Birthday Time!!!

Ginny kept quiet about the girls being so tardy, because Brosie, before he'd gone to work, had gone to such great lengths to keep the house nice and tidy. She just couldn't bring herself to yell at him. In fact, she felt as though she was slowing down somewhat.

And rightly so, since the very next day it was Susan's birthday!! Ohhh, they grow up so fast.

Scraping their money together, they decided to get a few balloons and decorate the front garden with them. Naturally they got the bog standard birthday cake in preparation. And this time, they organised a party for her.

After all, it's not every day you turn teen now is it?

One of the guests was none other than Shirley Lin - more on her later.

With the fuss and ado, and cheering going on, Susan made a wish and blew out the candles, whilst Violet stood in the background silently wishing it was her birthday.

 

 Patience my dear. Patience!! Your time will come.

The rest of the guests all cheered when Susan transitioned. Even dear Elmer, whom I think would be a perfect match for one of Brosie and Ginny's girls. Dontcha think???

With a zip and a POW! and sparkles galore, Susan leaped into the air and transformed into...

.... well, I can honestly say, there's no mistaking who she belongs to. She's the spitting image of Brosie, in female form!!!

I was saddened to see her lovely curly hair vanish during the transition. But I also realised that those corkscrew curls might not be appropriate for her now that she's a teen. So I decided to opt for a shorter hairstyle instead, that still maintained her curls. Just not those lovely little corkscrew curls that she sported so well.

Sadly, because of difficulties with her education, the game chose Unflirty as one of her traits.
And at the same time, she chose her LTW. She wanted to adopt loads of strays.

I dread to think what her parents will be thinking, when they find the place overrun with unruly animals!!!!

The party went well, with the guests all having some cake, dancing to the music and having a general chit chat. Although I think Ginny's putting on her 'match-making' head here as she's in full swing, chatting about goodness knows what to poor unsuspecting Elmer!!!

 
Then, quietly in the corner, well away from everyone else.... Rags silently celebrated before transitioning himself.

However, as the night drew in, Brosie was getting rather cosy with his co worker Shirley Lin.

I just hope that he knows what he's doing. I'd hate to think that this family would break up because of one stupid mistake.

Especially on his daughter's birthday.

Violet Versus the Babysitter

The rather smart looking car pulls up and my first thoughts were SOCIAL WORKER!!! *blinks* but nope, that's far too early in game. Besides, Helen had already organised a babysitter to keep a close eye on her kid sister.

A timid knock on the door, feet shuffling, a soft cough.

And VOILA!!!!
Ohhhhh, he's a CUTIE!!!! (wonders about pairing him up with one of my Sims in the future)

His name is ....

... please don't laugh, the game picked this, not me .....

Elmer Timmons!!!

Oh that poor unfortunate kid. *coughdurnyouEAcough*

Anyways, he walks in and immediately goes straight for the leftover birthday cake that was sitting on the table out in the garden.

However, it seems that he found himself up against the Sculpture Gnome, who at that particular point in time, decided to park it's stony body, right smack dab in the centre of the garden table. Preventing Elmer from sitting down and enjoying that overly sugary treat!!

In the meantime, Violet was acting like a good little girl. Going for a bath, or rather a 'submarine adventure' and keeping out of the way of Elmer.

But don't be fooled.
She was plotting.
BIG TIME

After furtively glancing around to see where Elmer was, she sneaked up into the treehouse to plot some more.

 
Snickering to herself, she called down to Elmer and lay in wait, bucket of water hidden from view.

However, her plans were thwarted, since Helen arrived just in time from school and paid Elmer for his services before sending him back home.

Foiled again!!!!
