Wednesday, Day 10
"And Cindy Lou Makes Two"
Angie Killeen, Oceanside's super nanny and everyone's favorite sim, starts the season thinking about her dream girl, cashier Cindy Lou Larsen, over breakfast.
Ang has to mentally prepare for today. She has 10 more toddlers enrolled in her little day care, bringing the total to a whopping 16 students! She's going to need some help, and fast!
With the weather starting to change, Angie thought it best to put away the sun dress in favor of warmer threads.
Watching her favorite movie "Pirate Wolf" before the tots arrive helps her calm down and not worry so much about how she will teach all of these students by herself. She asked the wannabe mayor, Malcolm Landgraab for an assistant but he just blew her off.
As the students pour in Angie panics. She needs help! Luckily there was someone who was just a phone call away...
Cindy Lou, also a Family sim, loves children and eagerly agreed to help Angie out for the day. Thank the Watcher.
Cindy Lou gets to know cutie pie Eve Goodacre...
while Angie picks up where she left off with Nico Firestone -- teaching him to talk.
The other children make themselves busy finding things to do.
Vin Firestone and Henry Lambswool play with the hand-carved wooden animals.
A group of tots wiggle to the classical music playing on the stereo.
Aria Mason-Troubadour and Kira Yomoshoto play quietly by themselves.
Nico is finally getting the hang of it!
At the creativity table Malcolm M. Landgraab colors while Bianca Lambswool plays with the blocks.
Evie has taken a shine to Miss Cindy Lou.
Gavin Biltmore huggles Mr. Bear Naked.
Now that they're acquainted, Cindy Lou can teach Eve how to talk.
Nico is a stubborn one!
Aiden Biltmore joins the girls to play with the scary rabbit head thingy.
*This is when I moved the toys from against the wall in order to get better pictures*
Faith Goodacre is still a cutie patooty! So is dancing machine Cyan Troubadour-Bossanova!
Shapes are hard, yo.
ULTIMATE BOTTLE SMACK-DOWN #1
Malcolm vs. Henry!
FIGHT!
DING DING DING
The Winner: Henry Lambswool!
Even though the other dancers have moved on Heath Biltmore and Antonio Lambswool keep on keeping on.
Good job, Nico!
Angie then moves on to Cyan. I think she's upset because you stopped her from dancing.
:D
The day care Queen B, Gwyneth Landgraab, congratulates Henry on his win against her brother.
Eve is the second new talker of the day!
And just like her sister before her...
Faith is denied a huggle with the Queen.
Kira is next on the list. Cindy Lou tickles her into submission.
The toddlers are starting to make their way into the nap room.
Yes, another one down!
With that it's time to close for the day. Cindy Lou gives Angie a big kiss goodbye before leaving.
Angie wishes that Cindy Lou would've stayed a bit longer :(
As the kidlets pile out...
Angie eats...
showers...
and takes a nap.
It's still early when Angie wakes up. Hopefully she can call Cindy Lou and have her come over. Angie has been thinking of Cindy Lou non-stop. She thinks it's time to make it official!
Cindy Lou barely has a chance to step through the door when...
BAM! A diamond!
They're engaged!! ^.^
Angie and Cindy Lou celebrate their engagement -- by woohooing on the waiting room couch? Noooo!
For some reason Cindy Lou forgot she was already in love with Angie! Huh?
Since Cindy Lou has agreed to help out in the day care -- without earning a paycheck -- and they're engaged now, Angie asks her to move in.
That's the most money an NPC has brought in! Way to go Angie!!
Thursday, Day 11
"Double Date?"
OK, just stop being cute right now.
Cindy Lou Larsen is a 7-0-7-3-8 Family/Knowledge Aquarius. Her LTW is to marry off 6 children (oh, God no. No more children!). She likes mechanical ladies that also know their way around a kitchen -- but please don't smell too bad. That's a big turn off for her. She has high interests in crime and travel but her biggest passion is tinkering. Cindy Lou's traits are bookworm, loves the cold, clumsy, conservative, and loves to swim.
Cindy Lou also has a 7 cooking skill. She doesn't want to hurt Angie's feelings, but she would prefer to cook the meals from now on.
I'm sure Angie won't mind one bit. Those pancakes look delicious!
After a quick clean up...
Angie opens the day care. She picks up where Cindy Lou left off yesterday with her bestie's daughter Kira.
The dance party commences.
Cindy Lou is finally liberated from her apron and wears a brand new, super cute outfit!
Cindy Lou grabs her next student, Aiden, and plays with him a bit before talking lessons.
Cindy Lou is having a tough time getting through to Aiden. Looks like his twin, Gavin, wants to learn as well.
Aria is back at those blocks again. You can do it, baby!
She might not be happy about it, but Kira is among the talking!
Angie moves on to Gavin next.
I... don't think that's how it works, Malcolm.
Way to go Aria! I told you to keep trying!
Aria: This block better go in there or I'm tearing up the place!
Cyan drew a very sophisticated red bird!
Eve: *wiggles*
Faith: *cries*
Gwyneth: I hate these Goodacre girls.
The wall of art is steadily growing.
ULTIMATE BOTTLE SMACK-DOWN #2
Gwyneth vs. Eve!
FIGHT!
DING DING DING
The Winner: Eve Goodacre!
See, that's what you get for stealing the bottle from Eve before!
GOOD GIRL!!!
:D
It's soon time for the munchkins to head home. Some don't look too happy to leave :(
After work the duo tidy up the front and back lawns.
Kira's mom, Minka Yomoshoto, stops by and is greeted by Angie. She and Minka are best friends and both are members of the Blue Hat Society.
After watching the horrible fight that Minka got into over Diego Bossanova -- and their subsequent break-up -- Angie is hoping that Minka would be interested in meeting someone new. Angie really doesn't think Diego is good enough for Minka.
Even though she's still broken-hearted over Diego, Minka is always down to meet a cute new guy.
Well, here he is now! Angie is sure Minka and Rocky Kotsomiti will hit it off!
Oh Angie, we tried that already, remember?
Minka's not so sure about her and Rocky, but Angie's a hard ass. Minka will give it a shot.
Cindy Lou is upstairs cooking pork chops for dinner. She's excited to meet more of Angie's friends, especially since she has no friends of her own.
Is it supposed to look like that? It is? Good job?
Ang tries to sell Minka on Rocky.
Angie: ...and you know what's great about having a doctor for a girlfriend? FREE MEDICAL CARE! Huh? Huh? Am I right?
Minka: This is so embarrassing...
I'm terribly sorry.
Dinner is served.
Knowing there's no way out of this set-up, Minka tries a bit of small talk with Rocky.
Minka: I hope the upcoming winter won't be too cold on the island.
Rocky: Well, when you've been living in a dank, dark, rat infested cave -- as I have been before Vivian Landgraab mercifully let me rent her old house -- what's a little cold weather?
Cindy Lou: ...
Angie: *chokes on food*
Luckily the rest of dinner was not as awkward. Rocky regaled the ladies with tales of his morning hair routine and how they too could have luscious, flowing locks. OK, it was awkward.
After Rocky leaves the table to watch EA Boxing, Angie tries to get a feel on how the night is going.
Angie: So what did you think?
Minka: Shhh, I'm trying to concentrate on getting the pinks to line up.
Minka's not going to let on to Angie, but she actually thinks Rocky is pretty hot. My poor Minka. She has the WORST taste in men!
Rocky surprises Minka with a gift! Minka put an ad in the paper that if any sim had the rare elixir, ReNuYu Porta-Chug, she would be happy to buy it off of them to sell in her clinic. Rocky had some and gave it to her... for free.
Seeing that things are going well between Minka and Rocky, Angie and Cindy Lou decide to get romantic as well.
The only problem -- Rocky seems more interested in watching them than talking to Minka!
It's all fun and games until someone steps on your foot.
They say good night to their guests...
and turn in for the night.
