And now we're ready to get back in game!
And here we are. Feeding the toddlers. And ourself, apparently.
Ashley playing with one toddler while the other one screams about being dirty.. and Alan is busy cleaning up dishes.
One clean toddler coming up!
Aww. Brittney playing with Calico.
... Apparently she got bored.
They love gathering here.
Or here. If I can't find anyone, I look one of those two places and I'll find the sim I'm missing.
Becca chatting with Calico while parents take a nap.
... I just cleaned in there!!
At least someone still plays the guitar.
Oh, thanks, Alan. I pushed him too hard. And it wasn't until he passed out that I remembered it would lose me points.
Well, at least she's using the right card for the locale?
Funny place to do homework, but Alan helps nonetheless.
Stinky toddler dancing. It's the newest thing!
Branden's hot-headed trait raises it's head, and he ends up beating up poor Calico.
It's Alan's adult birthday. Time just flies in this challenge.
Absolutely adorable toddler socializing. The two of them sat there until both were in the red with hunger, and I had to interrupt them to make them go eat.
Branden meets mom when she gets home from work.
The monkey bars actually gets some use for a change.
Becca... what are you doing?
It's Winterfest, and I get everyone involved decorating. Except the toddlers, of course.
Working on some Mental skill for schoolwork.
Becca's having a great time, but I'm not sure Alan looks like he's having just as much fun here.
Father Winter shows up.. and gives us an expensive stove. And that's a playful alien ... still not sure how the kinds didn't turn out to be funny colors, but it worked out.
Branden gets a surprise hug from Becca.
Hey Dominic.. that's there for the toddlers! Bad ghost.
Happy Birthday for the toddlers...
Great. Another hot-head in the house.
Next.... (Alan looks like he's enjoying life a little better with the last toddler aging up.)
Becca gets Geek. Yay! We didn't get all three hot-heads, which I was starting to worry about.
Here's their room makeover. I have to say, it's kind of nice not to have to build a lot in this particular challenge. I've been building so much that it's nice to have a change.
Now that the toddlers are all grown up, Alan gets back to work. This is another house call.
And 2 of three surgeries he needs for his promotion.
Homework party. And Ashley found the lump of clay that they got for Winterfest.
Maeve haunts for a change. and breaks most of our plumbing.
The last night, New Year's Eve, and Alan wishes for a promotion. Which is definitely going to happen the next week. He's got the checkmark, just needs that last surgery.
Brittney playing in the rain...
.. then helping out by mopping. I guess I never noticed how big the mop is compared to the kids. It's kinda funny.
Family time.
Brittney's been working so hard she forgot to take a shower.
Everyone watching New Year's TV except Brittney.. who finally found a shower.
But at the end.. nobody's watching. Too funny.
Dominic helps out by cleaning that mess outside.
Someone ends this episode with a bear costume. I don't remember who, and it's impossible to tell. See you next time!
Our points. Lost five for Alan's faceplant, but we're still doing okay.

Hey 1 faceplant ain't bad! Great job with the toddlers and kiddos. You seem to have much better luck keeping food available for them that isn't spoiled, and getting everyone to bed. I had a heck of a time with that from time to time.
The key is to leave the food in the fridge until they're hungry and feed them all at the same time. Otherwise you end up with toddlers eating spoiled food, which is just nasty.
Oh yeah, my solution was popcorn. Saved them behinds multiple times. 🙂
I always forget the popcorn maker...
Wow, so impressed that you ended up with no aliens! Maybe it was that she's always in her disguise? I think that's how Teresa ended up getting a human child for... whatever challenge required a human child from an alien.
Yeah, I'm not sure why at least one of them wasn't an alien. I expected it, for sure. Although they can all still do the secret handshake.
