Life Skills Times Four!

Lila (with Rudy) and I (with Marlowe) fighting for the cot!
Isaac surprisingly helping with the babies.  Here with Finlay.
Lila's very helpful with the babies - here with Marlowe. 
Willow chatting to one of her gal pals. 
So, uh, Eddie here's one of your four children, Finlay. 
Lila with Holland!
Willow's taken a fall off the trampoline!  In her words, "This isn't flying!  This is falling, with style!"
Daisy watching TV. 
The babies have woken everyone up, which is weird because I didn't think they did that unless they were in the same room.
Eddie's fallen asleep in the rocking chair.
Willow and Marlowe. 
She's baaack!
Rockin' out with Rudy!
Designing nanites.
It's time for a quintuple birthday, and one of my children's friends has decided to take Finlay!
Everyone congregates in the nursery, making it super cramped!
Rory! Rory has only recently become a father - yes, that's right, I am now a grandmother!  Twice, actually.  Rory and his girlfriend Cari had a son called Curt the other day (my first grandson!).  And today my daughter Charley and her boyfriend Starsprinkle (father of Sloane and Paris) had a daughter named Maribel (my first granddaughter!).
Such a strange concept, isn't it?  Paris and Sloane are Maribel's half-sister's as well as her aunties! Little Maribel appears to have a surprise darker skin tone. 
Daisy's birthday!  It was also the quads' birthday but I didn't get them cakes as it would be too hard.
Baby #30, Daisy as a teen!  She needs a change of outfit!
The quads as toddlers!  In birth order, Holland, Rudy, Finlay and Marlowe (Holland's escaping!).  Holland has Eddie's hair colour,  Rudy has mine, and Finlay and Marlowe both have a same darker one.  Eye-wise, Holland's and Rudy's are brown, Finlay's are like mine and Marlowe's are a random blue.  Also, Marlowe has my skin tone while the rest have Eddie's.  No two children are alike!
All the food that was brought by our guests - it all went off, even after I put them in the fridge.
I'm teaching Rudy to talk whilst Daisy is about to potty train Holland (in the back).
Meanwhile Marlowe and Finlay play in the playpen!
Isaac has discovered the holo computers in our storage chest that we took from Oasis Landing.
Oh how cute!
I felt super guilty because Miss Marlowe taught herself to talk in the playpen all by herself! (but with Finlay helping of course) I vowed that I would be very hands-on with the rest of her skills.  Look at that face!
While Willow shows off her super 'great' driving, let it be noted that a mere few days after Rory and Cari had Curt that they are now expecting another child.  Additionally, Baby 22 Andromeda is also expecting a child with Cerulean Hue who, if you remember, is the father of Babies 12 and 13, Thomas and Heidi. 
Another birthday!
Hello, Gemma! (and Everly in background)
Twinnies (Willow and Lila)
I'm dancing with Willow and Lila's father, Salem!
Best friends!!  Also, nice dancing Flynn!
Birthday girls!
 Willow and Lila blowing out their candles!
Willow as a young adult!
 Lila as a young adult!
Baby 27, Lila Madison Bloom as a young adult.  She gained the Friendly trait and her LTW is Alchemy Artisan (due to her being a Supernatural Fan).
Baby 28, Willow Jean Bloom as a young adult.  She gained the Neat trait and her LTW is the Ark Builder (due to her being an Animal Lover).  
My old genie (Shelley/Shelly) with Lemon?
I tried to have another crack at Archie Soulbuster.
It was a full moon and he wolfed out on me, causing me to faint.  What. The.  Seriously, my own son is a werewolf, I'm not fazed by the supernatural (having a genie and fairy also).
Lila seems unfazed by Marlowe's crying.
Finlay and Holland playing in the play pen - so cute!
Um, hello Grimmy...?!
DON'T.  YOU.  DARE.  Stay away from Marlowe!
I don't know why Willow found Isaac and Finlay so hilarious.
Oh look, it's the Dexter family.  This is Sloane's boyfriend Bradly.
 Lila eating from the magic jellybean bush!  I told her to be careful... dang, those Supernatural Fans!
I decided that it had been a while since I'd gotten a tan, and it was spring after all, so I used the tanning booth... only to come out looking like a bloody OOMPA LOOMPA!
Willow!
Lila tried to stifle her laughter when she saw me.
Even Rudy was skeptical.
Not skeptical - EVIL!
A lovely view of rainy Appaloosa Plains from our rooftop.
Hey, it's Liam!  At the elixir consignment store?
Something's wrong with Daisy... she's awfully pale...
But back to normal as she teaches Holland to walk.
Rudy and Finlay playing together!
All the girls are being taught to walk.  Willow with Marlowe, Isaac with Finlay and Daisy with Holland. 
I then remembered my promise to Marlowe and took over from Willow.  
You're scaring me, Daisy.  Oh, Rory and his girlfriend Cari had their second child, a boy named Reynaldo.  Also, Andromeda and Cerulean had a son called Ernie!  I now have four grandchildren.  I feel old. 
Daisy and Lila working on the respective careers (Bot Building and Alchemy).  Willow also finally got a job in the Education career. 
I retanned!  And look stunning, though my expression doesn't say so...
Daisy also decided she wanted a tan too and came out stunning!
My latest painting.  I called it 'Kevin'.
I received this award from city hall for my service to the community for painting.
Daisy got her licence!
Family outing to the dog park.  Ladybug shotgunned the front seat.
Each of us had a respective toddler (though there were five of us, and four toddlers).  The bloody paparazzi lady (fugly skirt in the middle lady) followed us!  She's always outside our house!
I woke Finny up in the middle of the night to finish teaching her to walk.
Yay Holland!  Rudy and Finlay were potty trained hours earlier.  Now it's just up to Marlowe to be potty trained!  And Rudy needs to learn to walk, all before their birthday this afternoon.  
This may just be the funniest thing I have ever seen.
Daddy's here (Eddie)!  And an oversized lady whom I did not invite (who is actually a longtime family friend and recent neighbour).  Are those... scales?? 
Tonight also happened to be prom night for Isaac and Daisy.  Willow was commissioned by her boss to chaperone it also.  
Eddie stares creepily at his daughter Holland.
Hey, Parker (11) and Gemma (15)!  Also, Charley and Starsprinkle had another child!  A boy called Antoine. 
Finlay with big sisters Heidi (13) and Bryony (21).
Are there supposed to be bugs in my house?!  In my nursery?!
Makin' my way downtown... (Marlowe)
Baby 34 Marlowe Anne has grown into a child!  She gained the Bookworm trait.
Baby 31 Holland Grace's turn!
Uncross your eyes honey, so Mummy can take a photo.  She gained the Star Quality trait.
Baby 23 Rudy Edward.
He gained the Athletic trait, AND he's going straight to the mirror!
And last but not least, Baby 33 Finlay Joy!
She gained the Lucky trait.  I'm happy that all four babies learnt their three life skills!
