I'm getting even slimmer!
Gardening.
Genevieve and Hazel play a game of chess!
I'm going to give you a tour of our house that I built, since I have never shown it fully and we are building a new homestead (on the same lot though, of course) due to receiving ~new content~ (Parenthood, Bowling Night Stuff and Vintage Glamour Stuff!).
Here is the side view.
And here is the back. It is a little more modern out the back.
Our garden, microscope and basketball court.
The pool.
The outdoor area (and Joey!)
My loft bedroom with ensuite.
The wall with my paintings of all my children.
The entrance/living area.
The dining area (featuring Harlow).
The kitchen.
The living area.
Another angle (that's Lachlan's urn).
My wall with pictures of my kids and grandkids.
The playroom.
The playroom again.
The left bathroom.
The toddler room.
The right bathroom.
The front kids' room.
And the back kids' room (with a napping Ben!).
The lower level layout.
And my loft level (only just noticing the lopsided roof now haha!)
I'm finally roping in the last footballer, Ben Keays. I used the others as fathers already (Tom Cutler, Hugh McCluggage, Dan McStay and Cian Hanley).
Poor Hazel and Harlow aged up into young adults before they could get to their cakes! Hazel took to moping around like this.
Go Harlow! (yes, that is a new kitchen!)
They then both got sent an array of these plates as gifts (mainly from their dead siblings).
We then said goodbye to Georgia...
And Jade.
And pretty much as soon as they moved out, Ben and I got to it!
And then my Ben starting making a mess!
I told him off and made him clean it up.
But moments later, he was doing it again!
This time I yelled at him.
The moment I found out I was pregnant with Baby 29!
I was already feeling sick.
Look at that cute little bump!
Ben came home from school with a rainbow above his head! I don't know what it means...
Um... ew!
Hey, it's my 20th baby, Briar, walking past!
Genevieve increasing her empathy by playing doctor!
Gen and Harlow with a secret handshake.
Then Gen started tooting away!
Harlow: "What was that?"
I had to lecture Genevieve about her farting. She actually has quite bad manners, a flaw I'm on a mission to fix!
Joey chilling on the seat.
Remy came over to tell me a very dramatic story!
And I finally got to painting him. This is his cheeky portrait.
Playing dolls with Gen.
Gen building something.
I was taking my man Joey for a walk when...
He became an elder! Poor darling, we won't have much longer with him.
Here is Baby 25, Hazel Tomasina, as a young adult, finally. Her last trait is Dog Lover and she got a job in social media.
And Baby 26, Harlow Claudia, as a young adult. Her final trait is Good and she got a job as a critic!
Gen and Ben BOTH made messes!
I was getting sick of it so I put them both in time out.
Genevieve was NOT happy.
I then saw this sweet exchange between Hazel and Joey.
Ben then cleaned up without being asked.
Nevertheless, Hazel was sick of it! She started shouting some swear words.
Sweet Joey!
Benjamin woke up in a foul mood.
He started swearing whilst Genevieve looked on amusedly.
Me: "Harlow, I've gone into labour!"
Harlow: "Oh no, Mum, I'm heading to work! You'll be alone!"
And I was alone (save for the maid) as I gave birth in the new kitchen.
And then out popped my 29th baby, and my 18th daughter!
She is Violet Keenan Westbrook.
I also received word that my 15th baby, Max Gunner, had passed away of old age. His eulogy will be next.
