Shawn (father/young adult)
Alisa (mother/young adult)
Elias (boy #7/teen/grey)

Navy (boy #9/child/spice brown)
Dexter (boy #10/toddler/white)
Eugenie (girl #10/toddler/white)

To check up on those who’ve already moved out, you can view the Murdle family tree. Also, if you find yourself wanting a Murdle of your very own, up top at the Family tab is where you can grab .sim downloads of them once they hit young adult. 🙂

What better way to start off than with toddler pics? *squee*

The kiddos are all busy munching on some muffins Indigo baked up.

Navy’s quick to declare “Not it!” on the dish-washing front. (Why he got the derpy eyes to do so I do not know.)

Dangit. I was going down the line sending kiddos to bed and Indie had to use that three seconds to autonomously check for (and find) monsters. At least it’s not her bed. LOL Off to sleep you go, little girl.

And while I was sending Indigo to bed, Shawn put a not-remotely tired Eugenie in a crib (her brother’s crib.) Eugenie is not amused.

Mom releases her, and skilling for the tiny twins commences.

Closeup of Dexter because I did one of Eugenie up there. LOL

It’s his turn to learn walking while Eugenie is off learning to talk from dad. I think I actually got zero potty pics this time. Full houses leave me a little scattered.

One set of fully-skilled toddler twins is heading off to dreamland now. 🙂

The next day is Toby’s birthday

He rolls for trait and gets.. Technophobe. LOL A technophobic inventor.  You do you, Toby.

Here’s a better shot of him, and Navy inexplicably thinking about planes.

Toddler smush face! *wub*
Eugenie: “Look, I’ve already got this one trained!”

Other toddler smush face! *wub*
Toby set Eugenie down and settled in to play with Dexter. I was “awww”ing over that when Elias decided to end his workout and head in to play with Eugenie.

The tiny twins definitely have their big brothers wrapped around their fingers.

Their features are so different. I can’t decide which I like better.

Indigo went home with this guy, who turns out to be Brandon Winchester’s son. He is completely his dad in terms of coloring, but looks more like his mom features-wise. Still, he’s cute, so I have her chuck a friendship potion at him so she can stake claim early. LOL

I…can’t remember why I took this picture. Enjoy anyway.

Giddy face of celebration for Elias because.. it’s his birthday!

And.. face of giddy celebration is gone. LOL

Official Stylist room portrait. He rolled up a trait that I, as usual, forgot.

But enough of grown-up faces. There are toddlers in the house!

Adorable ones, even if Dexter’s looking a bit serious here.

Meanwhile, the “big” twins are peacefully sleeping, and dreaming synchronized dreams about books.

Alisa is taking care of the joint wish she and Toby had for him to learn to drive.

Shawn is busy being the WORST fully-skilled fisherman that I’ve seen (he caught zilch out there in the hours he was fishing our stocked backyard pond).

Another day, another adorable toddler montage.

Shawn gets another promotion and still looks like he’d like to cut me for sticking him with this job. *hehe*

Indie goes home with Kenton again. They play rock paper scissors and throw the same thing THREE TIMES, which is clearly a sign that they’re meant to be.

Toby is focused on inventing something or other.

Navy gets to writing.

Indigo gets home and it’s straight to the easel for her.

She and her twin decided to both roll up Renaissance Sim for their LTW. We’ll use the tabcasts and some potions and it should be easy enough to get them there before they hit young adult. 🙂

And that night, Elias moves out to the tiny house that I made for him. (There are no free houses in town, so I just make little ones for the kids when they leave now.) I’m pretty sure that judging by the look on his face, he knows his girlfriend Grace has also aged up. And true enough, we got about 12 sim-hours in before story progression said they moved in together.

Toby’s LTW requires him to have much music skill (Hit Composer.. he maxed logic as a child). His wishes that he rolls on the daily are for him to invent stuff, so I have him tabcasting guitar lessons all the time. This is how well the poor technophobe takes this instruction. Every. Time. I promise to not make you touch it again once you max it out, buddy.

Hey look! Birthdays for the big twins! Navy goes first, alone in the dark, in the front yard.

Ta-da!! And he finally rolled something good! He adds Genius to his list.

Indigo’s turn!

Shing-sparkle-sparkle.. She rolled and got.. Dislikes Children. Well. Stinks to be her, cuz there’s definitely gonna be kids here. LOL

Twinning bemused expressions!

A more neutral faced look at the two of them.

And the more things change, the more they stay the same. Indigo immediately starts pointing out how dirty it is in hopes that someone (not her) will clean. Navy doesn’t even grace it with an answer because he called “not it” so many times that it should just be obvious by now.

And, since we have one spot in the household and many of her babies becoming old, these guys are going to work on another. (It’ll knock out one wish for Shawn and three for Alisa.. LOL She wants a baby, wants a baby with Shawn, and wants to woohoo with Shawn.)

And I think we’ll wrap it there for now.. getting the attempt at baby X. It’s getting so close!
