Back to the Fisher-Reiners! I promise that not every family will be hyphenated because it's getting too much. Also I still can't decide on the type of ROS to use so this is a different one.
With Serena working full time at the club now Talin is going to get a gold badge in pottery.
But first, finally, it's birthday time for Christian who has been a child forever I swear!
He's so wonderful! He's a knowledge sim.
He's laughing at his new bedroom! I added another floor to the house but apparently I didn't take a photo of it? Anyway Christian is into science.

James has to wait until tomorrow for his birthday so he takes it out on Mark.
I caught Talin sneaking away from his pottery wheel to have a moment with Serena.
It's a new day, and James is celebrating his birthday today!
But first, school.
Christian brings home Frankie Lucas after school, he's not really into sports but it's nice to have friends.
Surprise, double birthday. Mark is becoming a child and James is a teenager.
I must have missed his bronze badge but Talin already has silver!
Anyway, Mark gets to go first.
Followed shortly by James.
Here they are together in James' new bedroom. He and Christian share a floor and Mark gets the old nursery to himself.

Time for work for Serena! She brings the boys along too.
Christian doesn't feel like doing much work, thanks buddy.
But oh, what is this?
I checked and James is gay, and has the hots for Rowan Spencer.
Since she's done a great job and never complained, or tried to quit, Suzie gets a raise from Serena.
Back at home Talin and Mark have a boys night in.
It's really relaxing.
As the sun rises Serena pays off a little more of her loan.
And then spends some time with her husband.
The boys spend some time doing homework. I've checked and Christian doesn't have a preference for males or females - it's just neutral which is great for him! I have bigger plans for our future scientist.
Once the homework is done they spend some time at the park which I really need to remember to go in and edit. Then Rowan turned up so the basketball game was cut short!
They spent some time getting to know each other...
And ACR helped with the rest. James is happy, so let's see how Christian is getting on.
Time to go.
Talin managed to max his arts and crafts enthusiasm.
It's so interesting to see the boys having different personalities. James is so outgoing and he speaks to his friends (and Rowan) every day.
Whereas Christian's only wants are to skill and read books so I'm happy to oblige. I've never known an knowledge sim take it so seriously.
Mark hasn't shown much of anything yet but he's great friends with his mother. Maybe he'll inherit in the house when the eventual inevitable happens.
Talin is finally free of pottery duty!
Serena is planning a special lunch.
James brought Rowan home to meet the family. It seemed to go down well.
The evening ends with some kissing, cuddling and official business. James asked Rowan to be his boyfriend.
Mark is adorable I wish I'd taken more pictures of him.
The last few hours of the round are approaching and the weather is decent, so Serena is making the most of it.
Unfortunately for her so is Talin.
And that's all for this round! Serena's business remained the same but some good progress was made. Christian grew up into a science loving knowledge sim who's hitting the books. James grew up into an outgoing family sim who now has a boyfriend. Mark grew up into a quiet child who's personality will surely blossom as he grows up. Talin mastered pottery. The family are doing okay in my books, tax was double since I didn't do it last time.
