to fix them. I sometimes totally forget to fix something so it sits broken for a day or two, and by then we usually have 3 or 4 things broken that need to be fixed. Repario has been an absolute lifesaver for this challenge. Spell caster is the way to go.

I didn’t capture a picture of it, but Blossom finished her Artistic Prodigy aspiration and took Whiz Kid next. That meant she could play chess with Olive and hopefully get them both some games for their aspirations.

The twins are always tired or hungry. I am trying to get their skills all learned up but they are being pains at the moment. So we put them to bed a little early this night in the hopes they will get a full night sleep, let us have a full night of rest, and allow for the adults to make food in the morning.

Autumn falls asleep on this lounger and thus completes her aspiration. This is great news because it’s one more thing knocked off of our list. We have started all 3 of the needed collections, completed this aspiration, all we need to finish now is cleaning up the island and finding the rest of the needed relic pieces and activate one. We can do this!

This picture is just too dang cute. I believe this is Orca, yes that is a green swimsuit and the right hair, and she apparently asked Desiree to let her play in the pool. These interactions were just too cute! I love them so much.

Autumn grew up into an adult without fanfare. Honestly, I kind of forgot it was her birthday in all the craziness. It’s been a wild ride for sure through this. She was a little sad, but had enough other moodlets it got pretty buried, so she was only sad for a little about about her forgotten birthday. Too much to do to stay sad for long. I have also just realized her familiar, Batty, got unsummoned and I needed to bring him back.

With that I believe I am going to leave you this update, but not before posting the heir poll below. This is not going to be like my other heir polls, as I’m not going to have an entirely separate page for them. What I did was create an extra save, age up all of the girls to YA, gave them make-overs to show off their best traits as possible, and then took pictures with different ‘poses’. I did roll for traits, but none of the aspirations have been picked yet, we will choose those as they age up. So without further adu, here are your choices:

Ok, here are your choices. First up is Brook (in yellow). She got her mom’s teal eyes, but is not a spell caster. She will have Glutton, Geek, and Dance Machine as her traits. Next up (in gray) is Brook’s twin, Blossom. Blossom was born a spell caster and is super cute. She, however, got Desiree’s brown eyes, so she’s not the top pick. She will have Goofball, Creative, and Dance Machine as traits. Apparently Dance Machine is a twin thing.

Last up in the first row is our Bad Apple, Olive (in the red). She grew up really pretty, and is also a spell caster, but also has Desiree’s brown eyes. She will end up with Self-Assured, Geek, and Art Lover as her traits.

Our final two are the second set of twins. First is Orca (in green), who is not a spell caster. She has Autumn’s teal eyes, which is a plus, and she will get Romantic, Slob and Lazy as her traits. Her twin, Oceana (in blue) is our TOP CHOICE. She got Autumn’s teal eyes, but is also a natural spell caster. She gets the traits Genius, Bro, and Perfectionist.

With the spell casting being a huge part of my challenge the 3 who were born spellcasters would be my top picks (Blossom, Olive, or Oceana.) Oceana having the teal eyes is a huge plus in her favor for me, but I leave it up to you. I will also have a post over on boolprop.net if you want to vote there. This poll is only going to be open about 4 days, so get your votes in quick.

Hello all, and welcome back to Comic Summer. Hopefully you have been reading along so far and are ready for another fun update with this couple and the twins. We still have 2 more pregnancies to get through, and Autumn is pregnant currently. As a reminder of the requirements for our 3 goals that Autumn needs to complete:

So we are doing well, although we need to get back to the jungle soon and find the relic pieces. We do have a couple of relic tops, just not bottoms yet. We also need to finish up Autumn’s aspiration and cleaning the island up, and cleaning up Sulani takes a lot of time apparently. We have reached the first level of that though, so we are on our way.

We are going to start with the twins heading out to build a little sand gnome. I love Blossom’s little face when looking at him. This is so cute to watch. I love having toddlers on the beach.

The house is expanded again, and we now have an upper floor. I believe this should be our biggest and last expansion. It’s possible, if we get triplets, that we will need another bassinet or toddler bed, but there are 8 sleeping areas across 6 beds for adults/teens/children now, which means there should room for everyone who can live here…and I have room in the teen/children rooms to add another bed if needed.

We did have HarvestFest, although I apparently missed the pictures of it, but Autumn gets going on grilling food. Our friend is over again too, and she wants to come over all the time. It’s sweet, I really like her as a family friend.

We all know what this face means. Right before this, Desiree switches her job to be a Freelance Programmer to work on her next level of her aspiration, but that will now wait.

Desiree: There’s a baby, they better not hurt my wife

Desiree, calm down, no one is going to hurt her.

Desiree: Last time she said it felt like they ripped out her heart!

Well…..just go sit down.

Which she did, in the room next door, to work on her work.

But I’m here to tell you we welcomed a new little girl. This is Olive, and she will be our bad apple. Poor little Olive will have to mostly fend for herself, but I’m excited to see how she does.

Back at home, we have added our next 3 flamingos, and while we are running out of space down this direction, we have at least 3 more for this generation. At this rate we will be running out of room for sure.

Since there is time before Olive grows up and the twins have maxed all of their skills and still have a few days before growing up we decide to send Autumn back to the jungle to see if she can pick up any more items, or relic bottoms.

Instead, she has a pretty terrible trip. She does manage to get through the temple, but while digging for artifacts, gets no relic pieces, in the treasure chests she gets relic tops, and then she gets burned and poisoned by the temple defenses. She does manage to overcome poison so we head home and count our blessings she didn’t die. Especially because, it’s birthday time!

All three girls are growing up today, and we had our lights turned off for a few minutes because I hadn’t paid the bills while we were in the jungle…whoops. Still Olive grew up looking just like Desiree and rolled the Charmer trait. Poor little Bad Apple.

Here are all three girls after a bit of a make-over. Olive is first, as since she is a charmer her outfits are going to lean towards red. Broke is next, she maintains the yellow leaning outfits and keeps her pigtails. Blossom keeps the grey colors, and while she grew up in a mohawk that didn’t look bad on her, I put her in this hair for now…..she might end up being trans, we’ll see when she becomes a teen.

One of their first nights in their big girl beds and Brook comes in because of a monster under the bed apparently. Autumn goes and sprays, but in an entirely different room, under an entirely different bed then the one Brook was sleeping in.

The whole family sits down for a meal together before the girls first day of school. They both join the scouts, and I forgot to mention what their aspirations are. Brook wants to be a Rambunctious Scamp, while Blossom wants to be an Artistic Prodigy.

We had Winterfest and the good news about the open space in the dinning room/kitchen area is that it’s perfect for the tree. I apparently didn’t take any other pictures of WinterFest, but they all had a good time, except for Olive who (since I can’t control her) is a bit of a mess and was sleeping when everyone else was opening presents.

Late at night we break a sink that will be fixed a couple days later, because I totally forgot the very next day. We also get word that the final pregnancy is started! This is very exciting news.

A quick trip to the playground allows Brook to complete the first milestone of her aspiration and both girls are working slowly on their scouts badges. I will admit, I haven’t been managing the house as well as I sometimes do. Have Olive as an uncontrollable and unknowable child makes her almost harder than an ISBI child.

I also have realized that I never told you the traits of the twins. Both girls got the Top-Notch Toddler trait, and Brook is a Glutton and Blossom is a Goofball.

It’s New Years for the family, and it fell on a weekend so the girls had scouts. That evening, everyone but Olive watched the countdown. The girls each wished to gain a new level in scouting, Desiree’s resolution was to get promoted I think, and Autumn wanted to complete and aspiration milestone.

Early on a morning a day or two later, Autumn woke up with this face. Now, she was also hungry, but it’s time for the final baby, or babies, of this generation to be born. So Autumn and Desiree head to the hospital. Desiree goes and gets some food first, and then stands in the hallway freaking out.

Autumn’s familiar, Batty, watches over Autumn to ensure nothing happens to her.

Batty: This doc seems good.

Yes, she is calm and there is not crazy workings of the machine, just the quiet.

Batty: My mage will be happy to be done.

I’m sure she will, but she’s been a trooper.

Oh look at that, 2 bassinets again. Well, twins, single birth, twins isn’t too bad. At least she didn’t get triplets. We have two more girls added to the family, so this will certainly be a matriarchy for sure. So welcome Orca and Oceana Comic.

Batty: This one looks healthy, I also think I feel power from her.

Well that’s good, we need a spell caster to carry on.

Batty: The other also looks healthy. My mage has done well.

I would agree Batty.

So with our final pregnancy of this generation over, we have completed the required pregnancies, and now have to spend our time focused on the rest of the goals.

Back at home I realized that Desiree’s age bar was bubbling, so Autumn baked her a cake, and Desiree is now an adult. It will be a while before Autumn is there, since she carried all the babies. Desiree is now in the gardening career to try and reach her next aspiration milestone.

I will leave you with this very dark picture of the flamingos. We have added the next 6 flamingos to our herd….if we keep up with this many babies, this yard will be FULL of flamingos by the end.

With that I will leave you with a lot other information. The seashell collection is coming along, I believe they have found 7 of them so far. The artifacts are also coming along quite well. I’m debating where to put everything, but so far we have had one repeated artifact, and no replicas found so far. Autumn needs to find a buried treasure for her aspiration and then she should be on the last level. Once the kids get a little older we shouldn’t have any problems heading back to the jungle for more adventures. Thanks for joining us so far, and I will probably get an heir poll up at the end of the next update.
