We're not doing too bad. The major thing left is promotions.. which just takes time. .. And then we get back to playing. I will apologize, however, this update is pretty short.. and boring. It was one of those "filler" weeks for my sims, so not much happened.

The little family. All together. Brock has the right idea, though. Naptime!

Bathtime for Breanna

.. Maybe Brock should be up watching Brent while Aiden is otherwise occupied.

Brent is furiously skilling, I'm determined to get him Top Notch Toddler so his skills will be easier next generation. The retail goal is hard enough without making skilling tough, too.

.. So little Brent is making a disaster all over the house. For imagination's sake.

And that last pesky movement skill...

Woohoo! And there's still a whole day to go! Now I can work on little Breanna instead.

Another major milestone. (No.. not the freezer bunny hoarding a cupcake..)

.. Now all we need are more promotions!

.. Nothing interesting happened for a while...

So here's Brent all grown up and working on his homework. I gave him the self-assured trait. Hopefully being confident will help him with sales? I really don't know. But we'll see.

Playing with Aiden. Imagination skills for the win.

More homework. Boy, my sims are being especially boring this week. Brent is working on the social aspiration first.. and he's just running around meeting people.. which isn't especially interesting. On a side note, however, I discovered that somehow I didn't have aging on for unplayed sims in this save file. Weird. But that's why I found all the starting kids still as kids. I switched it on, so I can see some new sims in a while.

Searching for his muse on the stylist board. He had to for work.

Thinking skill. And it's Brock's turn for parenting skills.

Working on the mental aspiration next, since the beginning of it is the hardest part of child aspirations. The social one is my least favorite, but it's easy. It's just annoying.

The annoying reading requirement.. it takes requeueing it so many times...

Breanna looks confused as to what her brother and dad are doing. It's like she's trying to understand the kid's book.

Aiden goes on an upgrading spree for something to do. He's got all his promotions and skills finished, so he's just bored. Or maybe that's me.

Breanna "sneaking" up on Brock, who's browsing the forums in his spare time (on his own initiative.)

She's adorable. I keep wondering if I ought to make her heir.. but the other part of me is stubborn to keep it Brent, since I had already decided.

I just can't stop watching her. Love her so much! Plus, she's more interesting than the rest of the family at the moment.

That moment when someone who doesn't live there anymore shows up uninvited and takes out your trash.. then says she has to go. ... I was so confused.

And this is to commemorate... nothing. It was supposed to be for Brent finishing his first aspiration - the social one - but Olivia left (literally, just disappeared) before I could get her all the way to friend status. Guess I have to wait for next week/update!
