Week 8
Day 1
Father can have love or whatever it is...but she's not moving in. Unless she pays to have a room built for herself.
We're invited to a party by Johnny Johnson and Chuck Hobble, we take the entire family with us. Ben and I enjoy a dance together, we haven't had much time as a couple due to farming, raising our twins and an alien belly button baby.
Father catches O whatever her name is dancing with Chuck. Hmm....
FREE FOOD!! I LOVE FREE FOOD!!
Can you tell I love free food???
Father makes up with O. Good for them, I suppose. Maybe I guess tell her we aren't rich??
I get a message that some produce has sold. Bank $14,472.
I teach Hilda how to talk. I'm set on her learning all her toddler skills, she may not have been planned. AT ALL, but she's still my little sis and I gotta look out for her.
I'm so thankful for Ben's help. There is no way I could handle 3 kids, Father and the farm by myself. I love my hubby.
Ben even potty trains Hilda for me. I finally do feel lucky married to Ben with our kids.
I give Ben a little mid-evening reward...if you know what I mean.
I also get another message that some produce has sold. Bank $14,480.
Then a mysterious thing happens, no not another alien abduction. I swear I'm getting a shot gun if I see another alien ship. JUST NO. $1,200 magically appears into our account just before midnight. I have no idea where that came from (I'm serious, I really don't know O_O. Is it some kind of snowflake day thing?) but hello, free! Bank $15,680.
Day 2
I start my day, admittedly somewhat late, tending my planters..next to a stinky potty chair. Ooh la la la.
I make some lunch since we're out of meals once again. I can't blame it on the ghosts either, they only eat our food every once in a while. Since Father had Hilda, he eats a lot, yet stays really thin somehow. I don't know if it's some kind of side effect from the whole alien pregnancy thing? But how can I ask a Doctor about this without them locking me up in the mental ward?
Ben teaches Hilda to walk as I continue making dinner. And tomorrow is Spring! I CAN'T WAIT! I'll be able to plant things outside again!
I pay the bills $292. Bank $15,383. No messages of produce being sold, I think the stores have ran out of our things to sell. We'll need to take some more in soon.
Deanie brings me a turtle. I sell it for $25. Bank $15,418.
Day 3
SPRING!
This is how Father celebrates. I guess...no, he had another of his fainting spells after I gave him different clothes to wear. Maybe the excitement was too much for him?
Today is also Winter and Autumn's Birthday! My little girls are going to be children! It's nuts to think about.
I buy them two Birthday cakes, costing $60 total. Bank $15,343.
Winter is up first.
Derp face! (Winter ages with the trait Family Oriented)
Then Autumn's turn while Father already digs into the Birthday cake.
More derp! (Autumn ages with the trait Animal Lover)
We have cake and Winter does the dishes. Without me asking...I turn around to have a moment to myself to cry.
And now I realize that we need to remodel. I need a place for the twins to sleep. So...
We put them in the room that was Father's in the basement. But don't worry, we just moved Father into the next room.
Ben also hung up a few more of our Wedding gifts to decorate the basement.
But, I didn't stop there..I go a bit crazy.
I buy new wallpaper for the hallway upstairs and a mirror to hang above the dresser.
I also buy new wallpaper for the laundry room and the main room of the house. And buy new wallpaper for mine and Ben's bedroom. I sell one crib since Hilda doesn't need three of them, but keep one because Ben and I want to have another baby soon.
All this brings the bank down to $10,837. Shortly after this Deanie brings me a some bugs, including another Plasma bug. Total the Science Center gives me $5,333 for my donations. Bank $16,170.
While I'm out, I stop by the store down the road. I consign 8 eggs and 7 pieces of produce.
I end the day eating a piece of birthday cake, yum chocolate! And then go to bed.
Day 4
Winter starts her day by being woke up by one of the ghosts. Autumn somehow sleeps through it. Father of course has a fainting spell.
Ben starts his day by picking wildflowers in his jammie's. I'm not complaining.
I guess ghosts have a sweet toe too. Who knew??
It's Autumn and Winter's first day of school. Autumn seems excited and runs to the bus but Winter has my attitude and slowly walks to the bus. I hope they both make some good friends at school.
Ben throws on some clothes, boo! and picks some more wildflowers. We will be keeping the blue ones for decoration though (they are off the home lot).
I take the truck and drive around town, collecting seeds. I'm having a Greenhouse built and I need more things to plant.
I find another magical mushroom and attempt to sniff it. Not really. But I do wonder why it glows out it's butt. Weirddddddd.
Having the greenhouse built plus buying 8 planters for it brings the bank down to $10,167.
I plant some of my new seeds in the greenhouse and also out in the yard.
The girls brought a friend home with them. The kid I talked to at the party actually. I just can't remember his name right now. Opps. But I'm glad they're making friends.
I get a message that some produce has sold. Deanie also brings me a turtle that I sell. Bank $10,798.
I fix Spaghetti for dinner. It's a quiet night for the Harris clan and we all go to bed at a decent time.
Day 5
Yep. Good thing I went to bed early.
I change Hilda's diaper and give her a bottle downstairs as the twins take off for school.
Ben does the dishes. Shirtless. Just the way I like it.
I even sit down to eat cold spaghetti with Father. It reminds me of the old days. I'm glad so much has changed.
Since there's a lot of plants now, Ben helps me tend them.
I get a message that some produce has sold. Bank $10,872.
Winter and Autumn do their homework together after school, while Hilda beats up a toy car beside them.
And since they're busy, I make some quick veggie rolls for dinner.
Ben sells the yellow flower he picked for $14. Ral has been doing some hunting herself lately, she brings me a blue topaz that I sell for $15, a Geode I sell for $54 and a Carbon Steel. That one shocks me when I sell it for $209. Bank $11,164.
Awww, Winter volunteers to give Hilda her bottle. So cute! And helpful too.
Then she goes downstairs to play dolls with Autumn. My girls are adorable.
Ral celebrates her birthday with me and Ben. She is now an elder doggie. This makes me a bit sad, but it can't be stopped.
Ben pays the bills for $376. Bank $10,788.
I think Hilda has grown attached to me...
Day 6
Ben gets up early and unclogs out toilet. He's really handy, so I'm more than glad to let him handle the repairs around the farm.
I take an early morning nap after taking care of Hilda and doing some chores. Hilda had me up at 4 am.
Father has breakfast with the twins. They seem to like him pretty good and that's a good thing.
Autumn washes some dishes for us.
Ben waters all the plants on the farm. I'll handle the weeding and harvesting.
Autumn cleans the loo, without me asking her to.
Winter takes out the trash while Autumn cleans the sink. All without me asking them to. I'm feeling a bit spoiled.
I pass out in Father's rocker after tending the garden. Opps.
I make sure to thank both twins when I wake up for their help. They really did help out their Mama today.
Ben tells me some produce sold. Bank $10,831.
I make us all some Mac N Cheese for dinner. We eat together, well as together as we can get with 4 chairs and a love seat. I see the pet food needs filled. That costs $100. Bank $10,731.
Day 7
Ben handles the chickens and waters the plants for me but I weed them and harvest them. The weird voice booms at me, almost making me pee myself, telling me my gardening level is up to 8 now.
One of the girls, not sure which, pranks Father by putting a whoopee cushion in the love seat. I laugh at this but Father doesn't find it funny.
I probably should scold them, but when I see this my heart melts and I don't. That is just too cute for words.
It's Hilda's birthday today! I buy her a cake for $30 (Bank $10,705).
This weird creature appeared in our house while we were celebrating and I don't mean Father....
No more diapers! No more morning feedings! At least for now... (Hilda now has the Eco-Friendly trait)
We celebrate with chocolate cake and Hilda tells Father off about something. I like her.
We all go fishing together. A good family activity that also earns money. Can't beat that. The weirdo voice tells me my fishing level is now up to 3. I don't almost wet myself this time.
We stay until dark then drop the kids off at home.
We got to the store down the road where Father does fancy cane tricks like "Did I just glue this to my hand?". He also consigns 5 fish.
Ben consigns 29 eggs and 2 fish.
I consign 4 fish and 13 pieces of produce.
We buy Hilda a bed, exactly like Winter and Autumn's beds, for $650. Bank $10,055. She'll have to sleep in the room with Father, since I couldn't really find a good place to put her bed in the twins' room.
