Too Early to Think of a Title

The coffee hasn't kicked in yet, so forgive me.

First of all, I promised a good toddler pic of Carwin.

Such a cutie!

 

He is cute & barely ever throws a tantrum. Or did; he's a child now.

 

 

So, I'll update the gift list for Nikia first. She gets a lot of fridges... I'm running out of places to put them.

 

She also received 2 admirer gifts from Wylie.

Aw, he wuvs her.

Nikia is so cool she gets celebrity points in her sleep!

Nikia earned her 3rd star. I'll tell you what, this is the hardest time I'm ever had getting stars! Usually it just happens & I resign myself to the papas & disgrace. The one time I want it, it's nearly impossible!



Lillian finished Scouting.

 

Rebecca is a great big sis.

And she went to her first prom.

She had a great time, got into a fight & remains single.

Lillian decided to enjoy Spooky Day to the fullest.

She decided to go Trick or Treating first, then went off to the Festival.

Picked some wildflowers to give to her mom, auntie & cousin.

Then explored the Spooky House.

"Psssh. That wasn't so spooky..."

 



Then it was time to go back home for Aunt Nikia's costume party.

 

I've been trying not to invite so many people to her parties since the bulk of the attendees were standing out front. I pretty much sort by stars & go from there. I mean, the woman is up to 64 friends. You gotta draw the line somewhere.

 

The party was largely uneventful. However, I did learn one thing:

 

In the battle of Tiger vs Cow-Plant...

 

Tiger wins.

The next party was a biggie: Lillian's birthday!

I wonder what she's gonna wish for??

 

Lillian as a teen.

 

Not bad, hm? And she actually smiles as a teen. Not that weird, constipated face she made as a child. However, she is still very stoic.

 

And, it so happened that her birthday fell on a prom night!

 

And it was there that she fell in love with Ellis Lee. Now, usually the prom romance things are a pain, but those two make a good pair. He's artistic & virtuoso, but a bit neurotic. She's artsy as well, but brave & pretty much unafraid of anything. That combo makes me smile.

And perfect since the next gen is a couple & I decided a while ago that Lillian would be my heir.

 

I guess seeing her baby grow up & go off to prom depressed Janet because as soon as Lillian left she went straight to the bar & started drinking.

That weekend Lillian & Rachel decided to head out to watch a movie. They met up with Ellis Lee there & dragged him along (as if he was going to argue).

Then they went to the restaurant to have some dinner.

 

The girls decided karaoke was next.

Rachel was getting tired, so she headed home leaving Lillian & Ellis to their own devices.

Aw. Lillian is totally taken by Ellis & I think he feels the same way. Unfortunately she lost track of the time & the police ripped her away from her Romeo right after their first kiss.

I doubt she regrets anything.

Janet was unimpressed & grounded Lillian.

But Lillian isn't about to be contained... (and, you know, school is kinda important).

Lillian did apologize & helped with chores so was forgiven pretty quickly. Janet isn't the type to hold a grudge.

Once the shackles were off Lillian called Ellis & asked him out again. He readily agreed to meet her at the cinema.

They watched the stars, talked about art & just enjoyed the evening... Unfortunately they lost track of time again & Lillian got in trouble. Grounded again.

Meanwhile, I was so caught up in all this I forgot Carwin's birthday!

He seemed upset. I felt terrible.

Gave him a great makeover & promised a big party the next day. He seemed okay with that.

 

And guess who Lillian invited to the party...

Hey, just because she's grounded doesn't mean he can't come to her, right?
