Hello! Sorry the Faunas have disappeared for so long - - the holidays have been hectic for me and I'm still recovering from a nasty cold. -_- No matter, the cold is a good excuse to hunker down and play the sims.
Oh no! The lawn is suffering from my neglect. *is ashamed*
Ah ha! Potion is pregnant. I had forgotten this.
And Manatee too! Simultaneous pregnancy is EPICLY HORRID. No wonder the lawn is in shambles. However, seeing Manatee make the potty training face with that bump is perhaps her cutest and most matronly moment.
Hello miss, that is quite a fancy hair style to be working at a garage. This must be the elusive cutting fashion group of mechanics.
Ok, are you ready for the flurry of births and birthdays that are coming? Brace yourself!
Butler: Nothing interesting going on out here, I suppose I'll head inside.
Flamingo: I KNEW they were lying when they told me storks bring the babies.
Meet Pelican - - from Manatee's alien encounter. Luckily I have
brilliantcat 's PT mod installed so he is heir eligible, mwa ha.
This wallpaper makes me feel like the whole house is at a slant and all my sims are going to topple over at any second. Luckily, this did not happen.
Yessss, Flamingo!
And she promptly passes out from the sheer excitement of it all. I mean, it takes a lot of concentration and furrowed brows to force all those Z's out of your forehead.
Noice, Egret. Don't mind your sleeping sister or anything. We've got some true siblings right here.
Egret: No, don't fall over! Oh good, you're just having a baby.
Dual pregnancy for the win! This little girl is Emu Fauna.
Um, Egret, don't you think it's about time to move on from the scribbling?
Egret is ... not doing well in school? Ok, this is just shameless Egret spam because I think he's adorable.
Flamingo: BORING! When is he going to do cool alien stuff?
Just so that I can be sure of Pelican's family tree. I am hypothesizing that he will be a rockin' good looking guy.
Huh. Well, maybe he will grow into those eyebags.
Egret: This family is getting too large. Let's vote someone out like on Survivor. Flamingo, you're first on my list.
Voted off family members will be fed to the plant monster. Jk, jk. Although maybe we should put a fence around that thing before we lose Flamingo.
Ok, there are SO MANY birthdays we've even got double birthday cakes! Egret first.
Egret: I wish ... that I don't grow up to be a nerd.
Not bad! That sweater vest is pretty nerdy though.
So there you have it, a fortune sim who likes bespectacled red heads and hates creativity. Huh.
Post makeover. We had to get rid of the sweater vest. Pretty cute!
And he's got Potion's nose.
I figured that having a teen boy sleep in the same room with his child sister was just a bit creepy so I redid the garage for him! I think it's a pretty swingin' bachelor pad IMHO.
And Emu has, in one fell swoop, overtaken her sibilings for most adorable Fauna child.
Emu: DAMN THIS HOUSE, WHY MUST THERE BE STAIRS?
Even though Egret has his own rockin' pad he spends most of his time taking care of his little sis. Can we all say 'Awwwww' together now?
Um, Potion, this is supposed to be for your teenage son, who is instead caring for your child. Don't you feel just a little guilty?
Potion: Nope!
Hmm, it seems that Egret is now attracting the laydeez (or at least Ava by
snapun ).
Egret: Hello miss! Are you here to explore my slammin' bachelor pad?
Ava: Actually I just wanted to borrow some sugar.
Egret: Psh! You are a disappointment and shall never see the inside of my bachelor pad.
Ava: *is let down*
Egret: There is one way you can redeem yourself...
Waterballoon fight!
Ava, you probably shouldn't stand so close to the monster plant after having angered a Fauna.
Manatee rolled the want for the kids to enter private school, so it's time for the headmaster song and dance. Steven Phillipine, you rogue, we meet again.
Manatee: So Flamingo, say you knew one of your parents had a sizzling affair ... you wouldn't tell the other, right?
Flamingo: *feels awkward*
Lovely dinner table conversation.
Flamingo: Stop this madness! The stench of corrupted family values is consuming me.
Manatee: I went to college for this?
Yessss, we got in! Victory thriller dance time.
Or, you could celebrate the moment by christening your teenage son's bed. Gross, guys!
More birthday times!
Pelican: How's this for an exciting birthday moment? I am using my alien powers to levitate above my mother's head.
Visitor: Bless the woman who bore this child.
Good, he's starting to grow into the eyes.
C'mon Flamingo, how hard can your homework be? Those are obviously pictures of an ice cream cone, a watermelon slice, and meaningless symbols.
This is a tinkering family for SURE. But miss mechanic, where is your fancy hat? I was so excited to see it.
In other news: the butler is completely useless and the house is falling apart. I guess this isn't really news.
Egret: So Flamingo, say you knew one of your parents had a sizzling affair ... you wouldn't tell the other, right?
Potion: *is still oblivious*
Yay, telescopes are awesome! I am really jealous that my sims get to do this all day ... where's my telescope, huh?
Pelican is winning mucho *adorableness* points by hanging out with his mom on her bed.
Emu would probably have gotten zero parenting altogether if it hadn't been for Egret's attentiveness. I thought you were a fortune sim!
Egret's potty training face. I might die from the cuteness.
Pelican: HAHAHA NOW YOU HAVE TO CLEAN UP POOP.
Could it be?
Another birthday time!
Oh man, Emu's bid for heir is coming in strong now. Tone down those looks, girl!
Potion: Hey, Egret ... do you think you could make me some food?
Yes, Potion is still completely inept in feeding herself, even as the mother of four.
Huh. Ok, I guess.
So, let me get this straight. You loaf around all day not cleaning anything, then stay over to play with the model train set? Damn this hired help.
So pretty much everyone sleeps in here except for Egret, who's bed it is.
Zomg, Pelican is using his awesome alien powers to cause Flamingo to levitate above her bed. Creeeeepy. No wonder she wants to sleep in her brother's bed.
Just a shot to show off the girls' redecorated room.
Good job toning down the looks, Emu.
I love these chance cards. Not cheating = enthusiasm in science. Of course!
And Emu is rewarded for her good ethics with a rousing round of cowboys and indians.
Meanwhile, Egret is jonesing for ... a makeover station? Is this your way of telling me you want a new hairstyle?
Thanks for reading!!
