Knowe/Mander/Thyme, Day 87, Part 7

And woohoo #3 in the closet!

Helen's got a woohoo in bed want too, but she couldn't get Gerry there before the date timer ran down.

Sofie: How do we play this again?

Teo: I don't know! I thought you did!

Hi Vince (I'd forgotten about his "tough guy" makeover)! Hi Cliff!

(Yeah, I'll probably be taking a load more background pics for a while as I get to see everybody again!)

Why is it always the grown ups using the swings?

That's better!

Sofie made hot dogs, and Promise came to eat one with her.

Axel just adores his big sister!

Teo and Sofie both had low aspirations, so I sent them out to community lots, hoping they could roll some more fillable wants. They didn't, but at least they got a change of scene.

Meanwhile, the little kids had a chilled day at home, playing, skilling and napping!

Knowe/Mander/Thyme, Day 87, Part 6

They don't seem to care that Amorie's trying to play darts here!

They don't seem to care about a lot except each other right now, it seems.

Ed seems to suggest they're being a bit loud!

And another woohoo in the car!

Knowe/Mander/Thyme, Day 87, Part 5

It said "join" in his queue, but I don't know who he thinks he's joining!

Ida Juana and Hi both had "woohoo in bed" wants, and a couple of hours before Hi had to go to work, so they stayed in bed.

Gerry has breakfast with the boys.

Helen: Ida said she'd watch the kids - lets go Out out!

In the morning, only Hi had work, and Helen was determined to make the most of Gerry's day off!

Knowe/Mander/Thyme, Day 87, Part 3

Sofie: Hi, Devon. You come to see Teo? He's just feeding the dog - want a makeover whilst you wait?

Devon: I saw what you did to Luisa's hair - it looked good. But I don't want you to cut mine.

Sofie: How's that?

Devon: Oh, wow! Teo, your sister's good with hair, man!

I cut off the speech bubble, but they're talking about books. I can't imagine Hi's read many books, myself...

Time to sort out Teo's fun bar!

Speaking of fun bars... Hi also rolled a want for a skill point, and he needs one more body point to get his coaching job, so the trampoline seemed like a good idea. I got him some more flattering gymwear once he'd finished!

Sofie: Are you sure you don't want me to do you hair, Uncle Gerry? I could use the practice.

Gerry: Quite sure, thank you. I know I could trust you, but I just like my hair like it is.

This family gets through so much food!

Devon stayed late, hanging out with Teo.

Knowe/Mander/Thyme, Day 87, Part 2

3/4 chose Baked Alaska! But wait... what drama is this in the background?

I really don't know what's going on here. I wondered first whether Dakota had found out her husband's sleeping with Dot, and attacked her first, but I made her selectable and checked her memories, and she doesn't know... so... who knows?

Interesting, though.

The kids keep out of the way of drama!

Knowe/Mander/Thyme, Day 86, Part 5

Dream date!

That's all well and good, but it's not the body point he needs to land a coaching job before he gets too old to play.

Sofie: Can we talk about the elephant in the room that's Mum's leotard? Really, Mum? You look like something out of the eighties!

Sofie: Dad, can you persuade Mum to be a bit less embarassing?

Hi: Probably not. I think she's cute-

Sofie: She's your wife - you have to think she's cute! To me, she's just embarassing!

Axel: So can the horsie move like this?

Sally: No.

Axel: Why not? I moved two one way and one a different way.

Sally: Yeah, but the one a different way can't be backwards! It's got to make a L shape - look, like this... or this... or this.

I don't think you should be telling your housemate (who you triple bolt with) dirty jokes in the bathroom, Hi...

Knowe/Mander/Thyme, Day 86, Part 4

Sally: Hi, I'm Sally.

James: I just got a new baby sister and she's a girl but she's not green like an alien even though she didn't come out of Mummy's tummy.

Sally: That's a very long name...

James: No, that's not my name! My name's James!

Gerry: In the spirit of whimsy and joyful camaraderie, I propose we engage in a playful duel, armed solely with pillows. Let us turn this tranquil space into a realm of laughter and feathered fun, suspending our cares amidst a flurry of soft blows.

Helen: You're an idiot.

Malachi: That's a dumb idea! Who'd want to go to school on Saturdays?

Sally: But it wouldn't be like proper school - we could have loads of extra-curriculars and-

Malachi: Boring!

Axel: Can I get on?

Meredith: Sure.

Axel: Whee!

Sally: My teacher had an earth pencil sharpner and she said if the pencil sharpner was the earth, the sun would be as wide as the classroom!

Sally: What's your favourite song, Axel?

Meanwhile, Helen and Gerry went out on a date and took their kids along to play in the park too.

Knowe/Mander/Thyme, Day 86, Part 2

Hey, if talking about your housemate works for foreplay then go ahead, you two!

Woohoo!

Tiago: Let it go! Let it go! ... go! ... go! No, that's not right...

Passerby: You need a B flat, kid.

Tiago: B flat? Which ones that? Why's it flat?

Sofie: Hi, I'm Sofie. I think we're in the same Science class?

Reuben: Yeah. I'm Reuben. I'll be famous soon, so you can say you knew me before I was famous!

There's some interesting dancing going on here.

Sofie thinks her mum's so embarassing!

Time to get onto that homework.

Feliz wishes they'd fill the bath less full for small dogs!

Ida Juana, Sofie and Tiago weren't tired, so whilst most people went to bed, they headed out to the Community Centre.
