Babies 42 & 43

This is Zane Titch.  He is a witch who lives with Tyson (Monroe's father) and Bryce (Eden and Ashby's father).  

 He's the next father on my list, hence the kissing.  FUN FACT: I have had a total of FIVE children with witches (my triplets, Monet, Rory and Effie, and twins Wren and Ryan) but NONE of them have inherited their father's powers.  I'm hoping it will be different this time.

 Wow, I'm looking super old here.  Well, I have raised 41 children - who can blame me?!

 Timber decided to photosynthesise in the concrete outside the school.  Not sure it was effective.

 It's prom time!  Timber, Ashby and Eden in the limo.

 While this was happening, Monroe aged up!  She gained the Frugal trait.

 Meeting Zane in the bushes again. 

 A deer! 

 Ashby maxing out the Martial Arts skill.

 Timber and Ashby went fishing.  I think they were having a fight, but I made them go out for some brotherly bonding.  

 I really liked this painting I created.  I guess it reminded me of my (very large) family. 

 Monroe wanted to take Ladybug for a walk (or should I say float?). It was a sight to see.

 There was a procession of Big Lemons waiting to run them over!  Always happens at that spot.

 Visiting the consignment store, which I don't do very often.

 Oh, hey Lila! (Baby 27)

This paparazzi got struck by lightning!  I guess it serves her right for lurking outside our house.

I invited Zane over to "get to it".

After already being pregnant 23 times, I knew that this meant it was a success.

 Being a vampire, Ashby maxed out his Sculpting skill in one sculpture, making this majestic beast.

He then moved onto ice.

 Ladybug bit Monroe's spirited hand when she tried to pet her...

 I've missed this - 24th pregnancy here I come!

 Ashby got on the Honour Roll today, so I made his favourite dish for dinner - ratatouille!

Eden had an opportunity to learn the writing skill.  She sat down and within less than an hour was already on level 8!  Those vampires... she also got to pick another trait from being in the Nerd social group - she picked Bookworm.

 Ashby made this brilliant sculpture, which was worth around $1000!

 Yet despite having maxed out three skills already, he finds time to set a booby trap.

 A shot of me finally maximising the cooking skill!

On Leisure Day we went to the Summer festival where we saw Drew (Baby 24)!

Timber having a water balloon fight with big sister Ryan (Baby 37) while the paparazzi snaps away.

Wren (Baby 36), townie Shonna, Ashby and Eden in the hotdog eating contest.

 Meanwhile, in the bathroom, this is happening - not very leisurely!  So I drove myself to the hospital.

Meet Baby 42, Briar Louise - yet another girl!  She has the Genius and Loves the Cold traits.

Ha!  I tricked you!  Briar has a twin brother!  Baby 43 is Patrick Zane.  He has the Good and Perceptive traits.  Zane doesn't seem to think that either of them are witches like him, which is a tad disappointing, but I am super excited to have only my fifth set of girl/boy twins!  The last set of twins I had were girl/boy as well, with Eden and Ashby.

A Welcomed Graduation

A few days after Sam's birthday into a young adult, it is Ryan and Wren's turn!

There Wren goes!

And Ryan!

Oh look, their daddy Zac is here.

Meanwhile Daisy (#30) and I are discussing rubbish over cake.

Here's Baby 36, Wren Esmerelda, as a Young Adult.  She gained the Perfectionist trait. Her LTW is Monster Maker.

And Baby 37, Ryan Zelda!  She gained the Lucky trait.  Her LTW is One Sim Band.  I don't think I've ever mentioned this, but their middle names (Esmerelda and Zelda) are inspired by their father Zac Whipsnake - he's a witch! Neither of them inherited his powers though. I also like how they both have his exact lips.

It's 3am after the party and Daisy Nickole is still here working out in the living room!

I was surprised to learn that these three (Sam, Wren and Ryan) were graduating today! We haven't had a graduation since Sloane and Paris (Babies 25 and 26) for some reason.  I ride to city hall in my limo whilst my peasant children take taxis and the car.

Ryan!

She graduated with highest honour and was awarded Most Likely to be a Rock Star.

Wren the Valedictorian!  She also graduated with highest honour and was voted Most Likely to Save the World.  Is that often assumed of Evil sims?

And last but not least, Sam!  Like his sisters, he too graduated with highest honour and was voted Most Artistic.  That's Sam, alright!  I also have NO idea why he is wearing a snapback instead of a graduation cap.

Afterwards we went to the restaurant to celebrate.  We got a free meal out of it for me being a celebrity!  A previous time we were here we got a free Baked Angel Food Cake, so this place is quite lucky for us.

This is all of us.  No one brought Monroe with them to the graduation so she stayed home alone!  Loser mummy is standing in the background to eat her falafel.

Everyone got fancy meals like ceviche and frogs legs but Wren the Valedictorian got hot dogs. 

There I am.

Congratulations Wren, Ryan and Sam!
