So we ended last chapter with Anakin growing up to child stage and gaining the Insane trait after Ben was miraculously spared by Death. I apologize in advance but this chapter will be a birthday chapter!
Isn’t he adorable!? Ben and Cindy make good looking kids!
Oh, and this thing decided to burrow up from the earth RIGHT ON THEIR FRONT LAWN! Future adventures to be had soon? Perhaps.
Ben: It’s crying!
Then look after the poor child!
Ben: Do I have to?
Yes!
Where did you get homework from? You haven’t even been to school yet!
Anakin: 5 times 7 is… uh….
Apparently Anakin is a goodie two shoes with homework and is starting it BEFORE his first day of school! (When I transferred the game file to my other computer it must have spawned the homework… only explanation I can think of…)
Ben: Now son, remember this rhyme. I ate and I ate and I got sick on the floor. Get it? 8 times 8 is 64!
Anakin: Gah… Daaaad, I’m trying to concentrate…
He’s such a good father, helping his son get ahead in school. 🙂
Cindy: I’m on to you child. You may have been born by Ben, but you are not mine. I will not let you ruin my children with your alien ways. Understand? Good…
You’re kinda creepy Cindy… put the baby down… slowly…
Anakin: I am King! And I say cookies and ice cream for all!!
Nice try kid. But I don’t think there are any cookies. There’s ice cream though… go look in the fridge!
Now who did this?! Where’s Ben, he’s supposed to be fixing things, not breaking them…
Ben: I didn’t do it!
I don’t believe you.
So when the game file transferred Cindy decided that even though her age bar had hit 0 she would just stay a young adult. Generally I haven’t been using birthday cakes since they have been causing way to many fires lately. However, after a couple of days of her neglecting to age up on her own I decided to do it for her.
Cindy: Oh, a cake! Ben, you shouldn’t have! What should I wish for…
Cindy: *Gasp!* Sparkles! I’ll just close my eyes and they’ll go away and I’ll still be young and beautiful…
Cindy: A-ha! I have triumphed! I am beautiful!
She actually doesn’t look too different. Sometimes they get early wrinkles and I laugh hysterically!
Where are you off to, Mr. Anakin in his fancy pants.
Anakin: It’s the first day of school! I have to make the right impression.
Does he remind you of anyone?
Blast from the past… ahhaahahahahaha. XD
Poor Kenneth seems to be ignored. So here’s a shot of him beating up his IF doll. These things are seriously creepy and I’m thinking of taking them away.
Look at Anakin get right down to homework after school! Star student right here, folks! Don’t mind the creepy Gnome-puppy, this is the first time I’ve seem him up close and I don’t like his bug-eyes!
Ben: Uh-oh… But I-
You are supposed to be fixing things! Stop breaking everything!
Ben: Well maybe if we actually had nice things they wouldn’t break for no reason!
Hey, if you want nice things you need to get out in that garden and make it grow! You sell produce, remember? Kinda hard to sell when YOU HAVE NONE!
And so he decides to ignore my push to go out in the garden and trains Kenneth to walk instead. At least he’s spending time with the child everyone ignores!
So here is Frankie looking all alien-ish. I did a slight makeover…
Awe. Brother bonding time! I swear, all they do is play with those dolls. They have a toy box and the block and music toys, but noooooooo. They sit there with these dolls all day.
More homework! Keep it up Anakin and you’ll be on the honour roll in no time!! 😀
Apparently Ben didn’t get to finish training Kenneth how to walk! Like I said, he is the ignored child, poor kid.
OHMIGAWSH! He’s so cute! I clicked that hair just for laughs (because I’m cruel like that) but I think it actually suits him!
I just want to take a moment to point out how good this family is. Everyone is in bed, at night, and sleeping peacefully. Even the dog! Also, I wanted a shot of their current house. There’s a bathroom in the corner that is cut off. I’m thinking of demolishing and giving them a better layout… any thoughts?
Kenneth’s first day of school! And since he’s not Insane like his brother and father he is dressed in normal clothing. I’m so proud of you!
YAY!!!! First honour roll student! +5 points!
Hmmmm…. and a possible second close behind? We’ll have to see!
Also! Ben FINALLY grew a life fruit! And Cindy got another promotion. It’s not much but maybe I can build them a slightly better house… or update their appliances. Decisions, decisions.
