Me: “Why don’t you take the kids out after they get up?  I can meet you by the tables over there when I get back.” 

Justin: “Mmhm. Nomnomnom.” 

image

Ben: “YES!  Can I build a treehouse!?” 

Justin: “Don’t get ahead of yourself buddy. We’re just looking around.  No wandering off!” 

Ben: –heavy sigh–

Eva (blonde): –very amused– 

image

Maggie (brunette): –less amused–

[This is one hundred percent true. -__- ]

And there’s my husband in the back ground on his phone, as usual. 😉  Possibly showing Paulo back there something on ifunny… 

[Oooh, potential mates for SiL-Sam…]

[And a clear favorite remains behind to make bad penguin jokes!]

I liked this kid before, but with Lumia’s new chesty-bits he’s adorable now. 

[ *Also, I believe his skin-detail, head, face, and body hair are LLS’s too! Hahaha oh man, I didn’t even realize…] 

Thank you LumiaLoverSims for helping me age my babies up so nicely!  What would we do without you?  XD 

A Selfsim For Everyone!

On occasion you’re going to see these sims too. 

The one in the red shirt is my selfsim, the guy in brown is my RL-husband, and the woman on the computer is his

RL-sister. 

The two girls at the table are my

RL-daughters (the brunette should be a toddler, oh well), and the boy is my made-up son (because my blonde daughter “needed” a brother =/ ).

I play them all in the same save, but I’m not sure yet whether my selfsim family will play a part in any of the other stories.  We’ll see.

If I can figure out how to fix that damned DesignTool/ScriptCallFail thing that came up, I’d like to share a few standalone-recolors of my Cowplant with everyone.  At the moment, it is tagged under Tree, Shrub, and Flower, and I may yet change the price/catalog-placement. 

Currently comes in Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry, and… Autumn flavors?  I’m thinking of a more obviously black-purple Halloween swatch, and maybe a few more drink/dessert flavors, but not sure yet. 

If anyone has a cool idea for more colors, please let me know! 

House Call

Sgt. LeBearski: “Hello Hopper, first-day flutters hit you yet?  They’re little bastards I tell ya.” 

He laughs.  “Yes, but please, call me Atticus.”

His first assignment of the day: vandalism.  

Apparently someone really likes gnomes.

Officer Atticus: “Do you have any idea who might have done this?” 

Mrs. Ambrogio, wide-eyed, a little too innocently responds “No, not at all.  I’m just here visiting a friend.” 

Officer Atticus: Riiiiight.

…Tippity-tappity-type, just finishing the day’s paperwork…

“According to Greek mythology, humans were originally created with four arms, four legs, and a head with two faces. Fearing their power, Zeus split them into two separate beings condemning them to spend their lives in search for their other halves.”

~Plato’s The Symposium.

How many times will I reblog this? “Always.”

We did it at school. The myth also says that the pairings could be male/female, male/male or female/female (just sayin’)

This made me ; ; a lil.

The New Guy

“Ah, mister Hopper, please sit down.”  Chief Lovelace gestures to an uncomfortable looking chair. 

“Good morning sir!”  As he sits down Atticus wonders if the high protein breakfast was such a good idea; it’s feels heavy, and ready to escape at the first wrong word.

“Mister Hopper, here at the SCPD we deal mainly with public disturbances, petty theft, and a stupid amount of traffic citations.  Really; you wouldn’t believe how many cars drive right through pedestrians and just keep going.”  Lovelace sighs.  “For the most part Newcrest is a good city, a new city where everyone is behaving themselves until they settle in and get bored.  But we still get the occasional missing persons or murder case.  Are you prepared to deal with those when the time comes?  It’s not easy dealing with what we have to see and do.”

“I-”  Atticus stops to mull over his answer.  “Sir, I joined the force to protect and serve… everyone.  My father had a criminal record when he met my mother, but she showed him that he could be more, and helped him turn his life around.  She got him a good job working alongside her, and he’s been making money honestly ever since.  I didn’t join simply to enforce the rules and beat up the bad guys.  I think sometimes the bad guys need help too.  And I’m not sure if I said that right, but basically I wouldn’t be in your office today if I wasn’t ready to do what… whatever needs doing.”  He frowns, wincing inside at the last bit. 

Lovelace stares at him inscrutably for a moment.  “Alright then.  I’m going to go over a few things in here, then you’re going to find Sergeant Lebearski and she’ll fill you in on everything else.” 

Well that wasn’t so bad…

The New Job

[Present Day] 

Freshly graduated and feeling great, Atticus decides to make himself something special for his first day at the Police Station. 

From around the corner Kam laughs, “Just be careful not to burn your breakfast there Iron Chef; you don’t have enough cooking skill to crow over the stove like that!” 

Atticus pours it all onto a plate and sits down beside his father.  “Aw I’m fine, see?  No scorch marks.  I’ve got this.” 

Kam pats him on the back.  “I know you do; you’re a grown man now, with a great job and everything.  Where did the time go?  Yesterday you were peeing on me every time I changed you.” 

Atticus winces, “Aw Dad…” 

“No really, you were ridiculous!”  Kam shakes his head.  They both laughed. 

 “Sorry about that.” Atticus tossed out before cramming the last big bite into his mouth. 

“Oh no, it’s fine, I’ll just return the favor when I’m old and your changing my diapers.” 

Atticus started laughing, and then of course choking, but was fine after a few hard smacks to the back by Kam. 

“Don’t tell your mother that I almost killed you.” 

Atticus chuckles and wipes his mouth.  “Of course not.  I’ve got to go though, I don’t want to be late.” 

“Alright.  Good luck my boy!”
