simsterlyrock | Harding Baby Boomers

Welcome back! I kind of went overboard with taking pictures, so be prepared for a large update this time.

Current Household:
Jefferson Harding, dad
Jordan Harding, mom
Bellatrix Harding, girl 1/12
Blanche Harding, girl 2/12
Bonnie Harding, girl 3/12
Benjen Harding, boy 1/12
Bitterblue Harding, girl 4/12
Beatrice Harding, girl 5/12
Barristan Harding, boy 2/12

Jordan spends the morning taking care of the kids while Jefferson is at work and the other kids are at school.

And I guess that Bitterblue was really close to learning to walk because she got the little doodad with a few seconds of Jordan starting it.

Bellatrix checks herself out in the mirror after school.
XD

I make the girls get jobs to help out with money and so that they can all be overachievers. It's not an official rule (yet?) but if a teenager can be an overachiever, I'm going to say I earn another point. Otherwise the teens are just kinda pointless tbh.

Jefferson and Jordan are about a week away from aging up,
so they finally get some elixir of life and Jefferson takes some. Jordan doesn't have high enough aspiration yet, so she'll have to try and fulfill some wants to get her aspiration up before she takes some elixir.

I gave Bonnie a makeover so that she doesn't have the same hairstyle as Bellatrix anymore. The only way to tell the difference between them was their eye color, so now it's a little bit easier.

Another day spent taking care of the younger kids.

With a slight break to throw up from the next pregnancy.

I missed the doodad, but a very tired Bitterblue learns to talk.

Jefferson reached the top of the Medicine career!

I used Jefferson's promotion money to decorate a second bathroom. One bathroom just was NOT cutting it for such a big family. I don't know why it took me so long to do this.

And Bitterblue is the first toddler to learn all her skills!

Just in time too, because it's her birthday!

Bitterblue looks so nervous.

She's cute though, so it's okay!

Bitterblue isn't tired yet, so she plays chess with Bellatrix for a bit.

Another baby is on the way!

Jordan makes omelettes for breakfast but by the time she finishes them, Jefferson is the only one still at home. So even though the table is set for three, it's just the two of them. Whoops.

Jefferson got 80,000 from a good chance card, so I finish the house!

Bitterblue makes herself a burnt muffin for breakfast before going off to school.

The girls are having a hard time getting promotions even though they have their needed skills.

Jefferson helps Bitterblue with her homework.

Barristan and Beatrice are toddlers now! I think Barristan is my favorite right now just because he's so different from the other kids. I'm hoping some of the other kids get Jordan's skin as well so they don't all look so much like Jefferson.

Jefferson woke up when Jordan did so Jordan (of course) kissed her husband. They have 7 kids and another one on the way, but they're still so in love and it's cute.

Bonnie kept autonomously trying to take care of the babies,
so I roped her into toddler training.

Baby time!

The first one is Ben (from Parks and Rec).

Up next is Brian (from the Outlander series).

And the last one is Baldor (from the Eragon/Inheritance series).

The birth of the triplets gives Jordan a large amount of points for her "Have 10 Children" want, so Jordan is FINALLY in platinum aspiration and is able to take some elixir. Now she's no longer super close to aging up!

Bonnie is my main baby helper because she keeps autonomously doing it.

I had Jefferson and Jordan reroll their LTWs so they actually have a chance to complete them. Jordan's new one is to eat 75 grilled cheeses (annoying but doable) and Jefferson's is Become Prestidigator, so he gets a job in Entertainment.

Bellatrix is our first overachiever!

Blanche follows her twin in becoming an overachiever.

I missed the doodad, but Benjen maxed cooking.

Just in time too, since it's his birthday! He's a Fortune sim with the LTW Earn 100,000. I might try and make him complete that before he ages up and moves out...

First things first, teen job!

It snowed so much that the kids have a snow day, so they spend the day skilling.

Simultaneous skilling reactions are hilarious.

We've got a lot of birthdays coming up. Ben is up first.

Barristan ages up before I can get to the other triplets.

Jefferson interrupts the birthdays with a promotion.

Beatrice's turn is next.

You haven't even finished aging up all the kids. Why are you woohooing right now?!

There we go! Baldor is finally a toddler too.

And the last birthday for tonight is Brian.

Beatrice and Bellatrix both come home from work and aren't tired, so they skill for a while before bed. I also somehow missed Bitterblue and Bellatrix maxing out logic.
