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!
