Crimson Falls BACC - Week 9: Philips

Last week was quite eventful for the Philips family. Jack and Jonathan were already taking care of their two daughters Jill (who was Jack's alien baby) and Jessa (who was biologically Jonathan's daughter, with the help of surrogate Maaike Farijs), but they welcomed three more babies through surrogates: James and the twins Jana and Josh. By the end of the week they had two children and three toddlers.

We start right where we left of last week; with lots of toddlers and chaos.

The landlord tried to repair the broken trash compactor, but instead he got electrocuted and started a fire.

Thank God for fire alarms. No damage was done.

In one of the rare moments where he wasn't busy with the toddlers, Jack helped Jill with her homework.

Having two toddler siblings was especially hard for Josh, for some reason. He was always the one to whine and throw tantrums.

James and Jana were quite sweet.

Jana was a bit behind with her homework, so Jack helped her with it. And yes, that's Stella Crimson, their neighbours keep visiting all the time. They were quite a help with the toddlers, though.

James was the first one to get potty trained, quickly followed by Jana. Josh had a bit more of a struggle and needed some more time.

Jessa and Jill didn't get much attention this rotation, so here's a picture of them to make up for it a little bit.

Josh is really a pain in the ass, constantly whining and harassing his siblings. He's really getting on my nerves - and he's only a toddler.

Jack hoped a little individual attention would do him good, but he kept whining, even when he was in platinum. I guess Josh is just a needy little jerk.


The two oldest girls were lucky to have each other, as their dads were always busy.


Finally, Josh also got potty trained.

Jessa tried teaching Jana a nursery rhyme, while the boys were playing by themselves - even Josh!

         

Cockroaches, yikes! Luckily, the landlord took care of it.

I'm not sure how she manages to do her homework in the middle of three toddlers, but she manages to get an A+ anyway.

Jack read Jana one more story before it was time for them to age up - finally! I honestly thought this would never end.

Jana and Josh went first, as James was busy using the potty.

From left to right: Josh, Jana and James.

I changed the nursery into a bedroom for the boys.

For the first time in forever, Jack was able to take a nice, hot bubble bath.

While Jonathan was having breakfast with some of the kids.

He paid both the maid and the nanny a huge tip, to thank them for their help in the busiest time of their lives.


Jack was in duty of teaching the three youngest kids how to do their homework.


Jill invited her cousin Willow inside to play with the dollhouse/lighthouse.


Jessa and James were getting along quite well, too.

Jonathan started painting all of their portraits to decorate the hallway upstairs. He already finished Jack's.

Jack got promoted to level 4 of the Science career, while Ryder Dorrestein walked by in the background. He chatted with Jill for a bit.

Jessa and James were also having fun with some friends.


I interpret this conversation as Jill and Willow explaning to Jana why their skin is green :-)


As Jonathan finished both Jack's and his own portrait, he started with their oldest daughter Jill.

Speaking of Jill: Birthday time!

She rolled Family/Knowledge with the LTW to raise 20 puppies or kittens. God no, not again.

And we end this week with a very dark pic of Jonathan getting promoted to level 9 of the dance career - so close to reaching his LTW!
