Time to play some more! We won’t get to Brent’s toddler birthday, but there are other birthdays this week. So Carry on…

Maren and Aiden having dinner.. at the bar instead of the table?

Brock’s working on his list of Gourmet recipes.

Happy adult birthday, Maren! Brock looks super unimpressed.

And… Brent is a toddler! Yay! He’s simply adorable. My son picked a cute one from the adoption list.. woohoo!

Getting some necessities out of the way. Like Potty Training.

Why did I take a picture of Aiden writing again?

Because he’s at level 10 now!

Brent! You’re supposed to read the books, not tear them up! Wild toddlers can be such a handful!

Dinner.. toddler-style. And that’s butternut squash soup, if you’re interested.

Lobster Thermador… we’re almost there, Brock! (And why does that look SO tasty. I haven’t had lobster in forever..)

Makeover 11/15. Four to go!

Angelina came home in one of those teenage mood swings.. so she’s off to the bathroom to talk it out to the mirror.

12/15.. getting there.

Brock finally did it!

And shortly after, he cooked his last listed food at Excellent quality.. so I can show the list this last post, and then forget about it. YAY!

Yup.. Maren is out taking pictures.. again. Incidentally, the featured photo for this post is also one of her photos. Some of them came out really nice.

And this .. is to commemorate Maxing photography.. but I forgot to get the UI shot. So you’ll just have to trust me on that one.

13/15… One townie at a time.

Maren’s wall of displayed photos. All outstanding, and she’s DONE with photography.

14/15… and even better..

Nice, Charisma 10.

And that’s the first time I’ve completed that aspiration.

Last time I have to do a makeover. YAY!

This is for two reasons.. one.. WHY are you showering in your clothes??

And two.. he’s made it to level 10. Although I immediately got confused because level 10 has more “promotion” requirements..?? I had to look it up to make sure there wasn’t a level 11 like the Secret Agent – Villain job. Spoiler: there isn’t. So I don’t know why there are more requirements..

Happy Birthday, Aiden! You’re ready for adulting..

Getting that last painting point for work. (He also had to get a fourth point in photography, but his pictures were awful so I’m not showing any of them..

Brent’s skills are coming right along. He’s already going to be a “Happy Toddler” but I kinda want to get to Top Notch again. We’ll have to see if it happens.

Welcome Breanna to the household! Another lucky adoptee. I say lucky, because this household has some 350k in reserve… so she’ll be well taken care of!

Another teenage mood swing. Heading for the mirror. Again.

“Hey bear, if you can hear me.. I didn’t really want a baby sister. But don’t tell her I said that!”

Aiden.. it looks like that bottle has gone “off.” .. Luckily it’s just a dirty diaper, but still.

Love Day! I send the two lovebirds out to the restaurant, and this is Aiden serenading Brock for all he’s worth.

Unfortunately, by the end of the meal, not only did Brock need to pee… he also got food poisoning.

Well, hello, cutie! Breanna grows up.

And then, just before the week ends..

.. Angelina rolls for her trait and career.. gets a job.. and moves in with her older sister.

We got lots done this time.. I think the only major things we have left is getting Maren and Brock to level 10 of their career (and Brock needs to finish his aspiration). I haven’t decided which one of the kids will be heir yet.. but I did roll for the goals for next generation, because I couldn’t stand the suspense anymore.. And I managed to get one I was dreading. #16 – the retail one. I rolled for the second – #26 – comedian.. but I don’t know if I’ll be able to do that on the spouse while working on that retail store. I haven’t done much with retail stores in Sims 4 – so that’ll be a huge adventure. Not sure I’m looking forward to it!

And finally!…. Here’s Brock’s list so far. All done with it!
