Frank's back!
I forgot to make a title graphic, so I'll just use this lovely shot of Frank until I get one made. =P
Last update, the triplets grew into toddlers, giving the Augh household five, count 'em, FIVE screaming, smelly, needy toddlers all at once. I could barely handle it.
Oh yeah, and I discovered that I had mixed up Roger and Jordan's favorite colors. Jordan actually likes white, while Roger likes spice brown. I've adjusted their clothes accordingly.
Frank helps Robin learn how to play the xylophone.
While Jordan learns the xylophone on his own.
Roger: Brother! Let's play together!
Jordan: Nope. I'm in the middle of a wicked xylophone solo. *rocks out*
Frank: Okay, hit this one next.
Robin: Smack daddy's finger? Okay!
Robin: Dammit, missed!
Frank: Woah, woah! That got a little close sweetie! I'm tired of this, let's put you to bed.
Robin: He's tired and I have to go to bed?
Frank: Zzzz...snkhsxz!
Sierra: WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!! *is lonely in a room full of her sleeping sisters*
Robin & Aspen: STFU!!
Jordan: *jams mallet into gums*
Way to work on those musical skills there, champ.
Fortunately for her sisters, Avery came by to snuggle Sierra out of her loneliness.
Robin: I'm lonely too!
Avery: I think it's trying to communicate with me...
Avery decided to practice her pitch (she's a virtuoso after all) against the toy xylophone. Which, by the way, is all the way in the other room. She's just that good.
Frank: Can you say CD?
Sierra: This is so much fun!
Robin: Hee! Blocks in box!
Jordan: Do they all have to be in here?
Frank: Can you say bottle?
Sierra: Football!
Frank: *is ashamed*
Damn, Frank! Disappointment much!?
Frank: Okay... can you say fish?
Sierra: Fish go to school!
Frank: Uhhh... yeah? Yeah! Good... good job! Wow.
Aspen: Let's make this room the living room, and pretend that the mommy doll just came home from work. "Hoooney! I'm hoooome!" Now you be the daddy doll.
Robin: OMNOMNOMNOMNOM!!
I went looking for all of the kids when I lost Roger, and then found him hiding in the toy box, spying on his sisters.
Frank: Would you just learn to talk already? I'm fucking starving!!
Jordan: Heehee! Daddy's fucking starving!
Kids say the darndest things. XD
I decided to send Avery out for a while, since she was going a little stir crazy from being on mandatory maternity leave for so long. Look how happy she is!
I sent her to the diner. (For some reason the image uploaded all wonky. I'll try to fix it later.)
Robin: Rrrerrrrererrrr! *tears off daddy doll's head*
Aspen: You're playing it wrong.
Robin, sweetie. Do we need to have a little talk?
Avery took advantage of her alone time away from the kids to play her guitar behind the diner.
Avery: Don't tell them I'm here!
Oh yeah, and before she left, she broke the sink. I made her fix it herself this time, though. She needs to learn that you can't just break stuff and expect to have your husband fix it.
It's been so long since Frank's had a chance to just stare out the window. Are things beginning to calm down?
Jordan: Not if I can help it.
Heh, actually, I think he was just going to use the potty. I actually managed to get the twins pretty self-sufficient (as self-sufficient as toddlers can be) before...
Birthday time!!! XD XD XD Oh god, finally!
Avery: Honey, it's Roger's birthday!
Roger: Happy birthday to meee!
Frank: Bwahahaha! Good thing you finally learned how to walk! Cuz you'd look pretty stupid being the only kid crawling around your school!
Roger: ...
Roger looks so happy to finally be growing up!
He grew up very sparkly.
Next is Jordan's turn, and would you look at that! Frank's actually helping him celebrate! Ohgodthatssocute!! XD
Roger: Happy birthday, you little worm! Woo! *cheers*
Avery: *does not mock* Yaaaaay! Happy birthday, Jordan!
Jordan: Thanks, Mommy! I love you!
Avery: *cheers*
Frank: What is she yelling about?
Jordan: ...
Jordan? Are you okay? Is all the excitement too much for you?
Jordan is just as happy as his brother to be growing up as well.
Jordan: Who's the worm now? I'm the same size as you are again, and I'm keeping an eye on you.
Jordan: A close eye.
Roger: Am I gunna get shivved?
Now now, boys. I don't need a couple of enemies to start off this legacy with.
Jordan: Just so you know, today is totally my birthday, so ya know. You should respect.
Jordan: Cuz, you know. It's all about me today. Mom and Dad made a big deal of it and everything.
Roger: Yeah, today is our--
Jordan: Man, I love my birthday!!
Roger: Yeah. I love your birthday, too. Happy birthday, you self-centered jerk.
Jordan: Oh hey, little word of advice. I'd watch out for that blond guy. He's a little ... "funny" ... if you know what I mean.
Roger: Dad? What's wrong with Dad?
Jordan: Oh, n-nothing. Here he comes. IgottagoIllseeyalaterbye.
Frank: I once met someone, all shiny and new. It's such a great feeling to meet a new person.
Frank: And it wasn't even on TV! I thought that you only met people on TV, but this was actually in real life! I was so impressed!
Frank: You know what show I really like? That one where they make these really awesome cakes!
Roger: Oh yeah, I think I saw--
Frank: This one guy made a cake that was like this big and I thought he was gunna win for sure, and you know what? He did.
Roger: Uh-huh, that's nice, Da--
Frank: So now he's a famous star because he wins all the time.
Roger: Um, I'm just gunna go now--
Frank: Some day I'm gunna try to get tickets to see him. That would be soooo sweeet!
Roger: *siiiighhh*
LOL RAMBLE!! XD XD XD
Jordan: *daddy doll voice* Honey, I'm home! *mommy doll voice* Hi sweetie! Dinner's in the oven! Mwah! I love you! *daddy doll voice* I love you too! ... *sigh* I wish my daddy wasn't crazy.
He's... neurotic, sweetie. Neurotic and inappropriate.
I sent Frank out of the house for a while, for some reason I can't remember any more. Maybe it was to get the book he's reading. Or maybe it was because he was starting to go a little stir-crazy.
Thanks for helping to clean up, Jordan, but um. Don't you think you should be a little more careful? I don't think your parents want to clean up cake off the floor
Dumb Townie: I can't talk to this guy because the grocery store is in the way!
For once, Frank is the smarter one in this interaction.
Dumb Townie eventually gave up, leaving Frank to go back to reading his book with strange children. Do your parents know where you are, kid?
Sierra, Aspen & Robin: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! *starve*
Avery: *siiiighhh*
