1.8 Growing Up and Winding Down

Welcome back, friends! I'd like to start today with a sweet little picture of Sasha and Milo doing some bonding :) 

We also see miss Terri earning the daughter of the year award by washing her birthday cake dishes all on her own! Yay!

She then sat down and pulled Cuddles (that's the name her new IF doll had) out to play with him. Until this point, I had decided to change what the next life state in game will be because I didn't want to run the risk of  them not having an IF baby and not being able to cheat around it. But she looked so happy... :(

So......I rearranged some things in Sasha and Xavier's bedroom to make room for this. Screw it. You can't fight a true connection like the one between a genie girl and her IF doll :( I'm just gonna stay positive and hope for the best.

Since she's the only one I can control, I sent Sasha right to work. Working up to that IF potion while having to go to work herself AND maintain the household is gonna be a challenge, so I didn't wanna waste any time. Every free second she has right now is spent at this lab station. The things a mother will do for her daughter!

Meanwhile, over in Roy's bedroom the guitar playing room, the rest of the family has gathered to listen to Fiona play. She must be doing pretty good, Virginia's got that "I'm so cool sitting here listening to this guitar player" face goin' on :D

Soon enough it was time for bed. However, along the way, little miss Terri decided she couldn't hold it any longer. And I had such high hopes for her after the dishes thing D: Apparently Fiona was reminded by this of her dire need to pee. And Cuddles....was not impressed, hahaha :)

Of course, what better place for Fiona to have a pee fail than right on top of her sister's pee fail? LOOK at that face!

Never-the-less, it was bed time. I used Terri's free child action to show her to her nifty new loft bed. Soon after, all the other kids went to their own beds on their own :D My pride in them was restored...even though it was really late and they hardly got any sleep at all. And Sasha had time to clean up the pee puddles, disgusting toilet (which amazes me with how little they seem to use it -_-) and other such fun things.

I won't lie to you guys, this is honestly just a shameless excuse to show off her super cute everyday wear :)

Yes, the previous picture does indicate that a new day has dawned on our beloved Andrie family! The kids are all at school and Sasha is at work. Xavier takes advantage of this golden alone time to play his guitar some more! Such angst...

After school, the lack of sleep caught up with Fiona who passed out...in front of the school...again...in the rain. Why does she always have to pass out when there's weather?!

When she got home, I had Sasha use the "go to bed" action. Thankfully, she went.

Roy and Virginia made me proud by sitting down to do their homework together on their own! The little boy in the background is a friend that Virginia brought home with her. You may also notice the massive stink cloud radiating from Roy. Oh, that's nasty...

Terri made sure to make time for secrets with her IFBFF :) The little dark haired boy in the orange sweater is a friend that Roy brought home with him. 

Roy's little friend turned out to be a werewolf. It just happened to be a full moon that night. Damnit.

Really, Xav? Those extra two inches were too much of a stretch for you?

It's yet another new spring day in Moonlight Falls. This one, however, is special. It's Roy's teen birthday! It's ALSO finally time for Xavier's adult birthday! But first...

EEEEEEEE!!!! :D:D:D:D

(Sorry. I get really excited when genie children do that.) Anywho, on to the festivi - waaaait a minute! Sasha has a phone call from Mr. Van Gould! He called to.....ask her on a date. Yes, Ayden, we all know that Xavier is a little quirky and he pees himself when he's standing right in front of the toilet (fume), but Sasha is a (surprisingly) happily married woman. And, no, she doesn't want to know if the rumor is true that "once you go vamp, you never go back." 

Now, as I was saying, back to the festivities! First up, we have Roy. This picture also represents that Roy has gotten on the honor roll!!! Yeeeeaaaaahhh!! 

I randomly rolled Roy's trait and he got....brooding. Hahaha...oooh yes...a brooding teenage boy? This will be epic fun :D

And finally, we have everybody's favorite genie stepping up to the plate for his birthday! The family gathers around him to celebrate and eat lots and lots of cake!

And that is where I leave you all for the evening! As you can see, we are winding down this generation of One Life State to Live! I'm pretty excited :D About two more chapters before it's Terri's turn to take the reigns. We'll have a couple big birthdays coming up in the next installment! Hope you enjoyed this update! Unfortunately, even though we have the positive addition of Roy making the honor roll, we're still at a negative. In fact, we gain negative points today! We have lots to document, so let's get right to it.
