rena1211 | Round 3: Winchester

Previous round: Kelly and Bill had their first baby boy: Cole
Kelly was busy working for promotions and got pregnant the second time. So far pregnancy was rough for her

Time to get a friend for Alegra!

But first things first: With the money from the ROS event Kelly bought a school for Redsborough. We'll have 3 school kids this round so it's necessary. And because Marcus cheated on Riley and will move it we also needed an apartment complex. And also because Patricia managed to get pregnant and I so do not want 3 kids at once in that household

This is the school. Not the apartment complex

I wanted it colourful. Because as far as I can remember school wasn't very colourful

This is the apartment complex. I got inspired by a walk in my friend's neighbourhood. We're both living in the same city but she lives in a more family-oriented and affordable area and that's the vibe I wanted for this place

It has a small common area. We'll see more of it later when the first Sims move in. All in all Kelly had to pay almost 90.000 for both buildings

I kept this lama thingy from last round and Bill started the autumn round with playing

Cole started the round with being cute

I am so in love with this boy!

Meanwhile Kelly could sleep for a little while. But she was still hungry so she made some sandwiches

After lunch she had some time and energy to play with Cole

Alegra wasn't so happy that the warm days are nearly over so she stayed in her bed

Bill: So now that you already hate me because you need your bath I have to tell you something: We'll get another dog

Labrador: Do you mean me?

Everyone say 'Hi' to Merlin!

Bill: Oooh, you're a good boy!

I think Merlin agrees

Good boys deserve a belly rub!

What's with the tongue? That's kinda rude!

Good girls need some treats too, of course!

Alegra: Excuse me, Sir, but that is my bone!
Merlin: Oh, sorry, I didn't know!

Now she's happy

While Alegra enjoyed the time for herself Merlin was around Cole all the time. He doesn't look too happy in this picture, but these two interacted automatically all the time!

Kelly also met Merlin

Time to meet baby number 2!

Hi there! This time it was a girl. Meet Hailey

Few minutes later her carpool arrived. But Daddy was there to take care of Hailey

Luckily Cole was old enough to spend some time for himself

That way Bill had more time for the newborn

Patricia Sullivan walked by and got greeted!

Bill: whoa, she's so hot!

Even if you weren't married you had no chance, you know?

No, please! Maybe I want you to have puppies. Please no fighting!

That's better

Some skilling/working on extra money

Kelly spent some time woth Cole. But where was she looking at?

Ah, understood! Watching your sleepy puppy is always a good

Merlin: Hey bud! Wanna play?

These two <3

Merlin was the best big brother ever!

Can't wait to see this little one to grow up

Things I do not miss about having a young dog

Alegra shared my opinion

Kelly: When Hailey gets older I'll have two kids to be BFFs with!

Alegra demanded some attention

You know those dogs who always want to have the most attention?

Kelly: Hi, Merlin!

Meanwhile these two woohoo'ed om the couch and... produced chimes. Great job! Couldn't wait a day or two?

With a third baby on the way it was time to let the first two grow up. So they invited friends and neighbours Thomas Miller, Patricia and Oliver Sullivan and Christine

Anna Miller, Errol Sergeant, Kyle Sullivan and Riley Bradbury came as well

I've played with ACR for some time but it still surprises me how automatically these two make out all the time

Cole was the first one to grow up

Bill: Great that we'll soon have three of them, right?

Hailey got older as well!

For some reason I took a photo of Cole's new bed before taking photos of the kids. Great priorities!

Speaking of priorities...

Merlin being his usual self and being in the middle of everything!

Some townie love! Maybe Errol Sergeant (by DeeDee) and Christine want to convince me to make them playable? But yes, for that reason I decided to follow DeeDee's rules and make a townie playable after every 10. birth (Errol and Christine have to wait though, I have another townie couple I ship even more)

Finally baby photos! Hailey grew up to an adorable toddler

She's a cutie!

Cole grew up to a very handsome young man! (with Kelly's lips, I guess. Aka Bethany Hawk's lips, aka Caleb Hawk's lips, since Kelly is from my previous hood and I had a lot of DeeDee's Sims' genes there)

Riley was there for the cake! (As well as Merlin I guess)

Errol: If we make things serious the watcher will have to make us playable! I'm not used to the townie life

Cole told Riley about her future: You'll have another baby this round!
Yes, Cole, we all know

Kelly: Why do I have to do this again?

Don't look at me like this! You decided to have a third child! So this won't be the last potty training

Now that Cole is older, Kelly told him about some other aspects of life

Kisses for Hailey

Tickles for Hailey

Can't really be mad about Kelly and Bill making a third child - these two are adorable

Hailey was not a fan of Mommy sleeping while she was awake

Bill: Who is an attention seeker? Yes, you are!

Right guess

Some playing in the morning

After Kelly's talk from the evening before Cole decided that he won't be a burglar when he grows up

Cole: I think I'll just play forever!

Or maybe I'll be an architect! Isnt' that Dad's LTW?
Kelly: Sorry, gotta go!

Sleepy baby

The garden got a makeover now that Cole is a child

Lama thingy also found it's place in the backyard

Bill taught Hailey how to walk

Some sunday sleeping

And some cleaning

Kelly and Merlin played fetch. On the street. Like you don't have a garden?

Some friendship talk at dinner

Cole was more interested in this outdoor sofa than the playground

Time for his first school day! The new local teacher is Patricia btw

Random picture is random

The leaves start to fall

I decided to let those two make some puppy. The only reason I struggled was Alegra's docked tail. But let's say this is really natural and has nothing to do with unnecessary violance against animals. (Won't argue about that. There are a few - and really only a few - cases, where it is necessary for medical reasons. Otherwise it's just brutal and I'm glad that it's illegal in many states)
