ink_sec_simsHate to tell you this, but today was pretty boring for the Liddells. But it's a day closer to getting a new family member, and it's short, so deal.
The adults eat chocolate banana pancakes while the child plays chess. Something seems slightly off-kilter here.
Alice: I've been wondering -- does Cheshire counts as a pet or not?
Cheshire: Does any cat really count as a 'pet?'
Burn.
Yes, I am making the pregnant woman fix the sink. She's the only one with any mechanical skill.
Everyone else in the family leaves for school and work, leaving Lorina to sew her little brains out.
The wide curtain! Still looks to me like it's got rugs draped over it, but the sale covers a fine Henry incurred at work thanks to a chance card (bleh).
Dinah's still doing her thing. Sometimes I feel bad about not doing all that much with her -- then I remember she's a cat, and thus probably doesn't give a shit.
What are you doing home early?
Cheshire: Got promoted to Science Teacher.
. . .The chance card you just got was for the Games hobby. You played poker.
Cheshire: I won a promotion off the boss.
All righty then, get in there and study some cleaning so you can get another promotion.
Cheshire: Will do. Thanks for the thinking cap -- and do we have walls now?
Yeah, I left them up after showing off the curtains.
Average afternoon at the Liddell household. If only Lorina would get that silver badge!
Alice and Henry come home, Henry with a promotion to Substitute Teacher. Alice plays with Dinah to try and get her fun up. I've always found Cat Teaser pretty amusing.
Henry: Now remember, no slapping Daddy's hands really hard. You can be downright violent at times.
Alice: I'm sorry, it's a holdover from my angry and bitter video game self.
Alice: Will this hobby magazine let me know why Victor likes pianos so much?
Dunno, but put it down for a second so I can show the readers something.
Probably not the best photo, but look at that line-up. This house gets FOUR hobby magazines -- Cuisine, Games, Music & Dance, and Arts & Crafts. And they end up all over the floor and causing a mess. >.<
Alice: Hey, Cheshire, will you read me a story?
Cheshire: Sure!
*both promptly forget what they were doing because they keep getting in each other's way* This house needs a better design.
Eventually, though, storytime happens. Just occurred to me I should have taken a picture of Cheshire talking about toilets, not xylophones. Toilets are infinitely funnier.
Recursive speeches are recursive speeches are recursive speeches are --
Henry: That joke isn't as funny as you think it is.
Um, Lorina? You're married, pregnant with your second child, and your first child is going to end up marrying their son. So get those fantasies out of your head right now.
Henry calls up his friend Patrick while Alice and Cheshire sit down to grilled cheese.
Henry: Oh, my wife's my best friend! And I know she'd never dream of looking at anyone else!
Um. . .yeah. Course she wouldn't.
We can't let this pregnancy pass by without at least one silly "talk to belly" interaction.
Lorina: Sleep tight, Alice.
Awwwww. How adorable.
Lorina: And when you marry Victor Van Dort, invite your in-laws and us over for lots of family gatherings.
. . .Less adorable.

And we end the update of boring on some house remodeling! Basically I pulled out the back to give everybody a bit more room and create a little nursery -- that's the tiny green room behind Cheshire's room. It'll all look more put-together next time I play, promise.
All right, sorry that wasn't exactly gripping. Maybe the Garfunkles will have a bit more for us next time. After all, they've got a teenager now. . .
