Harding Baby Boomers | Part Eight

[simsterlyrock]

Welcome back! Last time we had Bitterblue, Barristan, and Beatrice grow up and move out of the household, and Bianca was born, putting us at 9 girls and only 6 boys. Crossing my fingers that the numbers even out before I have too many more girls. I have more boy names picked out. XD

Current Household:
Jefferson Harding, dad
Jordan Harding, mom
Ben Harding, boy 3/12
Baldor Harding, boy 4/12
Brian Harding, boy 5/12
Brooke Harding, girl 6/12
Billy Harding, boy 6/12
Barb Harding, girl 7/12
Birgit Harding, girl 8/12
Bianca, girl 9/12




The week starts with Billy maxing logic before school.






Once Jefferson is at work and the older kids are at school, Jordan makes herself a grilled cheese for breakfast (still working on that LTW to eat 75 grilled cheeses and it's for-freaking-ever) and then gives Bianca some love. They ended up becoming best friends, which is super cute.







Bianca just needs to learn to talk and she'll be the second toddler to be fully trained.




Jefferson has now maxed all of his skills!






It was at this point that I realized my larger households mod got removed at some point, because they couldn't try for a baby. I was too lazy to exit the game, redownload and reinstall it, and then reload the game, so they'll just wait until the triplets move out to have the next baby. But next week I'll use and abuse the larger household mod and make them have as many kids as they can in a week. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. XD




Baldor seems to be the only one who knows what he's doing on his homework. XD




With so many Sims, everything is either dirty or broken, so Jordan spends an afternoon cleaning the house.




She's also able to teach Bianca to talk, meaning that Bianca is the second toddler to learn all three skills.




Bianca learned to talk just in time, because it's her birthday!




She's super cute! Also, I feel like most of the kids are just clones of each other, but I don't always remember to roll the pacifier in CAS, so that's my own fault. Luckily they're cute.




First burglar of the challenge! This is actually a little bit exciting.






That's not quite as exciting. Dang cop.




Apparently watching the cop get beat by the burglar was very...exciting...for Jordan. She couldn't resist pulling Jefferson in for a kiss. XD




Bianca ended up discovering her OTH while dancing on Brian's feet. <3




The next morning, Jordan takes a much deserved bubble bath while the kids are still asleep.




But she won't get a break from the kids since there's a skill snow day!








The kids spend the day skilling in their PJs.




Third LTW for Jefferson! Hopefully Jordan will be able to catch up soon (she's at like 35 or 40 out of her required 75 grilled cheese sandwiches). Jefferson's new LTW is to become a World Class Ballet Dancer.




Ignoring the gross plate from someone's earlier meal, it sure is nice to see some of the kids sitting down and eating together.




Brian maxed either cooking or mechanical, but now I don't remember which one it was this week.






Birthday time for the triplets, starting with Ben.




Oops.




Your brother is having a nervous breakdown, Brooke. Have some sympathy. :P






Baldor is up next.






And Brian finishes off the birthdays.




Jordan instantly gets started on the portraits so that the triplets can move out and I'll have room for more babies.






Brian and Ben spend the next morning skilling some more while Jordan finishes Baldor's portrait and gets started on theirs.




By the early afternoon, Ben has maxed creativity.




Jefferson helps with the portraits so that they can get finished sooner.






Birthday time for Birgit and Barb! Barb is first and is now Fortune/Grilled Cheese. And I forgot to check her and Birgit's LTWs. Whoops.






Birgit is Pleasure/Fortune.




Time for the triplets to move out!






Buh-bye boys! Have fun stormin' da castle!

bonus points if you know what movie that's from




And their completed portraits.






Now that there's room, it's time to try for a baby again!




Bianca woke up at 5 in the morning and just started playing chess by herself. Okay then.










Jordan is suddenly really tired. I wonder why? ;)




Birgit maxed logic!




Yay!




Jefferson was able to find a job in his new dream career.




I had Jordan change her outfit again, even though it doesn't have a pregnancy mesh. But it's the middle of winter, so she shouldn't be wearing a sundress anymore. XD




I missed the doodad, but Barb maxed logic.









A burglary and a fire in one update? This has been an exciting week!




Brooke maxed Mechanical!







The house has gotten dirty again, so Jordan spends the day cleaning.




The nice thing about having teenagers in the house is that they can cook a meal and the kids can eat too!




Poor Jordan. It took her a while to get through her sandwich because she kept passing out.










Baby time!




The first baby is Bilbo (from the Lord of the Rings series).




And his twin is Bill (from Harry Potter). And we'll just ignore the fact that I now have a Benjen and a Ben and a Billy and a Bill.




Barb finds her OTH while tuning the piano.







Too bad Jefferson couldn't have completed two LTWs in one week.




I leave you with Jordan and Jefferson cuddling in bed since Jefferson has the day off.
