Mother-son workouts. Me: "You can do it, Claus!"
This painting I did looks suspiciously like Granite Falls...
Declan and Aiden doing their homework standing facing each other in the playroom.
Louis cheers on Otis as he practises his jokes.
Finley and Claus play chess! Each of the younger boys was unintentionally paired with a older boy for their weekend activities. Poor Holly, my only girl at home, wasn't paired with anyone.
Aiden thought it was hilarious when Otis made his homework talk.
Handsome boy.
Claus off to his first day of work as a scientist!
We received word that Baby 42, Beckett, had passed away and were all extremely saddened.
Cooking up a storm for Harvestfest!
Esme, Elliot, Darby, Declan, me and Claus gathering around to sing (I think Otis might be hiding behind his twin).
Don't be alarmed, it's perfectly normal for us to have a living scarecrow join us at the table.
Secret handshake between Darby and Zoe.
Looks like it's birthday time! Go Declan!
Go Otis!
Tierra (Finn's daughter) became an elder at the same time.
Oh, it's Aiden's birthday too!
Baby 48, Declan Hamish, as a Young Adult. He gained the Good, Emotional Control and Responsible traits. He's only the second of my children to have the Emotional Control trait (after Cameron).
Baby 49, Otis Bear, as a Young Adult. He gained the Romantic, Mediator, Good Manners and Responsible traits.
And Baby 50, Aiden Beau, as a teen. He gained the Bro trait and his new aspiration is Computer Whiz.
Well, you have seen our kitchen and dining room a lot over these posts, but not properly. (Yes there are ceiling lights they just don't show up in these screenshots!)
I absolutely love it but I think it's time for a change - stay tuned!
We took a family trip to the park in Windenburg. There, I bumped into my granddaughter Greta (Esme's daughter).
Romantic Otis was charming the ladies.
The outing was mainly for Holly's benefit, as her aspiration requires her to play on the jungle gym.
Windenburg in autumn is quite pretty.
Spotted Elliot being pensive!
Playing a sea monster!
Otis chatting up a different lady. Her name is Tiffany Halls.
Zoe came over and she was now an elder! She is my oldest baby now that Beckett has passed.
Does this fella that I just beguiled look familiar? It's Easton Crawford, the guy who was fishing in Granite Falls!
Uh oh, what's going on here?!
It's okay, we were only play fighting!
Then we took a selfie!
Well, things look like they are going well for Otis and the lady from the park,
Now who could possibly be in the woohoo bush?
Not Darby and Skye!? Finally!
Woohoo bush = pregnancy apparently.
Darbs was so happy!
Of course the first thing he did was call his mama to spread the good news. I was happy to have another grandchild on the way!
And then it was time for Claus to move out.
Of course with a spot now available in the house, I invited Easton over...
Just a casual shot of Holly maxing out her Motor skill and completing her aspiration! Only a few of my kids have completed their childhood aspiration/maxed a skill so this is big!
Guess who's pregnant for the 41st time!
The whole family came over for Winterfest and Esme rocked up in this... festive!
Father Winter came sidling down the chimney that night, but he's just Herbert to us. He is not only Father Winter but general Father to three of the kiddos in this household!
Holly: "Do I get special treatment or am I just a regular kid tonight?"
Poor Elliot became an elder as we were opening presents.
Zoe always sleeps in her old bed whenever she stays over.
Louis and Holly helping each other with their school projects.
Love It!
