See? See? I remembered you guys!!!!

Aren’t you proud of me??

Time to jump back into the story... I forgot that Hayden and the twins were growing up too

So here is Hayden about to grow up, so no one notices that I messed up, right? :D

Here is Hayden all grown up.

*Sniffle*

He was from me getting bored...

*Sniffle* Anyone got a tissue?

Oh he grew up as a romance Sim... Not as bad as it could be...

And now the Twins!

I missed a pict of Gallagher as a toddler... Oh well he’s just punching Sedar through the stomach.

Oh wow. Shocker. Grew up badly.

Oh and see? Mitch is fine!! When I loaded in his face went back to normal.

Darn.

And now Georgia’s turn!

She’s cute! And you can’t tell in this pict but she grew up with make-up on... It’s odd.

Uhh... Lucy? Just so you know it’s easier to reach in FRONT of your face to put your hand over your face, not THROUGH your head.

Lucy: “Are you laughing at me??”

Nooo... Never... And I thought I’d gotten rid of Cherry. But Nooooooo I get Lucy to pick up the pace.

Wow... Georgia... What did you do??

Yes delete the cribs!! NO MORE TODDLERS!!!

Yeah look! Georgia has blush and eye shadow and lipstick... So strange... I can’t imagine her having this as a toddler but I didn’t really look...

There that just makes me feel better about the girl...

Wait... you went to school didn’t you?? I just sent you all to school!!

Oh.

Never mind then.

Yippy!!! Only five can’t come off the bus instead of the... I dunno HOW many...

I don’t want to know either.

Ahh Grandma’s Comfort Soup! A life saver when we have so much dang sickness running rampant...

Just don’t stand in it Andrea, please?

See? This is why I love it...

Well... That’s... Odd...

Honestly thought this whole challenge is getting so... Boring...

We have eight days until the next batch grows up into adults and we still have kids (Yes I know that’s my own doing but....)

So I find ways to amuse myself while I leave Sims on speed three...

What you ask? Oh... Nothing really... Watch some soap operas. Did you know she is actually an EVIL twin? I know. But she's pregnant with her sister's husband because she tricked him...

What's worse is I do watch soap operas... Well one... And I can see this story line happening. Yeah I need a life.

Wondering if the light in the refrigerator really does go off...

Such fascinating things, I know.

I mean I can hardly tear my eyes away from the screen... It’s so... *Yawn* Fascinating... zzzZZZzzz.... boolProp... No more... Teenagers.... ZZZzzzZZZ... Z-Huh? Me? Sleeping? No! Never! And thinking about boolProp?? Where would you GET idea’s like that?

My life is filled with things like this... Sims that can’t take off FIVE SECONDS SOONER to actually GET to the bathroom and not pee on the floor in FRONT of the bathroom. *Sigh*

Ginge!!! You had such promise...

That’s right clean it up right now missy!

Am I the only one who doesn’t like this? Isn’t a professional supposed to do that??

Yes... I broke down and bought them... Sent like EVERYONE into platinum... That was how wanted these things were...

This is now how my nights progress... Pitty my ear drums.

Of course most of my problem is that I can really only run on one speed or two... How much trouble can... A lot of Sims get into?

Maybe I should just leave them to their own devices and just giggle and take pictures....

The next addition... Raylinn needed points and I might as well get the points...

Though according to the thing the next batch of teens grows up tomorrow!!! (Yes I miscounted earlier. Leave me alone.)

So maybe things’ll run faster after that *Fingers crossed*

See? That table came into good use!!

Only three more hours... Three more hours...

YES!! Alright time for the adult-mafire to come again!! We’re gonna do things a LITTLE different this time...

Say goodbye to Angie

Bye.

Sedar

Lucy

Darren Oh wait what’s that? Ignore the grown up adult there... That’s not a redone Angie that I did before taking this picture... Nooo....

And err... Sophie.... Yeah... Nope still not a redone Angie.

NOW we see a grown up redone Angie after stepping out of the adultmafire! And as you can see that WASN'T the person we saw in those other pictures. Note the differances..... Errr....

A grown up Sedar!

Jack is back there grown up... Once again ignore Lucy... Okay so the going into the Adultmafire and coming out adult is kinda not working lol!!!

Darren... Yup that’s how he grew up... I just... Couldn’t change it... It’s to... Darren.

Sophie after going up I really like her... She’s really pretty...

And Lucy!! She grew up really pretty too...

And then they all moved out and I didn’t feel like taking pictures of them lol!!
That brings us to a conclusion... I can’t deal with the insanity any more lol! I’m very... Spaztic. I don’t finish things. The ONLY reason I’m finishing this is you readers...

Dead serious.

I’m one of those... Ooh SHINY ones... Ask Jenni!!

Oh points. I forgot.

Beginning Total: I had 155 but that was NOT right. OH! It was 1,550!!! Gotcha!

Orphanage Challenge Post Seven

2009-03-27T12:27:00.000-07:00

Hey guys... Long time no update eh?

Sorry it took me so long, but we had to move, so today is the first day I’ve gotten to PLAY sims since my last update!

I know I’m going through withdrawals.

So just as a quick refresher, I just added the Newman family to my orphanage, so I have a grand total of... To many sims.

And Darren burned the maaaagic hat. Remember? No?

Well at least he does.

Welcome to the family Newmans!!

This time on “Things you will ONLY see in Phoenix’s orphanage” we bring you this terrifying image! That is of Mitch in a fight while having the BEST FRIEND doo-dad over his head!!

Any comments on this Phoenix?

Phoenix: “......................”

We believe that to be a great comment.

We now return you to your normally scheduled update.

Why did I want more kids in THIS madness?

Cherry does this all the time now... I really worry about this girl and how she’s gonna grow up... And what she’s gonna grow up to be...

That is the single most difficult thing about this challenge!! The toddlers whine and TWENTY teenagers come running!

No exaggeration. I have twenty teens.

Come soon birthdays...

Darren? Honey, what’re you doing?

Darren: “Digging!! I must find maaaaagic hat!!”

Oh dear... Losing the hat has gone to Darren’s head...

Two fights at once... Geez. This orphanage needs to be changed to an ASYLUM!!!

Darren?

Darren: “Magic hat, magic hat, magic hat, magic hat.”

Oh boy...

May I note here he did this on his own? I admit I sent him to dig ONE hole for the picture above but this? No he did this. Jenni says my Sims do some WAY strange things... I must concur... I have no clue WHY these things happen to me... Maybe Wen and I just need to start a club...

Yes Raylinn!! Escape while you can!!!

Psst... Hey... Creepily happy bus driver lady... I’ll pay you anything to forget to drop them off tonight.

Driver: “You already tried this once, no.”

*Sigh* Thanks, SO much.

Driver: “And have a wonderful day!”

*Shutter* To happy...

And look Darren! Now Andrea has to go fill in the holes. While poor Georgia comes crawling over for attention.

Oh brother... This always happens... We must ALL help the toddlers!

Darren what did you to do him?

Darren: “You have a maaaagic hat!! I need it!!”

Oh no...

Hat guy: “Lemme think about it... No. It’s not magic!! I already told you this three times it’s not magic!! Leave me alone creepy kid!!”

Darren: “NOT maaaagic?? But... But it's bright! And colorful!! IT MUST BE MAGIC!”

Hat guy: “NO! Leave me alone kid!!”

Sorry for him... He has issues...

Just walk away sir, I’ll deal with him.

I knew this was gonna happen... I’m like, four beds short... So I knew someone was gonna go down... Oh well I earned allllll those points from the Newmans...

But I loose SIX tomorrow! *Dances*

Ahh... Ginger... WELCOME TO THE FAMILY!!!

Yes I have so many teens they all can’t walk off the bus... The bus driver kicks them out at the curb...

But at least today the homework insanity won’t be AS bad... Those who are growing up tonight into adults don’t have to do their homework! :D

So much better...

Meet the magic adult-mafire! Yes I kinda made it look like a hat on top. I couldn’t resist.

Walk way Lucy! Don’t combat Mitch!!

You too Roberto!!

I swear it’s a full time job keeping people away from Mitch!!

I give up.

Wait... Garrett and Georgie and Hayden too?? Oh boy... THIS is gonna be one CRAZY day......

Hang on again... Cherry only has two days?

She was my first spawned teen!! There is no way...

Oh well... boolProp is friend!!

There. Much better!

Here is the last time you will see them as teens...

And the only way I can get this to look right and so you can laugh along with me, is a vid.

Enjoy... Sorry for the vid quality, I forgot to turn it up oops!

*Giggling*

And now it’s time to use the adult-mafire!!

Well as soon as they stop going mental...

"No college... Ble... Ble... Ble..."

Maybe I should have made the vid of the synched insanity haha!!!

One by one they step into the Adult-mafire!!

And when they emerge... They look spiffy!! See Merlin looks nice now!

Next to emerge is Cherry and I had the bright idea of making it bright in buy mode so you can see better!

Roberto emerges like a.... Hippo for air?

Uma emerges looking really nice, actually.

Trent emerges like....... Never mind.

And finally, my personal favorite... Nikki... Well her or Uma I dunno which...

Now its time to move out!!

Can ya tell?

Better watch it Mitch, your face might stick like that!

Cherry is the first one to leave in the taxi!

Cherry: “This won’t be the last you see of me!! Haha!!”

...Okay... Cherry has issues... Still

Next is Roberto.

Uhh... Mitch? Uh-oh... I was joking Mitch...

Bye Nikki!!!

See ya in the Sim Bin Merlin!

Oh dear... I ran to find Mitch and... Looks like his face IS stuck that way... haha

Arr-areva... Bye Trent!!

And finally Uma is off!

And with this great picture I leave you! I need a break from this inanity! Lol!!

Orphanage Challenge Post Six

2009-03-01T15:23:00.000-08:00

Welcome back!

This was my welcome back gift. *Sigh* I’ve lost count.

Oh boy Cherry lost she won’t get over THAT one easy...

Told ya so.

Two fights at once?!?!

Oh... No... Just one and Sophie stealing the paper.

And guess what.

Yup. This came from me trying to FIX their relationship.

So much for that eh?

I give up. Let them all fight. Let them ALL STINKIN HATE EACH OTHER! GAH!

Ahh the line starts. Huge line...

Wow.....

Thank goodness!!! I need the money!!

No. Way. Never. Gonna. Happen. Michael! Well it might. We have a phone. And you just HAD to bring HER home didn’t you?

Thanks Lucy. I didn’t need those points anyway did I??

Though Darren is getting quite good at the piano, the others enjoy giving him every last penny we have in his tip jar. At least we get it back.

Ahh... Conflicts. Get used to it Trent.

I might make you a grilled cheese sim here soon if you don’t stop hart farting over every other girl IN THE HOUSE!

Or maybe I’ll just stick Cherry on you haha.

Trent: “Not Cherry!!!”

Then shape up!

Told you the piano was a good idea!!!

Hey *Cough* Nikki. Whatcha *Cough* doing?

Nikki: “Doing the homework *Cough* YOU made me do!!!”

Oh... Sorry... They’ll stop fighting soon.

Y’know if you two weren’t so dead set on hating each other you’d make a cute couple! I mean look you have the same NOSES!!

Go apologize Grant!

*Sniffle* My little Grant... All grown up... It was just like yesterday that I spawned him as a toddler... I need a tissue.

No... Not you three going to teendom too!! *Bawling* You were my spawned babies!!

I was tired of the before after pict with each sim so I did these three at once... I didn’t expect the hilarious outcome I got.

Please enjoy this picture montage to my extreme laughter.

Synchronized growing up... *Giggling hard*

Okay as for the actual Sims themselves

Michael – Gold – Romance – A+

George – Gold – Pleasure – A+

Chris – Gold – Popularity – A+

So over all HUGE points bonus!

Oh that’s REAL appetizing Andrea. Everyone run and get some soup.

Oddly enough no one else really is eating any of that bowl... Except Darren... Which... Yeah...............

The others are eating the first bowl of food...

Who says I’m not amazing at this game?!?! Grant and Angie don’t hate each other as bad! They can now water balloon fight!! So long as I REEEAAAALLLYYY watch them they stay above the negatives on the top bar....

I don’t get why everyone hates each others guts so bad... I’ve NEVER had this problem before!!

But we’ll make it... Jack is the real problem maker...

He goes wwaaaaaaay down hill with like... Everyone. He’s enemies with FOUR separate Sims. I’m not even worrying about him. He can hate my Sims.

*Sigh* Darren...

Darren: “The Maaaaagic hat went boom!!!”

You put the hat in the stove?!?!

Darren: “My maaaagic hat can’t burn!”

It will if you put it in the stove!!

Darren: “My hat is bright!!”

He seriously burned the hat??

Monday! I don’t know why I’m excited for this... I am probably gonna regret this here very soon. Lol!

Child number one is added Gabriella

Number two; Ginger. Finally you’re really part of the family Ging!

Child number three, Galvin I’m thinking, I spelled that right at least...

Georgia

Garrett

And finally Gallagher, what’s with the G names?

So not that terribly bad, right? Lol!

Well this is where I leave you, I know short update but hey...

*Dancing around singing Keith Urban obnoxiously*

Oh.

*Stops*

Hi.

Err......... *Embarrassed*

Welcome back... I guess you’re here for more of my orphanage challenge....

Heh... Yeah...

Same song who knows how many verse, should get better but it just gets worse.

Rabbits have no tails at all tails at all tails... Oh wrong song...

Hey there Ginger, right? I thought about adding your family to my insanity in the very beginning then I thought the tombstone would be more fun... (Note: this was before my poll)

Which of course it was I wouldn’t have gotten Darren :D

Maybe later I’ll add you...

Now that’s what I like seeing!!

Go Raylinn!! You got your job back finally!!

*Flushes points down toilet*

Oh the other thing flushed down the toilet is that whole ‘teach all the kids to do homework’ HA!!

Now they just do the best they can and when they can’t do anymore anyone green finishes off the homework...

The kids keep chanting ‘we need fun. We need fun!’

So I’m GIVING them fun!! Now hopefully this will work! Gah!! Thank goodness Teens can do children’s homework!!

I didn’t know teens could play on this thing too!!!

Cool!!

Studying for the point for work!

Typical clogging of the bus.

It takes almost the full hour just to get everyone on the bus! Not even kidding!!

This one was a bad one though four Sims missed school sending two kids into aspiration failure...

There we go! Now we get another promotion since the bookcase and the marry go round took us down to 48 bucks.

Wait... What was that about 48 bucks?

Well me and my BRILLIANCE on chance cards lost all of it. AND Merlin? Merlin lost sports enthusiasm.

*Sigh*

Note to those trying this in the future... MAKE THE FIRST ROOM BIG!!! If you don’t they’ll cause this problem here. *Sigh*

Oh and who made YOU judge?? Get out of my house.

Now.

And if you're ever an orphan you can't come here. The Newman's can. You can't.

Oh not again!!! Who now??

Tiffany: “How’s that for girl power??”

We won’t mess with you Tiffany I promise.

Grant grows up!! But he’s in the red and I can’t get any of them to get aspiration points...

Yup... Red.... But he’s a knowledge.

And... That hair... I know it has to be downloaded but... Why did I download that?

Next is Mitch who is still upset over getting beat up by Tiffany.

Yet smiling about it... Err... That's the spirit.... Mitch...

Red... *Sigh* Money.

And Andrea is airborne!

Tiffany!!

Adorable!! She’s so cute!

Alright one more birthday... Andrea is teaching Hayden to sing a nursery rhyme so he’s platinum when he grows up!

Errr... Who is who? Well besides Darren... I know Darren... But.... Who is Jack and who is Mitch?

Okay we got the aspiration points! As can be seen by the bright neon plumbob!

Oh my gosh! Hayden is still my favorite... He’s cute!!

Okay you can’t see it too well but it’s the pest pict I could get... That smoke you can kinda see? (It helps if you hold your computer at a 45degree angle and tilt your head in an 90 degree angle the other way) Yeah it’s coming out of Cherry’s head.... I think I’ve had her do too much homework....

Cherry: “It’s your fault!! You send me for all that homework!!”

Okay... Okay sorry Cherry... No need to snap.

Cherry: “You feel that smoke?! It hot?! Yeah!”

Okay Cherry... Calm down Cherry... Breathe Cherry.... I'm sorry about the homework no need to take it out on Angie!

Yup we’re still sick over here. *Sigh*

Jenni I know you say YOU have the flu epidemic of '09 but I beg to differ. I've had it for almost two Sim weeks!!

Oh no...

Darren: “It wasn’t me this time!!”

I can see that...

Mitch?! Roberto?! Geez you guys!!!

Darren: “I can’t watch!! Maaaaic hat fix it!!!”

I doubt it can do that...

I am so glad I don’t loose points for fights....

Enemies... *Sigh*

Wow Roberto... Tell us how you REALLY feel.

We had our first snowfall around here...

What’s going on with Tiffany... Oh no... Maybe Darren’s hat really IS Maaaaaagic....

*Shifty eyes*

We’re sorry we made fun of the hat Darren!!! *Makes sure she is still firmly on the ground*

Cherry: “Yeah that’s right! The steam hurts like that! That hurts doesn’t it??”

I’m not quite sure what’s going on with Cherry any more... Cherry put Trent down! Leave him alone!

Cherry: "You want some of this smoke?!?!"

Not really.

Cherry: "Then go away and leave this."

Okay. *Meep*

Don’t you love things like this? We’re in an orphanage and his relatives are happy... Errr....

Hey Ginger she comes home with my kids constantly... And according to the poll I’m adding you on Monday! YAY!!

Though I doubt you'll be smiling like that for long... Not after you come in here... Especially with Cherry...

I’m sorry you hate the door Jack. But TWO front doors is VERY needed when people like YOU clog the first one with homework!!

Darren... What’re you doing?

Darren: “The maaaaagic hat has cursed Cherry with smoke!”

It was him... Oh dear... It is magic... Or... Maaaaaaagic...

Tiffany down!!

And another fight around here.

Darren: “She insulted the Maaaagic hat!! I cursed her!”

Oi.

How odd... As today is day 13....... They should have like... What? Five? Not seven...

Well... This is... Interesting.... I get to deal with teens longer... Yippie. I’m so excited. Can you feel my excitement?

Wow... What’s wrong with Sophie guys? Everyone is beating the poor girl up!!

Cherry: “Do you think it’s easy to have smoke coming out of your head??”

But Cherry... You don’t have smoke coming out of your head...

Cherry: “Oh!!”

....................................I am now officially scared.

JUST what this house needs... More enemies!!

And with that this is where I leave you. Cuz I have a midterm to take....

Orphanage Challenge Poll!!

2009-02-25T14:27:00.000-08:00

POLL:

Do you think I should add the Newman family to my orphanage? (For those of you who don’t know they’re the six kids that have been recently orphaned that are in the sim bin)

It would add a lot to my family and probably a LOT of fun to lol!!

And their story line kinda fits in that they’d be sent back to an orphanage...
But the decision lies in your hands! You tell me what to do *Hands baton of choice off to readers*

Just post to the comments if you think I should or not... But as Monday is creeping closer in the real game I want to be able to add them on that Monday.

Days... I lost count... So Post Five

Orphanage Challenge Days 8-10

2009-02-22T21:26:00.000-08:00

Velcome.... I’ve been... Expecting you... Mwahahahaha.

Don’t ask I’m in a strange mood playing Mini-Golf with my sister.

We should just get on with the story eh?

First thing I am greeted with is this... Oh goodie.

Luckily resident neat freak Uma quickly cleans it all up before someone dies.

Of course just because there is no wallpaper doesn't mean we don't offer numerous amenities to our kind customers!!

We have the Rock, Paper Scissors championship!

The Bouncing On The Bed championship!

And then... The discussion about how Smart Milk makes people better at sports.......

Now that I have no toddlers it’s not so bad, really, I’m enjoying myself with NO STINKIN toddlers!! I’m debating about adding a Kid on Monday for mungo points.
Depends on how bored Andrea is without anyone around while everyone is at school.

UMA?! It’s YOU?!?! You’re so... Sweet... So... Unsuspecting!!

See? Unsuspecting!!

Yeah that’s my LAST worry right now. Trust me. However lookie!

That is WITHOUT maxmotives!! I’m really getting the hang of this game!! *Dances*
I’m finally getting the hang of this thing!!

*In love with Grandma’s soup*

And now it’s 6PM!! Grow up time!! Angie is first.

Huh... How could I have not noticed that she and Grant are in the same clothes?
To busy I guess lol!

Not bad Angie!! She grew up gold and rolled a knowledge aspiration!

Next on the list is Darren.

Darren: “The maaaaagic hat is lifting me up!!”

Yes Darren that’s it...

Once again gold he rolled pleasure, and you will NOT believe it but he grew up in ANOTHER pink hat!! I about cried from laughing so hard it was amazing.

I’m going to have him wear the hat constantly even for bed just like the old maaaaagic hat so I can tell him apart lol!

Jack is next

Not bad! Although he is also green but he’s a family Sim, which I like a lot.

Oh shoot mail. I just now noticed this... I gotta remember no more Harold incidences.

Lucy.

Green. Romance.

Serdar who was PLATNIM RIGHT before I took this picture... He lost it JUST as he was growing up. I say I get the points. Everyone else can deal.

PLATNIM! Popularity.

Wow no repeats on the rolling of the aspiration? If I get a money on Sophie I just might die.

Sophie who kept walking around and not growing up...

Gold and.... Money...

*Dies*

SOO FLEE??

Notice a problem?

What is causing this HUGE back up you ask?

Oh. Nothing at all.

Monday... I could add another one...

Do I want to do this? I don’t know........

It really depends on how bored Andrea gets...

Or how bored I get lol!

Okay I just need to make a comment on two things.

Thing one.

Thing two.

Wow. That is my comment....

Although Darren’s kinda matches his hat...

Darren: “Maaaaagic hat!”

You haven’t stopped that? You’re a teen now!

Darren: “It’s a maaaagic hat!! That changes shape!! But the kids at school don’t
like it.”

I wonder why...

Darren: “Me too! I told them the maaaagic hat will get them for it! It can make sparkles!!”

Oh dear.

Wow...

Echo... Echo... Echo... Echo...

I’m thinking a Toddler is necessary...

They’re baaaaaaack!!! By the maaaaagic hat haha

HE IS SO CUTE!!!! Meet Hayden everyone!! New favorite you ask?

Why no! I never play favorites!!

Okay yes I do and yes I have a new favorite.

Total favorite... He’s so cute!!

I’ve never gotten any of these for architect....

Ah! Ugh!!!

Crap.

Dude!! I didn’t know they could do this!! He’s ‘playing’ with it!!

This is amazing.

Meet my newest idea! Sims find these things so irresistible! They won’t be able to stop playing!!

Point made.

They’re still getting Teens off the bus and Darren is playing!!

AHH!!! Radioactive baby!!! Call an ambulance!!

I tried that clicking it off when she yawned thing... Didn’t work...

Maybe it's cuz I have everything up to Apartment Life

Serdar is teaching Hayden to walk!!

C’mon Hayden!!

Uhh... What did Andrea do???

YES! JUST as the bus was getting ready to leave he ran for it *Happy dances*

Andrea then taught Hayden to potty!! YAY!!! All three done!!!

2009-02-18T13:50:00.000-08:00

Ahh... Nothing like a ‘Welcome-back-to-the-game’ prize!

Ugh.

In a rare green moment Andrea tries to teach... George? To walk. But it takes forever. I WANT SMART MILK!

Uma tries to teach Michael to potty train... Once again. I WANT SMART MILK!! But no one has any aspiration points...

YES! Thank you!!! I don’t remember your name but THANK YOU!!!! *Dancing around*

*Light from above*

Ahhhhhhh!!!

*Cheering*

Raylinn got promoted!! And EVERYONE in the house has an A+ card!!

The only reason everyone has an A+ card is.... I admit...

I maxmotived.

I know, I know!! But I had to!! EVERYONE was dying!! Literally EVERYONE!!!

So... Lets move on... Before people start yelling... Like to that dust ball...

Dogs fighting on my lot?

GRANT? Grant who are you fighting??

DARREN! Darren quit attacking Grant!!!

Darren stop!!

Darren: “HE INSULTED THE MAAAAAAAGIC HAT!!”

Oh brother.

Darren: “There! I dare you to insult the maaaagic hat again!!”

*Won't comment*

So long

Farewell

Auf wiedersehen

Goodbye!!!

Cherry is our only gold Sim so she has been put in charge of giving all the babies smart milk!!

Uh-oh... We’re loosing Raylinn...

While Raylinn looses it we get lots and lots of training going with Smart Milk!!

But as a bonus Chris can walk!

George can talk!

And walk

Micheal can walk!!

Yes I went for it. I think Trent and Nikki are ADORABLE together!!

This is an ongoing problem in our house. I fix it. They knock it over. Because “my aspiration isn’t high enough!!”

Andrea has decided to join the insanity group.

With some extra money WE GOT A FLOOR! YES!!!

Hey Andrea... Nice PJ’s... (Shameless plug) I made them!! *Dances* And they look just like the ones I’m wearing right now :D

I made some rearrangements to get rid of the extra cribs and get three beds in here so now everyone has a bed. Small over site I had made before now heh.

Yes!! Six o’clock!

Now it’s time for the last of the toddlers to come to kiddom!

Chris is first

Not bad of course we have the clones and all but hey lol!

And as you can see the green that means he grew up gold!! Points!!

Next is.... Michael? And he is PLATINUM!!!

And last is George you can’t tell in this one but he grew up PLATINEM TOO!!!!!!

And that brings us to our conclusion

The points stand thus:

Beginning Total: -30

Positives: + 15 Raylinn; Promotion
+ 10 Chris; Golden grow up
+ 20 George; Platinum grow up
+ 20 Michael; Platinum grow up
+ 20 Michael; Walk
+ 20 George; Walk
+ 20 Chris; Walk
+ 20 Michael; Talk
+ 20 George; Talk
+ 20 Chris; Talk

Negatives: None! Yes! Probably because I missed some one fainting.... But I’m not counting it!

Ending Total: 155!

From -30 to 145! That’s a jump!

Days 8-10

Orphanage Challenge Days 1-3

2009-02-15T21:29:00.000-08:00

Hey welcome back!! Today I actually take the game off pause... *Gulp*

Oh and on the phone today Jenni mentioned she’d like to know the aspirations of the teens, and I forgot to check...

Gah!! I always do this!! I MUST remember a roof!! Winter will come and they’ll start going on about “There’s weather in my house...” with that stupid face and with THIS many Sims? Oi.

Okay so I have a checklist...

1. Roof!

[X] CHECK!

2. Name the babies!

[X] Check!

[X] Check!

[X] Check!

Michael, George, and Chris!

3. Get the aspiration of the teenagers.

[X] CHECK!

Trent – Romance
Roberto – Family
Merlin – Knowledge

Cherry – Knowledge
Nikki – Money
Uma - Family

And now I can actually play this little thing called insanity. Heh.

All I really need is a stove... And a TV... And a mirror... And a kids stove... Go get a job NOW Raylinn!!

Instantly there is a clog in the nursery because at once EVERYONE became stinky oh goodie...

I don’t care that the babies are stinking, find a job get some money!

Yes if you’ll notice the chair is gone, but because of loosing the chair we ended up with a stove and a kids stove! Very needed trust me!!

Now when the kids are starving we can send them to make little burnt muffins.

The highest paying job is Architecture career I am very happy about this! I’ve never taken anyone up the Architecture career track this makes me happy! *Does happy dance*

Okay... Shouldn’t have taken that fun dip from my sister *Giggle*

Trent doesn’t like the stove... To bad Trent deal!!

Meanwhile Darren is telling Uma about the hat.

Darren: “Then one day the witch gave me the maaaaagic hat! It’s a maaaaagic hat!”

Uma: “It is? Wow! Really?!”

I can’t tell if she is meaning this for real or not... We need to move on now.

*Bursts into fit of giggles* Since they all popped into place at once they’re all going into bladder failure at once it’s rather amusing to see six sims doing this all over the house

Darren: “And so the maaaaaagic hat went to the moon!!”

Sophie: “Can I buy the hat?”

Darren: “NO!”

This is becoming so that NO one can do ANYTHING with the babies because ALL SIX of the teens hang out in this room CONSTANTLY!

I am || close to locking the door to ONLY letting Andrea through. *Grumbling under breath*

I told Merlin FIVE times to go make food before he died! Did he? NO! He's waving his arms around because of Trent and Roberto playing rock, paper, scissors!!

AHA! I found the problem!!! Instead of having TWO squares to get out there is only one and I can’t make the wall longer... Uhh...

There we go!! We moved the crib and the changing table so now it’s harder to get INTO the nursery but you can get out when Trent and.............. Uhh..... What is your name child?! Roberto!! When Trent and Roberto get into a Rock Paper Scissors match.

Uma! Leave Merlin alone!! Would you believe she has almost FULL nice points?

Oh my gosh!! This is worse than I EVER imagined... GAH! One of the biggest issues is with six teenagers NO ONE will put the toddlers down! I can’t give them food or diaper changes, did I mention this is STILL day one?? C’mon school!!!! Only three more hours I can make it!

Wow... There is a lot wrong with that lol!!

Tell you what I'll pay you five bucks if you never bring any of them back.

"No."

Ten?

"No."

What if you got lost?

"No!"

Just keep them for five minutes!!

"Lady I aine keeping any of these kids longer than I have to!"

Wait... What... NO! Go back to school! Stay at school!!

It can NOT have been that long already... I barely got Mitch food!!! Albeit I had to do a bunch of other stuff but...

Ha ha ha ha just what this house needs.

Meanwhile...

Yeah that’s a little bit more pressing...

Huston. We have homework. And I’m supposed to get this actually DONE??

No. Way.

Five out of six.

Okay if I do one a night then MAYBE I’ll be able to get all the kids to learn their homework...

Okay I’m no expert but wouldn’t this be BAD? Like HURT the kids? Andrea! You’re supposed to be watching these kids not hurting them!! Whoever... That girl is... Lucy?

Am I the only one who finds this ADOREABLE??

Future couple anyone?

What?

I'm a hopeless romantic leave me alone!

Uhh... Raylinn... Something you wanna tell us?

..............................

Awww!! I’ve never had two sims autonomously do this!!

Personally I think they’re adorable together!

Child number two!! Yes it has only been TWO LOUSY DAYS but because I can only really run on speed two I have nothing better to do than to take pictures ha!

Michael grew up into a toddler!!

A really cute toddler at that!!

And here goes Chris!

Once again cute!! Probably cuz they’re spawns of Andrea and Andrea is really cute!
Where is the third one you ask?

Right there.

No one cares about him... I’ve even forgotten his name...

Four hours later Nikki finally grabs him!

Uh-oh... I think I have a new favorite....

He’s adorable!! More so than the other two!!

Yes, yes I know I said that already.

Twice.

But look at him!!

*Twitch*

Darren: And then I wiggle my fingers like this and the maaaaaagic hat makes everything green! And the fairies come out to play and everyone is happy because of the maaaaagic hat!”

Darren why don't you stop entertaining...... Mitch! That's it Stop entertaining Mitch!!

I know what’ you’re thinking. “Wait? Wasn’t there a toilet there?” Answer is yes.
So where did it go?

Of course you might not be thinking about the toilet at all.... You might be thinking about why grass isn't purple. That one I cannot help you with.

But back to the first question where did the toilet go??

Why right here! What? This family needs fun NOW and we have four other toilets!!

Two at once yes!! We will make this!!

Dude!!! There is a hand print there!!! Am I the only one who just NOW figured this out and I’ve been playing since Uni?

Wait... ONE DAY? That means I could get rid of THREE OF MY TODDLERS NOW?!?! GAH!
GROW UP TIME NOW!!!

Mitch is first!

Not to bad.... Mitch! (Hey I’m getting these names down!!)

NO! I’m almost POSITIVE that makes me loose points!! I gotta go look on that one and I’m to tired to go do so right now...

Grant, I believe, is next!

*Grr*

*Grinding teeth*

Tiffany is last! At least she’s green!!

Not bad looking at all! She looks a lot like Andrea... But she isn't one of the spawns... So yeah...

And so I leave you with this image of the three new kids heading for school!

See you next time!!

Oh though I do have a quick question think I should put Nikki and Trent together? I think they’re kinda cute even though Trent IS a romance Sim...

EDIT: Okay this morning when I got up I looked up my points:
Positives: Er.. None.
Negatives: -15 Andrea; Bladder Loss
-15 Sedar; Fainting

Total: -30

Goodie. I did find out kids growing up bad doesn't make you loose points though!!

Days 3-7

Orphanage Challenge Intro

2009-02-12T20:45:00.000-08:00

Hi! Welcome to my blog for The Orphanage Challenge. Yes I do know I’m insane... Jenni has told me numerous times ever since I said I wanted to start this challenge... *Shrug*

This is just something fun for me to do in my spare time and I need a break from my Legacies... I got a little bored of them... Okay really bored of them.

So I’m going to try my hand at this challenge it’s gonna be interesting cuz I’ve never tried a challenge with a lot of kids... I’ve ran a family with nine Sims and four pets before (Yeah my game glitches) and handled that... That in no way qualifies me for this.

Oh just real quick here are the Rules so you know what's going on lol!

I’m screwed.

Royally.

*Sigh*

Maybe I should just get this thing going eh?

Meet Andrea Paris

These are her stats. C’mon if you’ve read my Apocalypse challenge you KNOW I’m lazy. I’m hoping that a family Sim will help with all the kids... I’m also hoping that with turn ons like Vampires and Robots that she won’t fall in love with every Sim she meets because tough luck chickie you aine gonna marry him.

She’s the more outgoing of the two, what two? Why this two.

Andrea’s twin Raylinn. She’s the much, much, more quieter of the two.

See? She’s shy but neat hopefully that will help, I’m hoping for two very good people who are good with kids. Right? Lol!

Goodness knows I need it *Sigh* Why did I wanna do this again?

Well I sure hope you two can handle this... I hope my mental stability can handle this...

Great view from the lot eh?

DUN DUN DUN!!! No no one died don’t worry!!

This is the Tombstone Of Life And Death (But you knew that already didn’t you? I’m just stalling.)

Remember to keep notes there will be a quiz after this.

Spawn baby one!

And two and three!

It was only AFTER baby three I realized they’re clones of who I clicked on the tombstone, so I should have had Raylinn click once but oh well we have three babies that I have to name shortly but before that...

And it wasn't until NOW that I realized that I forgot to rename them all so they're just 'Baby Boy Paris's.... Oops... I'll fix that next time I load in lol!

Toddler time!!

Mitch he’s cute!

Awww, this is Tiffany she’s cute too!! I'm getting good toddlers!

And Grant... Wow... Grant... You can’t see in this picture but he has a very interesting nose lol! I knew you could get interesting Sims off the tombstone but.... The nose is gonna get interesting as you get older.

Dun-duh.... Dun-duh.... Dun-uh, dun-uh, dun-uh, dun-uh, DUN DUUUUUUN!!!

When you least expect it.... They will come for you...... *Jaws music keeps playing*

And next is the kids!!

Jack.

Serdar... Odd Name... I like it.

And Darren... With a pink hat... Security hat. Some kids have a blanket, some a teddy bear, Darren has a hat. We will not laugh at the pink hat.

And now the girls!

Angie, who I think is adorable!!

And may I mention here that as I see more and more Sims join this I’m more and more questioning my sanity..... Why did I do this??? And I still have EIGHT more Sims to add?? Oh yeah. I’m brilliant.

Sophie who I think is ADOREABLE!! So long as I can change her hair and clothes... Which isn’t against the rules!! Just kinda expensive....

And finally Lucy who refused to look at the camera, I guess she’s shy, I haven’t taken the time to look at everyone’s personality, besides you don’t wanna know about ALL these kids personalities right?

At least we’re done with the kids *Sigh of relief*

Teens... Then I’m done.... Then the challenge actually STARTS... Remember what I said in the beginning? I shall repeat that word.

Screwed.

Robberto (He doesn’t look very Mexican does he?)

Merlin! I like that name. Hate that hair.

And Trent, who isn’t bad looking at all!! I’ve heard you can get some really bad looking Sims from the Tombstone but I haven’t gotten anyone TOO bad yet......

And now the girls are....

Cherry, who's name matches her hair.

Nikki.

And... Uma... How would you pronounce that? OO-Ma? That’s what I’m going with... Uma... What an odd name... And not in a cool way odd...

Anyway that completes all of our kids thank GOODNESS!!

Remember all that for the quiz? What you thought I was joking? No way!!

Alright who was first? Don't you scroll up!!

Don't remember?

Me either! Ha!

*Gulp* S-C-R-E-W-E-D.

Here is my basic layout for the orphanage, I figure lay out is EVERYTHING I this challenge...

*Announcer voice* And now through the magic of blogging that you will only see here in Phoenix’s random challenge blog. Well you might see it in other challenges but they’re not as cool as Phoenix’s.

TADA!!!

I feel like I’m drowning in a sea of beds.... There are a LOT of them... But if you’ll see I splurged for the private toilets and private showers. So now there is no ‘shoo’ action going on in the mad rush to get out of the house! Unfortunately this means no stove... Or TV... But I’ve lived without a stove before! No stove is allowed in Apocalypse...

So this, my dear readers, is where I live you. I know. I know. Many unanswered questions.

How will the owners cope?

Will Phoenix end up in an asylum?

What does she mean private showers? I can’t see them in that picture!

Why is purple, purple?

Will Darren ever give up his security hat?

Why is the sky blue?

Will Phoenix resurface in the sea of beds?

Will Jenni EVER get back to poor Hope and Jerome?

Why is silver shiny?

And why AREN’T all Volvo’s silver and shiny?????
