Week 5 - Round 9 - 9 Oak Square (Collin)

Welcome back everyone! I'm actually kind of feeling bad for the Collin family because once again they get to be the first family played after a new installation of an expansion pack. Ok, it's just a stuff pack, but it has the same effect. Families reset to move in moods, possible glitches, etc. Poor kids, sigh.

Previously at 9 Oak Square

Weldon's been fairly patient with Kirsty's business, but the poor guy is a family man and he still has only one child, and no male heir in sight. Time to get busy!

Every single time that Sinjin comes into the store he has the lost look on his face. I can't really figure out why, but at least he's easy to earn stars from!

Kirsty's business is really hopping!

Poor Kirsty, it's hard to run a successful business, raise a child, try to get pregnant again with your husband, and still have a normal career to boot.

Holding down his job, working on his Robot badge, and trying to get his wife pregnant hasn't been easy on poor Weldon either. In fact, the only one who seems to be having a decent lifestyle at the moment is little Jessica.

Kirsty and Weldon decided that they had their hands full with other responsibilities and hired Remington Harris to help out with household chores. Usually I leave this to the nanny, but the Collin family nanny isn't much on cleaning.

Much as I need Weldon to help out with the robot making end of the business, he needs to skill build for his next promotion, so it's back to his pathetic giraffe for him, lol.

Yay Kirsty! This is Kirsty's second TOC and the job where she will be remaining since it gives her plenty of time to work on her business.

Tuesday night and they're still trying to get pregnant. I'm beginning to think that Weldon's powder is a bit damp, which means that Kirsty will most likely be subjected to cheesecake twins just to ensure that Weldon will have the three children required for his LTW. On that subject, does anyone know if the college grads have to move back in with the parents for Weldon to realize that they've graduated? Any help on this is appreciated, please and thank you!

Poor Jessica hasn't been forgotten, she's just playing happily by herself in the basement. She needs siblings almost as badly as Weldon needs poor children. Her parents don't really have very much time for her, and yet she's a very happy tot.

Jessie was getting pretty stinky since nannies in this town don't seem to believe in bathing the children, so Weldon took a break from his procreating to bath his daughter. He's actually not a bad father, just a very busy dad.

Jessica isn't the only thing that's been neglected around here. It's winter and yet there are still leaves on the ground for Weldon to rake. You two aught to be ashamed of yourselves.

Kirsty's off to save the earth!

The store is completely out of crafted stock so Weldon actually gets to work on his badge while he creates some new stock. The shop has actually been closed two days in a row. Kirsty better open shop tomorrow or all her loyal clients may forget she exists.

Happy Birthday Jessica! I'm sorry your parents weren't here, but at least I was.

Jessica is so desperate for a friend that she's actually trying to be friends with Kendall. That's just sad.

I really feel awful for Jessica. The yard was already for her birthday party and then her parents had to work that night. Now the poor little waif has to sit out here by herself eating burnt muffin.

Three in the morning and Jessica is out flying a kite. I think she's got to be my most neglected child ever.

Kirsty's returned with an obvious pregnancy and Aremis Rainseeker. Too bad she doesn't have time for socializing. She opens the business for a few hours and then heads to bed utterly exhausted.

Kirsty actually managed to find enough energy to teach Jessica about homework. Good thing too since Weldon doesn't get home until midnight. Yes, Kendall still sitting around and cooking lots of meals. Kirsty will be sending her home for the night as soon as she's done helping Jessica, after which she has to finish preparing the Lobster that Kendall started but never finished.

Kirsty believes in being prepared and so she's getting the turkey prepped now. She'll just have to try to find time to invite that dratted headmaster over, but Weldon's latest promotion doesn't help since he leaves for work at 1pm.

Time for a quick midnight restocking!
