Round 13: Trey and Paige Cipriani

Last week in Trey and Paige's house the couple were married in a lovely backyard ceremony. Trey reached his LTW (TOC in the slacker career), Paige had twins Iris and Adam who grew up to toddlers. Trey took a second career in the music field.

As you can see, Trey and Paige decided to remodel the house. They had the money and decided that it was time to expand. Unfortunately there is no shots of the backyard, but these pics shows off the second level sun room, a unique feature of their lovely new house.

A special visitor decided to pop by. None other than Paige's dog Mushi. Paige adopted Mushi from her now sister in law Sharon Cipriani in her Round 11 update. Unfortunately since Paige was a townie at the time, Mushi was plopped into the stray pets pool and had only come by a couple of times since Paige had moved in with Trey.

Luckily by now, Paige had a high enough relationship with the little mutt to adopt her. Finally, Mushi was home!

So they had some behavior issues to work through, but the family couldn't have been happier to welcome Mushi into their lives.

******************

And who could forget these two cutie pies?

Adam

Iris

Their birthday was fast approaching, but in the meantime they kept thier parents busy.

Luckily Trey and Paige still found time for eachother.

*********************

When it was time, Trey threw a small party for the twins birthday.

Just a few family members were in attendance, aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Happy Birthday Iris and Adam!

(Obviouslly not their transition pic, but too darn cute not to use!)

Back at the birthday party...

Trey's brother Toby was in attendance, and you may know that he is Rose Island's resident werewolf...well, the party went late and he "changed" in front of his brothers for the first time.

Let's just say they weren't thrilled about it, and quickly dispersed.

************************

Since the kids were grown and heading off to school, Paige decided that it was time to get them into private school.

Headmaster Stats:

Food 46, Tour 41, Schmooze 0, Bonus 10, Total 97/90

Headmaster Berjes Mcarthur paid them a visit. And after discovering recently that an extra 10 bonus points would be added to the score if the headmaster drank coffee, I found this time that the bonus of 10 points also applies if the headmaster takes a dip in the hot tub!

******************

Due to hectic work schedules, the family was forced to hire nanny Theresa Flieg. Everyone was pleasantly surprised when she actually did a remarkable job.

Paige brought home a big bonus of 75,000 Simoleans thanks to a favorable chance card!

Trey brought home Charlie Lostaway from my lost challenge and decided to have an outing with him, hoping to learn a thing or two from him.

Trey did not get any skills or a promotion out of Charlie, but he did end up surprising the family with a phenomenal flat screen tv.

********************

To close the update, taking a page from my dear friend Ruby (player/author of Cedar Park), a funny pic (or so I thought) for you...

Yes Iris, I got it, you clogged the toilet!

Accomplishments this round: Trey and Paige have the house remodled, Mushi comes home, Adam and Iris are children, Adam and Iris accepted to private school, Paige gets big bonus

Round 13: Hart Family

Last week in the Hart household Betsy gave birth to natural twin boys Dante and Randal who grew into toddlers and then to children, Betsy and Matthew were busy parents both holding their own jobs, running the flower shop, tending to the garden, and raising the boys.

***********************

Dante and Randal are twins, and possibly the closest to identical I have ever had. I thought I would add a shot of each of them as children to compare them...

Randal

Dante

Actually they are quite similar with face shape and facial features. Dante has his moms skin tone and eyes, and Randal has his dad's skin tone and his grandpa Daryl Jayapalan's brown eyes.

*************************

Now that they are old enough, the families first order of business for the week is to get Dante and Randal into private school, so Betsy invites headmaster BJ Bruening for a visit.

Headmaster Visit

Food 30, Tour 40, Schmooze 25, Total: 95

After a great visit the boys are accepted.

And happen to be oh so cute in their uniforms.

*******************
Betsy and Matthew are still very hard working sims.

So, when Matthew was fired from his career in Law (due to a bad chance card), he promptly got a job in the journalism field.

And while he was in between jobs...

...he managed to get his gold badge in gardening, and is considering adding a fruits and veggies section to the flower shop.

When Betsy wasn't charming the simoleans out of her customers pockets in the flower shop, she was hard at work in her new career as an adventurer.

She actually recieved several promotions throughout the week and is currently a Warhead Disarmer (middle picture).

Round 13: Terrano Family

Last week in the Terrano household, Talia became a child, Toby is a werewolf, Lola and Milo become teens, all three kids got accepted into private school, and the sentry bot went wacko.

A little remodeling was done on the exterior of the home this round, so here is a quick front and back shot of the finished product.

**************************

Our week starts with Minni the miserable annoying Mr. Stinky skunk...

And getting what was coming to her. I could have understood if Minni would have learned her lesson, instead she was sprayed several more times throughout the week...

Stella sure tried to stay on top of disciplining Minni, but some things are just beyond her control.

*********************

On a less icky note, it is time for a birthday for the baby in the family...

Talia Terrano

Family - LTW - TOC Education

Saggitarius - 2 sloppy, 1 shy, 9 active, 10 playful, 10 nice

Happy Birthday Talia! You sure are a cutie, but...ack! What are you wearing??? Off to the shops with you asap!

Lola made sure to get a cute new outfit for her fashion challenged sister. But you may notice that Talia's initial childhood hair do is back by popular demand.

*******************

Milo brings home teen TOC in the adventuring career track.

He is a quiet and reserved young man with little interest in girls or social events. But he can kick your butt at SSX 3 any day!

*************************

Toby is still a were wolf.

Each night once the sun goes down he stops what he is doing to take on his lychen form.

What does he do while all werewolfed up?

He dances...alot! He also eats alot, but itwasn't as funny as the dancing.

**********************

Lola got her first kiss with a teenage boy who really seems to get around, David Ottomas.

Talia got a job in education, and came home with a quick promotion only to be demoted the next day.
