The Starving Artist - Gen 1.06

'
The twins headed out to get phones.  They noted Berry's dad, Alon, was working at the juice counter.

Speaking of Berry, it was his birthday.  The twins made sure he had a good party!

Yay go you Berry!

After a peice of cake Berry headed out to bed down in his very own tent.  Granny Elisa was there to introduce herself.

Frannie had scraped a few simoleons together and expanded the house a small bit.  With a growing family, room was needed for more easles.

No need to worry, son  It is just another baby.

 Another set of twins!  (great points for this challenge).   And both of them have their father's snowleopard skintone.  Connor was there to help his mother manage them.

A girl and a boy.  Faith is just a little older than Logan.  :)

Frannie painting with her boys.  What a good looking family.

The cats watch a lot of TV these days, they are the only ones who do.  Alegra and Cymmi are now elders and no long producing kittens.  What a great retirement.

Sarah still scares, but not as much. She would rather brag on the fact that she still has her very own bed. If she could take it into the grave with her she probably would.

On this day, Frannie spent her time cleaning as it was Headmaster day.  Being a knowlege Sim, Connor held the wish to get in to Private School.  Frannie still wishing to get married.  It was on her mind all the time.  A new Headmaster showed up, neither BJ Ryan or Korey Jitmakusol came.

Connor did the tour of the home with Mr. Walters while Frannie cooked spaghetti for dinner.  Mr Walters was much easier than the other two Headmasters, he loved the house.  Sage and Frannie provided dinner conversation.

They politely ignored Mr. Walter's dinner table habits.

Berry joined the table conversation, and Connor sat in to get a bite.  Mr. Walters congratulated the family on the number of gold hobby plaques in the house.  That would certainly help them get into his prestigious school!

Frannie gave one last pitch for her kids.  She did have a great skill in communication with Headmasters.

The three older boys were admitted in to Private School!

Getting into private school gave Connor a nice deposit into his aspiration bank account.  Frannie was happy for Connor.  She was able to give him something other than a small house and a painting easel!  In the mean time Sage maxed out creativity, giving him a big infusion of aspiration also!

The boys headed out to school the next morning in their new school uniforms.

Berry taking up the rear, the littlest one the last one out of the house.  As soon as the boys were gone, Frannie took some "me" time to get a little aspiration.  She asked the pizza guy, Remingon London out on a home date.

The date ended moments before the school bus pulled up in front of the house.  Oh look, former
Starving Artist Fatima Frugal came over after school.

Berry's father Alon got a whiff of "something in the air" all the way from town.  He called Frannie "just to see how things were going hadn't seen you in a while" type call.  Oh my.

It was birthday time again in the Starving Artist household.  It was only appropriate that the twins help the twins to grow up.

Faith Spartan

Oh my what a cutie patooty.  She grew up in cute “everything!”

Logan Spartan

Logan looks like a Logan!  Ha!  Had really good luck here.

The twins headed right over to the activity table to get started on their careers.

Berry arrived home from school, showing off his A+!  Go you, Berry.  But as per the curse of the middle child, no one took note of his accomplishment.

Sage noticed though, while giving Logan some smart milk.  It was time to get the toddlers trained up.

Connor trained up Faith, and Sage trained up Logan.  Between the older boys and Frannie, there was plenty of thinking caps and smart milk to go around for everyone.  Faith was 100% trained up by nap time, but Logan's spilled over to the next day.  He insisted on sleeping and eating.

While everyone was inside having fun and training, Remington and Frannie snuck outside for a little adult fun.  Yes, 'tis true.  All on their own.

Berry grew tired of the party and ducked out for a nap in his tent.  After a while he got up feeling too  warm.  This really worried me because the one time a child grew too warm in my game previous, the social worker came and took him.  After two glasses of water, Berry was fine. *whew*

Oh Frannie, Frannie. 

It was birthday time for the twins, and the twins were on hand to help them with the cake!  Frannie being pregnant again found the mac n cheese to be better for her at that moment!

Oh be still my heart.  I do love the snowleopard skintone.  But here's to hoping Frannie's latest pregnancy produces a girl because I really do not want the snowleopard skintone for the heir.

The kids immediately graduated from the activity table to the easel.

My Muse for Faith!

My Muse for Logan...who was in the bath.  My Muse Lady:  "Oh geesh.  This family."

Just a gratuitous picture of Frannie serving breakfast to her kids.  Not sure if Berry is staring at Faith because she is the only sister he has or because of her unusual skin condition.

Saturday rolled around, and a trip out to the park was in order.  It felt so good to get out of the house.

The older boys wanted to fish so bad, they had memberships to Peerless Park, after all.  They had loads of fun and caught plenty of fish to take home to the grill!

Frannie found a random child to push on the swings...  (this is Tad Bostic...who was an infant in Prosperity Falls, just born at the end of the last play finished.  I had never SimPE extracted and put an infant through Body Shop and aged up to child.  It was quite fun.  Tad is currently in the adoption pool here).

Logan found Orlando Centowski a willing chess partner!

The park outing was loads of fun, but back home saw some milestones for the kids. Faith maxed creativity, as did Logan, and Faith sold her first masterpiece.  The simoleon earners were getting on with it!

Jessie Capehart dropped by to visit..you can tell who's dad he is.

Sage had been dabbling around in cooking, and attempted to make fish in the grill.  It nearly went south real quick, but the fire department was quick to come over.  In hindsight, I could have had another ghost color for the challenge...oh well...

The fish being a failure, Sage made mac-n-cheese for dinner.  It was also Berry's birthday!

A handsome guy you are Berry!  He rolled Popularity!

Berry had not been aged up for more than a minute when his mom went into labor

I don't friggin' believe it...twins again.... both girls!  Yay! Even though Frannie’s twins perk is turned on I never thought 3 out of four pregnancies would produce.  That is a 75% rate of twins.

What a cutie patootie baby girl!

Natasha and Laurel

And this ends this action packed week.  It as actually more like nine days....as at the beginning of this entry when Sage and Connor went out to buy their phones it was Saturday....I am playing Monday to Monday.  No more pregnancies for Frannie!  She is five days from aging up, and she will retire.  Maybe be allowed to sit and write novels, which is allowed in this challenge.

One of these girls just born will be the heiress of generation two.  I am kind of ashamed I made Frannie keep seeking out different partners for baby daddies, per the rules she could have married Alon Reiner, BJ Ryan or Remington London...But it is only The Sims.  They do all sorts of crazy stuff!
