Parties and Skill Building

Paris Olivia (my gorgeous baby 26) invited us over for a pool party. 

Pretty girl!

"Are you serious?"

Baby 14 Liam makes a funny face.

Oh, Hunter.  (#3)

"It's the stars, Marlowe, don't you see?"
"Whatever, Daisy."

"See that plane?!"

Ah, Archie Soulbuster.  I have tried to have a baby with him MANY times but unfortunately he seldom changes out of his wolf form.

Ah, they are definitely brothers (half)!

A Bathing Bunch of Blooms!  LtoR: Isaac, Finlay, Marlowe, Daisy, Paris, Me, Holland.

Rudy opted to stay home and swim in our own pool. 

Ryder!  (from an odd angle)

Midnight dinner.

It's not too often I get to be home alone with all the kids at school, but when I do it's usually... cleaning up...

... cleaning the dog...

... upgrading household objects...

... doing laundry...

... and getting around to painting by the late afternoon!

Most of the kids went to bed as soon as they got home, due to their late night last night!  Isaac, Rudy and Daisy sleeping.

Helping Finlay with her homework.

Finlay adventuring in the downstairs bathroom.

On Saturday, everyone did something productive.  Daisy worked on her Bot Building skill (she is self-employed in the career).

Isaac did his homework near her.

I sketched.

Isaac began to learn the sculpting skill.

Ladybug went swimming (she loves it!).

Holland worked on improving her Writing skill.

Speaking of Holland, she was given an opportunity by the school to befriend Ernie Hue, who is her nephew (and my grandson)!  He is the son of Andromeda (Baby 22) and Cerulean Hue (father to babies 12 and 13, Thomas and Heidi).  Here's Rudy talking to him.

 Holland and Ernie shaka-bra-ing!

I also had an opportunity to befriend a family member - my tenth child, Ryder!

WHAT?!  I told the kids not to speak to the paparazzi!  They are outside our house all the time!

Daisy's back at the bot building station, and she seems excited...

Oh!

She's built her very first PlumBot!  Meet Kang.

Tuning him up.

The first thing Kang did was go swimming!  I was worried that he would short circuit or something if he goes in the water but Daisy said she thought he'd be fine.

Teaching Isaac to drive!  I have to wait until he moves out to have another child now, as Kang has taken up the last spot.

Playing in the fountain!

I got invited over by Bryony (Baby 21).  Andromeda and Ernie also live with her.  Here we have Liam (baby 14), Drew (baby 24) and Hunter (baby 3).

Liam: "Haha, Drew, we're the same!"

I-DENT-I-CAL.  Drew (L) and Liam (R) are identical.  They are two of my five boys who have identical faces (Jagger [9], Parker [11], Thomas [12], Liam [14] and Drew [24]) except these two have all their colourings identical as well.  The first 4 boys were one pregnancy after another being identical.  I thought I'd had a break between Liam and Drew (I had four boys between them who all look different [except for Teddy and Jack who are identical to each other]) but when Drew became another identical, I did not like it.  I only hope I don't have any more the same.  In the ten babies since Drew, only two have been boys (Isaac and Rudy) and Isaac is definitely not an identical, but it's too early to tell for Rudy!

Kang powering down (this is like his sleep).

Daisy casually reverse engineering a nanite - smart girl!
