The A-Team Grows Up; The End of a Beginning

With the torch passed to Asparagus, I was curious to see how the rest of the kids would react. Would they?

The very next day, I had my perfect opportunity – Avery was going home with the girl in the background there (hooray for story progression!) so it was only fitting that the other boys not get on the bus.

I am pretty sure that the boys realize what happened…that they weren’t chosen to carry on the Bloom lineage.

Aloysius probably took it the worst and chose to sit on the bench outside of the school looking beyond peeved at his life. Aki took it in stride, making his way over to the park to play some chess. Meanwhile at his new friend’s house, Avery relaxed on a king size bed for hours. It seems as though his days of trying to impress me are so so over.

Something strange happened during the day that day while Parkin was home alone. In Sims 2, I remember neighbors and townies stopping over and ringing the bell so much that it was annoying. It had yet to happen during my Sims 3 gameplay time…BUT THEN Parkin’s old friend Bebe Hart showed up. He didn’t answer the door so I have no idea what she wanted…was she there on police business? or to say she was all grown up now? Weird.

Blair was still being her normal self – interrupting her offspring while they were trying to skill.

At least she’s temporarily moved on from making silly faces.

Awww, Mommy & Daddy Parkin love to hug their little girl.

As many of you probably know, the law enforcement and journalism careers require reports to advance. But then again, maybe not? Blair has surpassed my expectations and been promoted to an undercover something or other even though she’s never written a report. Maybe it just takes longer without it.

Blair: I'm not so sure what I'm undercover as...but I like this dress!

Parkin is still cooking all on his own.

Parkin: Yeah...why wouldn't I cook?

With legacies of any kind, you get lots and lots of birthdays…and I’m not ashamed to say that they’re my favorite part. I love seeing how the genetics mix.

Tonight is a big milestone for one of our simmies, who’s skinny arm and black dress could that be?

All six kiddos turned up to cheer their Mum on into her elder years. She chose a dress that accentuated her boniness and dyed her hair back to a shade of blond while leaving some gray highlights.

After the party, Asparagus went out to the weight machine to see if he could pack some muscle on quick because he had big plans for the next day…someone to impress.

And impress he did!

Bambi agreed to be an exclusive couple – and an adorable one at that!

Today was a day for more birthdays and Parkin decided he wanted to pick up a guitar while he could still learn new tricks.

Parkin: Smoke on the wa-terrr...

Before he turned grey,  he joined his family in the great room for Afton’s 13th birthday party.

Afton kept the same look but begged her parents for some colored contacts. She was getting pretty could at persuading people with her newly acquired ambitious trait.

It turns out that Parkin’s elder birthday wasn’t until the following day, giving him that much more time to enjoy his youth. But when the time came, he didn’t complain.

Aww, his muscle-y physique is no more. Sad. The gray hair didn’t look too fabulous with his blue skin tone so Blair quickly dyed his hair in the kitchen sink.

Then it was time for Avery and Aloysius to grow up, and in proper twinly style they approached their cakes together.

Avery grew up quite handsomely:

He added charismatic to his previous traits (insane, workaholic, genius, artistic) and decided he wanted to be a world renowned surgeon.

My dear Aloysius wasn’t so lucky…

ahaha. I’m not sure what happened there but I fixed it!

There. I think he’s super stinkin cute. He added family oriented to his list of traits (insane, good, hydrophobic, and hopeless romantic) and decided he wants to be surrounded by family. Hopefully the timestream will give him just that.

Yes, I’m feeding them to the timestream but not after one last night in their childhood beds in their childhood home. -tear-

Blair: I'm going to miss you son, you are knowledgable of the fact that you are my favorite child aren't you? Call me!

After securing them each a job, I moved them out into their own houses. One lives next door and the other lives across the street.

And with room in the house (the option didn’t show up when the house was full), Asparagus was finally able to pop the question.

Asparagus: Bambi my sweet, will you knowingly join my insane family?

Bambi: Put it on put in on!! Asparagus: Wait, you do know that we're all insane right? and destined to have insane children of our very own?

More birthdays!

Aki is now an insane genius who is artistic, musically inclined and a loner. He decided that he wanted to be a master of the arts awhile back.

Ari is an insane, excitable party animal who is easily impressed with a new green thumb to match his favorite color. Oh yes, he now wants to be super popular. Strange…he seems so shy -shrug-

While Blair snagged some cake (where does it go?!), Asparagus and Bambi exchanged rings.

And shortly thereafter made their marriage official.

His favorite color is violet and hers is purple so readers beware, a purple house-makeover may soon take place.

Her co-workers at the spa gave her a snazzy makeover as a wedding gift. Welcome Bambi Bloom! She is a brave, good couch potato who hates the outdoors and is sometimes hot-headed. Fun. She wants to be a chess legend but that won’t be happening, sorry dear. She brings 2 logic, 3 fishing, 2 guitar skills and a book titled French Totast, French Fries, and French Kissing to the table.

Bring on the B babies!
