Welcome back to the Cordell Baby Boom! Last time time there were birthdays, sibling outings, new friends made via time travel, and Blake had an odd obsession with swimwear. And this is the last chapter of the challenge!!!! I’m so excited to be finally finished this!

Look at my two white haired witches playing together.
Blip: “We aren’t children anymore!”

Of course the fairies are doing their usual free time activity of dancing away.

Look at all these teens, and one by one they will all become young adults this chapter.

And birthdays are already upon us!

Bass is now Good, which joins Friendly, Artistic, Loser, and Couch Potato.

Blaine adds Cat Person to Heavy Sleeper, Easily Impressed, Supernatural Fan, and Bookworm.

Bass: “See ya!”
Um, why has Blaine stripped down to his swimwear?
Bass: “I’ll make sure he doesn’t lose anymore clothes.”

With spring comes the sad melting of snowmen.

It looks like Hades gets to attend another party, at least this one doesn’t have a swimwear dress code.

Though I’m not sure why they all decided to chat in the bushes instead of going into the house.

The five remaining siblings were sent out to another outing.

I’m not entirely sure what this is supposed to be, but there are several bars.

Which the under age teens quickly make use of.

These two fairies are Bleet and Billie, I think.

Blip, do you really need more apples in your inventory?
Blip: “One can never have too many apples!”

These kids seem to be going wild with the open unmonitored bar.

Billie: “I like the noise!”

Bleet: “I actually have taste, unlike those losers.”
Blip: “YOU MEAN YOU HAVE NO TASTE!!!”

Hades: “I. Will. Put. On. Muscles!”
You know, I think it may be working. You’re not looking so twig like now.

I know one of these is Beetle, and I think the other one is Bleet. It’s so hard to tell when they’re like this, I have to judge by colour (Since I took no notes).

Billie: “WOO FREE BOOZE!!”
Blip: “RIGHT ON!!”
And I think most of them are ‘juiced’ now.

At least their parents are enjoying themselves.

It’s a new day and a new outing! This time the kids are at the fire station.

Bleet quickly finds the easel to occupy herself.

Really? Like you couldn’t play video games at home? I’m pretty sure your house has a better tv too.
Beetle: “But we don’t have these games!”
Blip: “Yeah, cause these are ancient.”

Billie is just repeatedly going up and down the fire poles.

Bleet: “This is actually great!”

Bleet: “Oooo, foosball.”
How did foosball even get it’s name? It’s kind of odd…

Looks like Beetle is also getting in on the fire pole sliding.

Diana: “I am child free!!!”

What happened to those beautiful dives you were doing earlier?
Diana: “I TRIPPED OKAY!!!”

Looks like their stomachs have driven all the kids into the kitchen.

While Diana is having fun destroying all the sand castles.

And the kids are back to their usual activities.

Bleet: “Why is there a raw chicken carcass on the table?”
Diana: “Blame your father, he’s still trying to turn apples into gold.”

Diana got a new outfit from time travelling… She looks so unDiana like.
Diana: “It’s called blending in.”

She also got this giant statue, and since it’s kind of water themed it goes by the pool.

Really? Using the waterslide with frost on the ground in your outerwear?????

And there’s another burglar. Unfortunately there’s no Blake this time around to kick his ass. It certainly seems like the police officer is losing… Again.

Oh look, it seems Brett has taken up Blake’s mantle.

He actually managed to defeat the burglar, unlike the useless cop.

It seems the fairies are all dancing in celebration, while Blip chats online.

Brett: “So where are we this time?”
Bleet: “Some kind of bar I think.”

Would you look at that, there’s actually other people here. Hi Balthazar!

Oh man, Baxter is still a hotdog, from the costume party, TWO POSTS AGO.
Bridget: “Why hasn’t that idiot changed yet?”
Baxter: *hic* “What day is it?” *hic*

Billie: “I want to lose time too!”
Beetle: “I’m not sure that’s something you should aim for.”

Baxter: *hic* “Who’re you again?” *hic*
Blip: “Um, should we call someone for you?”
Baxter: *hic* “BALTH!!!”
Brett: “Does he mean Balthazar?”
Blip: “They’re twins aren’t they?”

Oh wow, it’s not often one of the witches gets in on the dancing.

Diana: “I totally rock this outfit.”
The only people at this party are your children, who’re you trying to impress?
Brayson: “I feel a sinister stare at my back.”
Diana: “You’d think you’d appreciate a good evil plan, you are one of my evil brood after all.”

Birthday time for the triplets!!!!

Breet is now a Bot Fan which joins Brave, Socially Awkward, Unlucky, and Loves the Cold.

Bleet adds Computer Whiz, to Heavy Sleeper, Sailor, Artistic, and Clumsy.

And Billie becomes a Diva which joins Insane, Neurotic, Hates the Outdoors, and Over-Emotional.

Brett and Billie then get into a fight. I’m not sure what about.

Good luck dealing with them by yourself Bleet.
Bleet: “I hate my life.”

Oh no.

You’ve got to be kidding me!!! After all that trouble trying to get twelve boys and Diana brings one home via time travel??????
Diana: “I’m not any more happy about this than you are.”

Anyway, meet Vasyl Cordell. He’s Family Oriented, Clumsy, and Friendly. He’s an extra kid so I am not going to wait for him to grow up, but he will be up for download with the other kids.

Since he’s a time child, I know he’s a Diana face clone, but at least he’s cute. And here I thought this family was done with children. (Seriously, there’s like 2 or 3 days before Blip and Beetle age up)

It is so weird being down to only two teens. This household hasn’t been this small since Bella was born.

Vasyl: “Why isn’t anyone sitting with me?”
Blip: “Why would we want to sit with you?”
Diana: “I’m still mad I got stuck with another brat.”

Vasyl: “Hamburger for breakfast.” *smashes it in face* “Am I eating this right?”
Beetle: “Sure, just keep going until you choke.”

It’s been awhile since I’ve caught Diana working out… This is where I remember that one of her traits is Athletic.

Look at this, only three kids in the house!
Vasyl: “You can’t ignore me forever!”
*silence*
Vasyl: “I’m here to stay ya know!”

Hades: “Let’s turn this goldfish into something interesting.”
Blip: *smashes head on key board trying to avoid spell*

Oh cool, it’s a rainbow snail!! They’re going to keep him! I think I gave him a name, but I have no idea what it is.

Beetle: “When did we get a trampoline?”
Ages ago, it’s not my fault you never noticed it.

Vasyl: “Yes! I knew you’d all come around.”
Blip: “You’ve grown on us. Like a fungus.”

They then got sent out for some sibling bonding.

To the art galley, which has a random floating painting…

Diana got another outfit from time travel, and this one actually suits her.
Diana: “I know, I look like a badass.”

Hades has once more taken up his past time of painting.

Vasyl: “Oh cool, a gnome!”

The painting actually looks like it’s sitting on a wall, but it’s not, it’s just the angle.

Look how empty the house is!

And it’s birthday time!!!

Blip is now a Bot Fan, which joins Hydrophobic, Slob, Hot-Headed, and Eccentric.

Beetle adds Unflirty to Hydrophobic, Athletic, Coward, and Clumsy.

With their portraits started these two are out of here!

How does it feel to be finally done with this challenge?
Hades: “Great! I’m finally free to do what I want!”
Diana: “When we finished this, I did not expect to still have a child.”

Vasyl: “I’m so glad to be a part of the family! You guys are stuck with me, forever! Isn’t that great?”
Hades & Diana: *shudders*
Diana: “We’re supposed to be done with children now, not stuck with one forever!”
Hades: “There goes my plans of childless freedom.”

Now here’s all the portraits, here is Diana and Hades.

With the boys to the left (Not including Vasyl)

And the ladies to the right! With a total of 30 children (31 if you include Vasyl), the family ended up with SIX extra girls (plus Vasyl).

This challenge is finally done! I did do a bachelor challenge with Brian and Bryan a while ago, so if you haven’t read it already feel free to check it out under the table of contents. I actually played for awhile with Brian and Bryan, and their chosen brides (it turned out pretty interesting), so I am going to post a sort of where are they now chapter, it should be up shortly after this. I’ve been sitting on the pictures for awhile and I’ve always planned on posting it (though I might have to look up the names of their kids first), I just never got around to it. You are also welcome to check out any of my other stuff if you haven’t already! I hope you enjoyed this mess!

Welcome back to the Cordell Baby Boom! Last time there was a costume party, the dishwasher broke… AGAIN, and Hades and Diana were oddly coupley (matching costumes among other things).

Geez Bass, what happened to you?
Bass: “There may have been a mishap with my homework.”
Ah, you figured out how to do it by magic then.
Bass: “Maybe…”

And it’s a jump straight into birthdays.

Brett is now Socially Awkward, with his other traits I sort of imagine him as a hapless adventurer who’s always getting hurt or in trouble.

Billie is now Neurotic, cause that’s exactly what an Insane sim needs.

And Bleet is now a Sailor.

Witches are video gaming, and fairies are dancing, so there’s nothing new here.

What is new is that Hades has started to read some recipe books he got from the bookstore.

He’s also been practicing his magic (and going cross-eyed apparently).

Diana has been working on creating potions (It doesn’t take long before this gets abandoned).

Look at all these kids doing homework, and only two of them are children, the last two children of this challenge!

Why does everyone only play in the one corner of the sandbox??? There’s plenty of space!

Somehow I don’t think soccer in the snow would work very well.
Blaine: “My feet may or may not be numb.”
I am not surprised.

Diana: “That damn potions table. At least these bathrooms are conveniently located.”

Billie: “DO THE BOOGEY WOOGEY!!!”
Bass: “Sometimes I wonder how we can be related.”

Hades: “I’m going to convert this apple into gold!”
Does it work?
Hades: “No. I guess I’ll have to keep trying.”

Um, I must of had Diana plant this plant for a reason… But I have no idea what it was, or even what this plant is.

Again Bass?
Bass: “It was an accident, OKAY!”

Let’s see what kind of snowman Brett is going to make, an interesting one maybe?

Nope, just traditional, but it’s face is not where Brett put it on the snowman… WTF Is it alive????
Brett: “I may have accidentally added some magic gemstone to it’s eyes.”
That may have not been a good idea!!! Now we’re going to end up with a snowman apocalypse!

And it’s birthday time again!

Despite how I call them the disappointment twins, I am rather fond of Beep and Boop. Beep is now a Born Saleswoman which joins Snob, Brave, Excitable, and Genius.

While Boop adds Athletic to Loves the Heat, Good, Slob, and Ambitious.

With their portraits started they can move out!

The kids didn’t have school so they were all sent to a random lot. I think this is supposed to be some sort of cafe.

Blip: “Everyone else is being boring, so I’m gonna make a snowman.”

Beetle: “VROOM VROOM! Oh no an old lady is crossing the street! As Mom would say, TEN POINTS IF YOU HIT HER!!!”
*face palm* What has Diana been teaching you?

The fairies are taking turns pulling pranks on each other, while the witches practice their magic.

Who destroyed Blip’s snowman? I’m pretty sure she worked hard on that!

Billie: “No one will know the difference!”
What about the snowman body laying around.
Billie: “IRRELEVANT!”

Billie: “HOW DARE YOU MAKE FUN OF MY PLAN, I’LL SHOW YOU IDIOTIC!!”

Beetle: “I’ve had my fun, so I’m out of here.”
So much for spending some time with your siblings.

Beetle isn’t the only one to ditch though.
Blip: “Everyone was so boring!”

Bass: “Hm, what do you think of his conclusion?”
Brett: “You said there was a car chase, where’s the car chase?”
Bass: “If you’re not going to contribute, then shut up!”

No more children! The last ones are becoming teens!

Beetle is now Athletic.

While Blip is Eccentric.

Of course one of the first things Beetle does is try to play soccer in the snow.

Why is everyone loaded up into a taxi?

They’re going on another sibling outing!

Billie: “Aren’t I a happy doggy?!”
Uh, sure?

Oh look, I guess I sent everyone to the library.
Blaine: “Some of us are actually trying to read here.”

Billie: “Meh, I think it would be better if she was also missing a head.”

Bleet: “Hey, what’s that?”
Bass: “Huh?”

Bass: “What was that for???”
Bleet: “It’s funny!”

Bass: “Ha, nice to see her get a taste of her own medicine.”

Billie: “Now this is what I would call quality art.”

Diana: “What is the point of throwing a pool party when YOU HAVE NO POOL!!!”
Brandon: “Yeah, I may not have thought it through.”

Glad to see everything’s back to normal.

Hi Banana, what’re you doing here? And I’m pretty sure that’s not the outerwear I gave you.

It seems Buttercup has replaced Betsy as the consignment store cashier.
Hades: “I seem to run into my kids everywhere I go.”
That’s cause they make up most of the town’s population.

Hades managed to find this gnome at the consignment store, so it gets to join the families collection.

Oh look, it’s prom time again, and once more I didn’t record anything that happened! Oh, well, it probably wasn’t all that dissimilar to the other proms these kids attended.

Hades: “Come on, APPLES TO GOLD!!”
Blip: “I don’t think that’s going work.”

Bass: “This is just what I needed.”
Blip: “I’M PLAYING WITH SAND! COME JOIN ME!”
Bass: *sigh* “It’s a shame I’m not alone.”

Seriously? Another pool party without a pool!?
Hades: “I should have listen to Diana.”

Beetle: “Why haven’t we cancelled our subscription yet? It’s not like anyone reads this thing.”
Blaine: “Who knows? Maybe Mom gets some sort of satisfaction from having a pile of rotting paper on the lawn.

I see the ‘pool party’ is still going strong, though it looks like Blake is the only persisting with swimwear.

At least these guys have an actual pool to use.

Hades: “Aw damn.”

Hades: *snore*

Billie: “So how long is Dad going to be asleep for?”
Blaine: “How should I know, I’ve never tested it before.”
Blip: “Seriously? Why are you all like this?”

Bass: “Ha, I’m glad I’ve moved past that stage.”
Blip: “We will not mention this again.”
Bass: “Not a chance, I’m going to hold this over your head forever!”

Uh, did Diana just change the past?

It seems the family has gained some face 1 friends.

And then it happened again!

This time the family gained the friend of a cat.

Blake seems to have an obsession with swimwear. WHY WOULD YOU WEAR A BATHING SUIT TO A FEAST PARTY???????

And here’s some more of Bass exploits as a Loser at school.

And that’s all for now folks, see you next time!

Blip Cordell – Girl #18, witch, child, Violet

Welcome back to the Cordell Baby Boom! Last time there were birthdays, pumpkins were carved, Bridget threw a lousy party, and Blake once more did the cops job by beating up the burglar.

Blake and Blaze have their portraits started and are moving out. Blake is probably off to start some kind of new age religious cult, while Blaze tags along just to scam everyone out of their money.

Now that they’re children Blip and Beetle get to carve pumpkins to join everyone else’s.

Beep: “Ow, I think I hurt my back.”
Maybe give the waterslide a rest for awhile.
Beep: “Nah.”

There’s always someone dancing around here (it’s always a fairy too).

Bass is still working on her painting, Hades actually doesn’t do a portrait of himself, Bass skills up to level 7 and does it.

Beetle’s pumpkin is on the left, and Blip’s is on the right.

Beetle: “When were these things last cleaned?”
Seeing as you were the last toddler in the house that’s probably your own waste.
Beetle: “So it’s been awhile then.”

Diana: “Yeah no, that is not happening. We are not getting a pet!”
Bleet: “Why not, it’s not like your planning on having more kids!”
Diana: “Cause I said so!”

Diana: “Wait a minute, I still have genie lamp!”

Diana: “What happened to your hat?”
Genie: “I’d prefer not to talk about it. You have one wish left.”

Diana: “Hm, what to wish for? Oh I know! World Misery!”
Bleet: “You suck Mom.”

Genie: “If you’re sure. I NOW BRING MISERY TO THE WORLD!!”

Diana: “MWAHAHAHA!! I CAN FEEL THE POWER FLOWING THROUGH ME!!!!”
Genie: “Have fun with that, I’m out of here.”

Blip: “I still think it’s cheating. You can fly and I can’t! It’s not fair if you’re allowed to fly in tag!”
Bleet: “Tough luck. As Mom would say, use every advantage you have…”
Blip: “Yeah, yeah, and if you don’t have an advantage make one, I know.”

Brett: “I love puddles!”

It’s raining, why are you two having a water balloon fight???
Bleet: “It just makes it more fun!”

Beetle: “And then the Grim Reaper told her that she was dead all along.”
Beetle, no one is listening.
Beetle: “So?”

Ah, look at my two white haired kids playing together. The white hair doesn’t show up a lot, and Brett is the only boy to get it.

Why are you running this time?

Brett: “I keep finding monsters! Why are they always lurking under the beds???”

Diana, what are you doing?

You ARE HER MOTHER!! You just insulted yourself.

Diana: “Well my wings are better than yours!”
Boop: “I don’t think so!”
Guys, the only difference in your wings is the colour.

Beetle: “Oh no.”
Could you not make it to one of the 6 bathrooms (including all-in-one bathrooms) in the house?
Beetle: “Apparently not.”

Children which have moved out of the house? It’s a party!

It must be Spooky Day, they’re all fighting to kick over the gnomes.

Why is everyone hanging outside?

The party is a costume party! Diana is a white tiger.

While Hades is an orange one… Diana and Hades have matching costumes, that’s adorable.

Bass is a serial killer… I think.

Brett is a grumpy roman, Billie is a superhero, and the hotdog is Blip.

Bleet is a creepy looking clown.

And Beetle is also a superhero.

I’m not entirely sure what Beep is supposed to be.

Blaze didn’t dress up and Blaine is a cow plant.

And the last of the household, Boop is a robber… I wonder where she got that idea from. *cough* Two robberies in two posts *cough*

Baxter amused me greatly by dressing as a hotdog.

I think Balthazar is supposed to be a private detective or something.

Uh, Bryan, where’s your costume?

Bryan: “I was storing it in the netherworld.”

Beatrix is an astronaut… In high heels.

Belladonna: “That’s what you’re wearing?”
Beatrix: “Cheerleader, how cliché.”

Brandon is a hotdog… Again. Why am I surprised?

Bellatrix as a burglar kind of fits.

Now that I think about it, I don’t think any of the boys ended up with the purple hair, only the girls.

It’s a costume party, but everyone seems to be spending it outside, instead of dancing or eating.

For a moment I thought Bryan changed outfits, but that’s Brayson… With the amount of kids Diana and Hades have, there are only so many genetic combinations, some of these kids look too much alike.

And there’s another hotdog, this one is Brian, bringing the hotdog count up to four.

It is so weird seeing Bleet with so much less hair.

Brett is a little roman playing in the sand. This is adorable.

Billie of course didn’t stay in her costume very long.

At least someone is using the nursery, it doesn’t get much use these days.

Really Bella?
Blip: “What is she doing?”

Beep: “I want a turn in the sandbox!”
This sandbox is huge, go to the other end or something!

REALLY? The dishwasher is broken, again!!!!

Bass is now high enough in the painting skill to give Hades a portrait.

Boop: “Do you really have to do that here?”
Diana: “How about I sweep you off your feet somewhere else?”
Hades: “Hurgh.”
Boop: “Gross, I’m leaving now.”

Gnome: “Help. I’m to close to the edge & I can’t swim!”

Hades or Diana (I can’t remember who) found a time machine at the consignment store.

Time for some time travel!

Well those pumpkins didn’t last long, at least Spooky Day is over… The two remaining are Blip’s and Beetle’s.

And that’s all for now, see you next time!

Welcome back to the Cordell Baby Boom! Last time there was a bunch of birthdays, a pool party was thrown and everyone almost drowned, and a burglar attempted to rob the house, and after the cop failed, Blake did her job and beat up the burglar.

Beep like most of the witches in this family watches tv instead of dancing with the fairies.

Until Diana takes the tv over for her own purposes.
Diana: “It’s my house, everyone else can get in line.”

Bass: “There’s a toddler in my way.”
Blaine: “That’s what happens when you have a bunch of younger siblings.”

If you’re wonder why Beep isn’t doing homework, it’s cause she ended up with a random day off from school.

Beep: “It’s not like I took a vacation.”
I think at this point the triplets are all trained up, and the twins are mostly trained too.

Blaze is up to her usual hobby of tormenting toddlers.

There are however three less toddlers in the house! Brett is now Unlucky.

Bleet is Clumsy.

And Billie is Over-Emotional.

Beep: “That counter is disgusting.”
You could do something about it.
Beep: “Nah, someone else will just get it later.”

It’s looking like a typical breakfast morning here.

Diana and Hades are going around upgrading the plumbing to unbreakable. I’m not sure why it took me so long to get around to this.

These two have finished their training and now get to skill up on the xylophone and peg box.

Blip: “Would you stop that racket, I’m trying to concentrate!”
Beetle: “Why would I do that? I’m having fun!”

And MORE BIRTHDAYS. Blaine is now a Bookworm.

While super pale Bass is now a Couch Potato.

This is when I discover that fairy pranks on a couch cause the victim to fall asleep/take a nap.

Brett: “I think I broke the trash compactor.”
At least it’s not the dishwasher this time.

Beep: “He He He.”
Doing something besides chess on that computer for once.
Beep: “The next person to use this thing is in for a surprise.”

Diana: “And now I have to stick my hand into this mess. Why can’t Hades do this?”
Cause he’s no doubt busy doing something else.

The garden is down to five plants, I’m not really bothering to plant any more, they are just getting disposed as they die.

Blaze: “Yes, I’ve done it again!”
Beep: “Can you teach me how to do that?”
Blaze: “Figure it out yourself.”

Blaze isn’t the only teen witch around, Bass and Beep are too.

Even without magic Beep managed to finish her homework before the children got home.

Brett: “I’m far more important than you are, if I died than Mom and Dad would have to have more kids, but if you died everything could go on as normal.”
Billie: “Is that a threat?”
Brett: “Why would I threaten you?”

I gave Bass an easel in her room so she would stop using Hades portrait easels.

Brett: “RUN!!!”
Blake: “Huh? What’s going on!?”

Brett: “We have a situation.”

Brett then decided he better hang outside for awhile.

This old alien decided to visit, at least she’s not abducting anyone this time.

You’ve got to be kidding me, AGAIN????

And the alien is still here, and doing absolutely nothing about the impending robbery.

Hopefully the cops will be a little more useful this time.

And Blake is once more doing the cops job, at least the cop is in uniform this time.

After Blake beat up the burglar, the cop took a try at it. This cop won, so they’re marginally more competent than the last one.

Honestly, Blake might as well take over the cop’s job at this point.
Alien: “What a fascinating ritual.”

What is with this family and face planting on the waterslide?

Bleet: “Ow.”

Billie: “The end is nigh! Take matters into your own hands before the monsters eat you alive!”
Uh, I think I’m good.

Everyone is all over the swings today, usually I’m lucky to get one of them using it.

It’s Spooky Day soon, so I had everyone carve pumpkins!

Half of them were outside.

While Brett was in front of the all-in-one bathrooms upstairs.

And Bass was in her room.

Alright the pumpkins were carved by, from left to right, Diana, Blaze, Blake, Boop, Beep, Blaine, Bass, Brett, Bleet, Billie, and Hades.

I get rid of three insane sims, and then I end up with another. Billie loves to declare her rule over everything.

Bass: “Who needs wings when you have video games!”
Glad to see it’s getting some use.

Beep: “I am the epidemy of beauty, I doubt another being with the grace of I could possibly exist.”

Diana got invited to a party by Bridget, but there was no one else there…

Oh look, Bellatrix and Bryce showed up.

Diana: “You call this a party? Where’s the food? The music?”
Bridget: “Relax Mom, everything is chill.”
Diana: “What is that supposed to mean?”

Buttercup: “If it makes you feel better, I don’t know what she’s talking about either.”
Bellatrix: “At least I’m not the only one confused.”

Stop that Blaze! I want the pumpkins to last until Spooky Day!

Blip got stuck in the potty just as her birthday comes around.

But it’s not just her birthday!

Blaze adds Savvy Sculptor to Evil, Hydrophobic, Star Quality, and Loves the Heat.

Blake adds Unflirty to Loner, Disciplined, Star Quality, and Brave. He also ended up as a cult leader.

Blip is now Hot-Headed, while Beetle is a Coward.

Gnome: “I’m tryin to read the paper here!”
Good luck with reading a folded up newspaper.

And here are some of Bass’s exploits as a Loser at school.

And that’s it for now, see you next time!

Welcome back to the Cordell Baby Boom! Last time there were birthdays, Bleet, Brett, Billie, Beetle, and Blip were born. Which means that all the necessary babies have been born and now the babies just have to get raised up to young adults and the challenge will be done!

We come back to one of the long awaited boys, Brett who has apparently been abandoned in the yard. A+ parenting here people.

And it’s birthday time for the twins of disappointment.

Beep is now a Snob.

While Boop is Ambitious.

Blaire: “You’re actually taking care of one of those things?!”
Beep: “Of course not, I’m just taking a picture with her to make me look more caring.”

Boop: “I’m being swallowed by a black hole.”
Also known as the trampoline.

It seems Blaine has found the waterslide, and it looks like it’s actually appropriate weather for it!

Bass is still super pale and regularly taking over her father’s easels.
Bass: “It’s not like he’s using them right now.”

Oh look, Brett found his way inside.

Brett: “MY TOY!!”

What kind of fairy tale are you telling??? I thought you didn’t believe in magic!
Blaire: “Just cause one doesn’t believe, does not mean one cannot enjoy the stories.”
Right…

Beep: “SAND!!”
Blaze: “We may be playing in sand like a bunch of five year old’s, but you don’t have to be so enthusiastic about it.”

Diana and Hades are currently stuck in a baby training frenzy.
Blake: “You don’t mind if I stand here right?”
Diana: “If you do not move I will pull your intestines out through your mouth.”

Boop: “Water balloon fight!”

Blaze: “I am so not dressed for this!”

Boop: “What the hell?!”
Blaze: “Don’t dish it if you can’t take it!”
Boop: “THERE WERE ROCKS IN THAT!!”
Blaze: “And?”

Blaine: “Aren’t I so cool?”
You’re a fairy dancing in your swimsuit.
Blaine: “So?”

More birthdays! This here is Blip.

While Beetle the long awaited twelfth boy ended up with random blonde hair like Bridget. At least he’s cute.

Seriously Beep, what is it with you and chess?
Beep: “I just like it okay!”

I apparently decided to through another party, this one is a pool party.

Look at all the Cordell’s walking around, though not all of them ended up coming.

Blaine: “Who’re you?”
Buttercup: “I’m your sister. It’s not like a moved out all that long ago!”

Um Braida? Why are you acting like you’re still holding a plate?

Braida: “It’s a dare!!!”
Why am I not surprised?

Look at them all!

Bridget apparently decided to show up in her robot form.

And then she went in the waterslide, her favourite activity. You would think this would make the boxes soggy.

And then a bunch of them decided to have breath holding contests.

Balthazar: “SAND! We didn’t have this when I was here!”
Yeah, cause the family was still pretty broke.

Belladonna: “Are you sure we’re related?”
Yeah, you’re all related, no party crashers showed up this time.

Uh, maybe you should wait for people to move out of the way before you dive!
Baxter: “They can swim.”

Blaze: “How’d I get dragged into this?”
Bass: “I asked?”

Beatrix: “Wow, look at all this new stuff!”

Beatrix: “And I’m surrounded by toddlers! Somebody… Help…”

And it’s prom time for the teens, I wrote absolutely no notes on it, so I can only assume they got into a bunch of fights as per usual with these guys.

Beatrix: “HEARTBREAK SUCKS!!!”
Have you even had your heart broken?
Beatrix: “OF COURSE NOT, IT SUCKS!!”

And then everyone started drowning after spending all day into the pool.

Luckily no one died on me, not even this idiot.

Blaire: “I finally get to leave this house!”

And then they were robbed.

I think Hades managed to call the cops before he started freaking out.

Um, the cop showed up in her swimwear????

She didn’t even win the fight.

I don’t know how Blake ended up with the hidden trait to apprehend burglars, but he did.

Cop: “I just love cooking so much.”
Hades: “Um, don’t you have a job to do?”
Cop: “Oh I think you’ve all got it handled.”

Blake: “And never come back!”

Cop: “Alright time to arrest this thief.”
Blake: “Seriously, I just did your job for you!”

Cop: “Alright burglar, time to leave.”
Talk about a useless cop.

Blaire: “Remember me?”
Ah yes, Blaire is now a Loner which joins Supernatural Skeptic, Evil, Loves the Cold, and Dog Person.

Blaire: “See ya!”
Hades: “At least it isn’t toddler training.”

Blake: “He shoots!”

Blaze: “AND DOESN’T SCORE!!!”
Blake: “Damn.”

Anyway, that’s all for now!

Welcome back to the Cordell Baby Boom! Last time there were birthdays, Buttercup and Bridget moved out, and Diana got pregnant for hopefully the last time.

It must be a day off, as the kids seem to be thoroughly enjoying the new tv and gaming system.

Blaze: “So you really like walking around dressed like that?”
Beep: “What’s the problem?”
Blaze: “Nothing if you like looking like Ronald McDonald threw up on you.”
Blake: “Blaze.”
Blaze: “What? I said I’d be nice to you, I didn’t say anything about everyone else!”

What happened to you?
Blaire: “Someone tazed me.”

You sure about that?
Blaire: “Of course, magic doesn’t exist.”
You’re a fairy.
Blaire: “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

Diana: “That’ll show you to cross me.”
What did Bryce do to deserve a time out?
Diana: “What do you think? He kept trying to set up a prank.”

Diana: “I turn my back for one second and you’re back at it! Haven’t you learned your lesson?!”

Diana: “You’re all a bunch of disappointments!”
Brighton: “AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH.”
Diana: “Look at you jump like a little baby!!”

Banana: “Ow.”
Like father like daughter it seems. You people just don’t learn your lessons.

What are you doing?
Brighton: “The sun will rise and set alight the fire of our souls.”
Right…

Seriously? Didn’t the dishwasher break last time?
Bryce: “Yep, even after you’ve apparently expanded the kitchen.”

Blake: “It’s my birthday!”

It’s Blazes birthday as well, she is now Hydrophobic.

While Blake is now Brave.

It’s raining, I wouldn’t think you’d be able to see anything.
Brighton: “I can see the souls of the damned.”

Blaire: “Blaze is right, he is an idiot.”

Bree: “Why do you have to be so mean all the time?!”
Diana: “Darling, it’s in my nature.”
Bree: “Well your nature sucks!”

Hades: “Am I almost done yet?”
Well, you’ve still got at least two more kids to go, more if you don’t get the boys you need right away.

Bass: “I don’t like being stared at.”

It’s nice to see you let loose for once.
Diana: “I’m trying to kick start my labour!”

Everyone: “YOU’RE IN LABOUR!!!!”

Diana: “IT WORKED!!!”

In case you’re wondering, Blaze is the ice cube.

Bryce was mopping the puddle when this happen… YOU’RE SIBLINGS!!!

Blaze: “I GET FROZEN AND THIS HAPPENS!!!”

And it’s a girl…

But at least there’s a boy too! Meet Brett he’s Brave and Loves the Cold. He’s actually part of a set of triplets, the other two are girls. Bleet who is Artistic and a Heavy Sleeper, and Billie who’s Insane and Hates the Outdoors. I was hoping that by going for triplets, I would end up with more of a chance of getting two boys. *sigh* It looks like another pregnancy is needed

Blake: “Still going at the puddle, huh?”
Bryce: “Oh shut up!”

Blaire and Bass have the same hair colour and the same favourite colour… At least they have a decent age gap between them, otherwise I would get them mixed up for sure.

After upgrading the furniture, the family needs some more cash, so Diana is off collecting.

I decided to have Diana get pregnant again right away instead of waiting cause I ONLY NEED ONE MORE BOY!!!

Beep: “I love homework!”
Blaire: “Then you’re crazier than any of our officially insane siblings.”

It’s birthday time for the quads!

Bree adds Loves to Swim to Insane, Athletic, Brave, and Loves the Outdoors.

Banana is now a Green Thumb which joins Good, Light Sleeper, Loves the Heat, and Clumsy.

Brighton becomes Perceptive to go with Insane, Light Sleeper, Easily Impressed, and Excitable.

Bryce adds Irresistible to Insane, Unstable, No Sense of Humor, and Hates the Outdoors.

The four of them get portraits started, and then they move out! (I can’t believe I got all four of them waving at the same time)

It is so strange to be down to only three teens.

Hades: “I BETTER NOT GET PREGNANT BECAUSE OF THIS!!”

Luckily Hades does not end up being pregnant.

I don’t often get two toddlers using the doll house together. It’s pretty cute.

Blaze: “I’m just going to take this!”
Blaine: “But. But. But. WAHHHHHHHH!!!!”
And now he’s crying.
Blaze: “Isn’t it wonderful?”

Blake: “I’m not on idiot, and not a loser. I’ll show them all.”

Diana: “Can no one clean up after themselves!?”

Beep: “I may have made a mistake.”

Paper Boy: “Hello kitty.”
Oh no, I can’t see this ending well.

Seriously??? Every time one of my sims tries to befriend a raccoon it ends poorly, but the paper kid gets it on the first shot!!!

Baby time! Hopefully this really is the last pregnancy.

Oh look, I finally got around to buying this family a computer.

YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! Meet Beetle, he’s Hydrophobic and Clumsy. He also has a twin sister Blip, she’s Hydrophobic and a Slob.

Diana: “Finally no more pregnancies, and now I have enough children to rule the world!!!”
You still have to raise them. The challenge isn’t done till Beetle becomes a young adult.

Seriously, the family gets a computer and the first thing you do is play chess?
Beep: “It’s not like we have a chess table.”

Birthday time, this is Bleet.

Here’s Billie.

And Brett ends up being the first boy to get white hair!

These two have lots of toddler training to get through.

Luckily they’ll soon have two less toddlers to deal with.

Blaine is now a Supernatural Fan.

And Bass, who I’m just now realizing is so much paler than the rest of her siblings, becomes a Loser.

You do realize I got those for Hades to do portraits on?
Bass: “It’s not like Dad’s using them right now.”

Blaine then dances like every fairy in this family seems to.

Blaze: “Ah yes! I’m going to have so much more free time now!”

Blaze: “And I didn’t even end up singed like that idiot Bryce.”

And that’s all for now folks, see you next time!

Welcome back to the Cordell Baby Boom! Last time there was a gift giving party that went sideways, several birthdays (as usual), and Diana popped out a boy (with a twin sister), so now only two more boys are needed! Man I’m really behind in posting this stuff, I finished playing this challenge back in February.

We come back to Diana dancing away.
Diana: “I’m almost done popping out children, as far as I’m concerned that’s a reason to celebrate!”

Ah yes, the two disappointments. At least they’re progressing in their skills… I think the one on the left is Boop and the other one is Beep, but I can’t be certain.

Hades: “Ah peace and quiet.”
Are you hiding in one of your children’s bedroom for a reason?
Hades: “Peace and quiet.”
Until their home from school.
Hades: “Oh… I didn’t think of that.”

The homework brigade descends, look at all those fairy wings. For some reason the fairies in this family largely outnumber the witches.

Geez, when did Diana have time to perfect that dive, I don’t think I’ve ever seen her in the pool before.
Diana: “It’s called having a natural talent.”

Banana: “The dishwasher is broken.”
Blaze: “Nice going genius.”
Banana: “It’s not my fault this thing breaks ever other week!”

Blaire: “Ha, and no one will ever scold me, you’re the useless disappointments.”
Boop: “NOT NICE!!!!”

Man I have to keep checking these kids names, it’s a good thing I wrote down their favourite colours (and then dressed them in them) otherwise I probably would have to take a random guess. Bryce here is having another unstable fit (though still not as often as Baxter had them).

Bree: “DAMNIT!!”
Seriously, the dishwasher is still broken.
Bree: “Now we’ll have to wash dishes in the bathroom like some random Sims 4 sim.”

This is where I remembered that my two founders here still needed portraits done.
Hades: “At least Diana isn’t stuck trying to figure out how to do a self portrait.”
On the bright side, yours does turn out much better than the one from the Olympia Legacy.

Blake, where’s everyone else? That kitchen table is oddly empty.
Blake: *shrugs* “They weren’t on the school bus.”

I find everyone camped out on the side of the road doing homework.

Even Blaze was there.
Blaze: “Mom wanted some quiet, Blake is just an idiot who didn’t get the memo.”

It wouldn’t be an update without birthdays! It’s time for Buttercup

and Bridget to become young adults!

Hades and Diana still manage to make some time for themselves. I think they’ve really grown to like each other.
Hades: “It’s Stockholm Syndrome.”
She didn’t kidnap you.
Diana: “Don’t worry dear, I totally would kidnap you if I had the opportunity, your cute enough for it.” *winks*
Hades: “SEE Stockholm Syndrome!”
*face palm*

In the middle of birthdays you say? Here’s Bridget, she gains the trait Lucky to go with Loves the Outdoors, Absent-Minded, Athletic, and Bot Fan. Her lifetime wish is Master Acrobat.

Her twin Buttercup adds Brave to Perceptive, Loves the Outdoors, Unlucky, and Great Kisser. I neglected to write down her lifetime wish, so it’s a mystery!

Hades gets started on their portraits, and these two move out!

Diana: “LOOK WHO GOT A JOB!!!”
Betsy: “MOTHER!!!! What are you doing here?”
Diana: “Since when did you work at the consignment store?”
Betsy: “Since yesterday, I have to make money somehow!”
Diana: “You could just become an artist like your father. I don’t approve of any of this ‘real work’ nonsense.”
Betsy: “Yes mother.” *sigh*

Ah yes, I apparently decided to give Bryce a wicker patterned swimsuit when I was designing his outfits. This is what happens you write things months after you’ve played them.

Hades: “MY FACE!”
I think there’s a reason most people slide on their back on these things.
Hades: “It’s a bit late for that!”

Blaire: “Free candy? You shouldn’t have!”
Banana: “What is this one even called?”
Blaire: “Who cares?”
(It’s Bass, and yes, I had to look it up.)

Brighton: “Oh yeah!”
Ah yes the frequent bizarre dancing of fairies, I’m now used to video game obsessed sims.

Um Banana? Last I checked you weren’t insane, so why are you in your outwear instead of a swimsuit?
Banana: “It’s cold out.”
So why are you on the waterslide????

Blaze: “Godzilla is coming to eat your eyeballs!”
Brighton: “NOT MY EYEBALLS!”

Diana: “This toilet is nasty, do I have to set things on fire around here to get people to clean?!”
Um, I think that would just add to the mess.
Diana: “But it would make me feel better!”

Oh look, I replaced the couches with nicer ones.
Diana: “It’s about time too.”

There’s quite the collection of gnomes kicking around, they even have their own graveyard.

Um Blaze? Why didn’t you take the bus?
Blaze: “And be associated with those losers, no way!”
Everyone knows your related, Cordell’s make up the majority of the school population.

Blaze: “And I still managed to beat that idiot home.”
Blake: “I wasn’t the one driving!”

Blaire: “Candy for me!”
Geez Blaire, your a menace to babies and toddlers.
Blaire: “Someone has to be.”

Birthday time for the babies! This is Blaine, the latest boy.

And his twin sister Bass.

Oh, it looks like I upgraded the tv too.
Blaze: “Yeah, about time. We’ve had the other one for ages.”

Blaze: “YOU’RE A LOSER!!!”
Blake: “NOOOOOOOOO!! … That’s not funny Blaze!”
Blaze: “You just have no sense of humor.”

Ah yes, new toddlers means toddler training.

Hades and Diana each tackle a toddler.

And it’s time for more babies! Hopefully we get some boys, if all goes well this could be the last pregnancy! (Only two more boys are needed).

Bryce: “The power of magic is mine!”
Brighton: “Cheater.”
Bryce: “Your just jealous.”
Blaire: “Both of you shut up or I’ll stuff my homework down your throats! I don’t care what the teacher’s will say.”

Bryce: “This may have not gone as planned.”
Blaire: “Good for you.”
Brighton: “Vengeance is mine!”

At of all the teens in the house Bryce seems to like the tots the best, he’s always playing and taking care of them autonomously.

Diana: “I’m so over this baby thing.”
Blaire: “That’s why I’m never having children.”

Birthday time for the disappointments! You don’t get to see their makeovers until the next morning.

Until then you can enjoy Bryce making good use of his friend, the paper bag!

And Brighton swimming in inappropriate outfits!

Ah here’s Boop, she is now a Slob.

Blaire: “Could you try eating without getting food everywhere?”
Boop: *Ignoring Blaire*

Who forgot that they had a garden? *raises hand* Cause I sure did. At least it’s not dead yet.

And here’s Beep who is now Brave.

Blaire: “Why do you have to be such a brat?”
Blaze: “It’s not my fault you’re stuck up!”
You would think the two Evil sims would get along.

Boop: “I don’t get what all the fuss about dirty dishes is, they still got plenty of food on em.”
Blaire: “That’s cause you’re incompetent.”

Good luck building muscles Bree, Hades is still just as much of a stick as he was when he started using that thing.

Hades: “I’m not that bad!”
Shouldn’t you be concerned about your daughter passed out on the floor?
Hades: “I’m sure she’s fine.”

Blaze: “Hey dofus! Can I come up?”

Blake: “ONLY IF YOU APOLOGIZE!”

Blake: “I’m waiting!”

Blaze: “I’m sorry alright, I’m sorry or being mean to you.”
Blake: “You can up now then!”

And that’s all for now folks! Next time we get to see if Diana really is on her last pregnancy.
