Welcome back! I’ll preface this chapter by saying that I thought I took more pictures than this. I swore I took a million pictures, but apparently I was so overwhelmed that I didn’t. You’ll see why in a minute. LOL.

We start the pictures with another house call. This guy’s gloves cracked me up.

The dreaded treadmill test.. again.

Surgery. With a sandwich? Really, Alan? That doesn’t seem very professional…

Checking the baby’s gender. Alan says it’s a girl. Which makes me all kinds of happy… for a little while.

Another shot of a very unhappy alien. Provided it’s a girl, you don’t need to have any more, so don’t feel too bad, Ashley!

Sigh. It’s a girl all right. Two of them. YIKES! And we still have a toddler in the house! I foresee a lot of fails…. Oh yeah, and their names are Brittney and Becca. I almost forgot. I had a terrible time picking a girl’s “B” name, and then the second one popped up. I was not particularly happy then.. LOL.

Ashley’s such a good mommy.

Teaching Branden some skills so maybe he’ll be easier to take care of.

Oh, yeah, NOW you’re happy. Throwing a big monkey wrench into this sim-week, huh? Just eat your breakfast.

She cleans the sink for me so I’m not mad at her anymore. Hard to be mad at a sim who autonomously cleans.

Fixing the radio. Please don’t get shocked. We really need you around, Alan!

Another house call at work.

Another surgery. This time he leaves the grilled cheese at home.

A moodlet solver. He definitely needed one!

Ashley just watching the bath. You could help out, you know. Now that there’s THREE kids!

The last shot of the high chair. They just get in the way with routing fails. I got rid of them for the twins’ birthday.

Thanks, Dominic. I needed one more thing to do.

Stinky toddler chillin’ in the kitchen.

… And this would be why Branden is stinky.

“Mommy? What’cha doin’?”

Maeve, checking up on her grandkids.

Birthdays! I figure now is a good time to officially introduce them…

I almost changed her hairstyle, because it’s the same one Branden has, but I figure I can tell them apart via the dress instead.

I managed to get a picture of her with her eyes closed. And Angelic?! Whew. That’s a big help!

I re-did Alan and Andrew’s teen room for the girls.

Becca immediately finds the dollhouse.

Becca getting potty trained…

While the other two are actually behaving.

…Well, they WERE. Apparently Branden and Brittney don’t get along. This is the aftermath of one of them pushing the other one. Not sure who started it.

So Branden wanders off to take care of himself.

.. Literally. Good thing he’s potty trained!

This is the only Harvestfest shot I got. A lonely gnome and his seed packet.

Toddler meltdown. Branden gets tired of being by himself.

… It’s like herding cats. What a mess.

Everyone eating. I just stuck a plate for them on the floor in the upstairs hallway and presto! Toddler meal-time.

Not sure how I got everyone asleep at once. But this is when heaven is in an ISBI.

Pardon the select box around the potty. I was so surprised she was helping out that I forgot to move my mouse.

Brittney getting into trouble while Dad is otherwise occupied. Of course.

Another argument. Still don’t know who’s starting them.

Dance party! (With no music??)

Brittney behaving for a change, and being cute with Calico.

Still very much toddler mayhem.

But they’re so cute! Just look at Brittney!

Turns out Becca and Branden get along just fine.

A thirty second coffee break.

.. We’re being invaded! (in other words.. the coffee break is officially OVER!)

The girls run out to meet Mommy coming home from work.

Stinky alien. Don’t make that pouty face at me. You can take care of yourself!

Maeve and Alan hugging.. while the kids follow pretty much wherever he goes.

A stinky Alan making dinner. On a dirty counter. This house is falling apart! LOL.

A sleep replacer… because he desperately needed one.

Branden and Brittney eyeing each other.

Birthday time!

Ohh… boy. A hot head. Just what we need. There goes the dollhouse. LOL.

Branden as a child.

First things first. Homework.

Poor Alan looks like he’s so over this parenting thing.

… And this is the proof that I made it through the week. And nobody failed! I have NO idea how I managed that!
