They are part of a venue in the store.  The Tiny Prodigies Early Learning Center.

The playpen will hold up to two toddlers.  They can learn to talk, logic and charisma from it.  It also keeps all of their needs at full.  So at bedtime, I manually reduce their energy so they sleep.

The walker allows them learn to walk and they have the option to play in it. 

When you have multiple toddlers, these two items will save your sanity. :D

Okay! I don't think I have any simpoints though :( I will have to try and get some soon! The login to the store is taking forever and then wont load so I'm not sure if I have some or not. Thanks though! ;D

Dear Friend,

Having two pregnant women in the house was plain awful.

The hormones and cravings were enough to drive you insane.

Lucas is here with me writing the letter and he couldn't agree more.

Margaret spent most of her time at that darn oven making her new and latest craving which most of the time was grilled cheese, but when Lucas brought up the fact that she ate a lot of grilled cheese she snapped at him and then ran out of the room crying.



The girls were getting pretty big (PLEASE if you have any heart at all you will NOT tell them we said that! Our lives would end in one stab of a knife...)



I told Sarah she was beautiful almost every hour, but she just shut me down saying that I did this to her and I was being crazy.

She proceeded to potty train Grace because "I wouldn't do it because I didn't care that her back hurt and she can't see her feet!"




Maybe her back wouldn't hurt if she wasn't wearing those heels... Again, please don't tell her that.

The next morning the day that Lucas and I had prayed would come soon came.



"Andrew!" Sarah screamed.

I was sleeping but heard her scream all the way up stairs. I shot downstairs in half dressed and trying to get my shoes on.

Lucas was woken up by Margaret's shriek of pain.




I was freaking out but thankfully this wasn't Lucas' first rodeo and helped me through it.

"THIS IS YOUR FIRST AND LAST BABY YOU HEAR ME ANDREW STEELE!" Sarah screamed in pain.

"Yes dear." I gulped.



"HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME AGAIN?! WE ARE FINISHED LUCAS! DONE WITH KIDS!" Margaret screeched at him.

"I know sweetie." Lucas agreed.



We were off to the hospital to have our children.



Meet Lucy Steele!



And Savannah Moon!



The girls were resting in their beds, the babies were fed and down for the night. Lucas and I just sat on the couch not saying one word. Embracing the quiet and the fact that we wouldn't have to deal with the raging hormones of our wives anymore.

"Never again." Lucas whispered.

"Nope." I agreed.

Love always,

Andrew and Lucas

The babies are here! Welcome Lucy and Savannah!

I may be getting Island Paradise tomorrow! Super excited! ;D

Dear Friend,

Andrew was loving being a father.



I swear he spent most of the time in the nursery with Lucy and Grace!

Grace ended up aging a day later.



We just got a letter in the mail! We won a free vacation! So I guess I have to go pack now!

Love always,

Sarah


Uhh, hi?

Alex here, Aunt Sarah just ran through the house screaming the adults won a free vacation.. So I guess that meant I was left to raise three kids and do school work.



There was a random frozen person when everyone left, I had to thaw her out with a hair dryer.

I also had to hire a babysitter each time I had to go to school, $75 every day the adults were gone! It was a good thing money isn't a huge issue.

Especially since the babysitter was on her phone most of the time...



Then of course Biscuit felt it was necessary to run through the mud because the babysitter wasn't paying attention to the dogs either. I gave him a bath and spend an hour scrubbing floors.



The twins were down for the night, Grace was working on her homework upstairs, and now it was time for me to work on mine.



I had to read this book my english teacher gave me.

Grace was struggling with her homework because she had her first day of school today. Luckily her homework was a lot easier then high school homework.

Grandpa showed up also! He gave me tips about how to handle three young children.



He told me that the adults went away to see if I could handle all this and not throw a party.

"I don't have time to party! I have loads and loads of laundry to do, homework for Grace and I, the twins schedule is crazy, and the dishes are piling up!" I told him.

He laughed, "Yeah, I remember those days. Thankfully your grandmother was a neat freak."

I smiled.

Most people are weirded out by the fact that some ghosts hang around but I thought it was neat that we still got to see our grandparents and loved ones.

Speaking of that laundry...



How many clothes do people wear?!

Grace finished her homework the next day and went to play with dolls.



"How do I work this thing?" I asked.



I pushed random buttons until it started to mix things.

I never knew making dinner was so tough!

It has been the longest two days of my life! I was so tired! I prayed everyone would come home soon.



I got my wish, because in the morning they were all home.

I thanked mom and dad for everything they did, I had a feeling I wasn't going to want children when I grew up... They are a handful.

Well, I'm going to actually have fun now that I don't have a whole household to run!

Love always,

Alex

Poor Alex! He got a taste of what adult life is like!

Dear Friend,

A lot of changes has happened in the last few days...

"Do you think we are doing the right thing?" I asked.

"Sarah, stop worrying." Lucas said.

"Would mom and dad approve? I mean this is big!" I told him.

"Mom and dad would be fine with this decision." He said.

"Okay." I sighed.

"Everything will be okay." He told me leaving.

"Yeah, right, everything will be okay." I told myself.

"Hey! Are we ready to go?!" Andrew asked.

"Yeah, we're ready." I said.

He smiled.

"Do we have everything?" I asked.

"Yep! Lucas and Margaret agreed to take Lucy with them, I have grace and everything she needs. Now we just need you and we're ready." He said rubbing my back.

"I'm ready." I said.

He grabbed my hand and we headed out of the house.

I bet you are wondering what all that was about.

The big decision I had to make was rather to move out of Starlight Shores or not.

I decided that maybe it was time for a change when I was offered a position at the hospital in Isla Paradiso.

We finally arrived (house and all) on an island.



And with a new house on an island, we all got makeovers!

Me:


Margaret:


Alex:


Stefan:


Sophia:


Grace:


Andrew:


Lucas:


Andrew didn't change much, he liked the way he looked. We all were excited for a fresh start though, we were in a new world. A world where we didn't have the deaths of both parents hanging over us, a world where we could make new beginnings for our family and new memories.

The first memory happened to be me learning not to be afraid of water... Because when your house is surrounded by water it is kind of impossible to be afraid of it.

"You're fine!" Andrew said.

"No! No I don't want too." I shrieked getting out of the water.

"Sarah come on!" He groaned.

"You aren't afraid of water!" I told him.

"Sarah, you take showers every day!" He said.

"That is different." I said.

He smiled and held out his hand, "Come on."

I took it slowly and stuck my toes in the water, he yanked my hand pulling me in.

"AHH!! That wasn't fair!" I screamed.

It was a long process, but I was slowly getting over my fear.

I loved going boating though!



I forced myself to go snorkeling, and then almost got hit by another boat!



We celebrated Lucy and Savannah's birthdays the day after the move.

Lucy:


Savannah:


I took a scubba diving lesson at the Science Facility on one of the islands.

So I decided that I would try it!

Even if it was dark out and the was possibly a shark following me.




Well, I am all wet and tired, so I'm going to take a shower and thank my wonderful husband for helping me get over my fear of water.

Love always,

Sarah

I am loving Island Paradise so far! Got it yesterday so I am still exploring! Let me know what you think! :)

Dear Friend,

I yelled at Grace for the first time today.

She skipped school because she didn't feel like going, but I told her that wasn't a good reason to miss school. I sent her to her room to think about what she did. On top of that, Abigail called Stefan and told him it wasn't working out and hung up. He was so upset that she not only broke up with him, but did it over the phone and then hung up before he could say anything. I was so stressed out with trying to keep this family together that I was about to blow. So Lucas took over and Andrew brought me to this resort on one of the islands.



We checked in for a three night stay that lasted the whole entire weekend and we would be back on Monday.

The bugs around here were crazy! I bought some mosquito spray so we didn't suffer.



I randomly got screamed at by some stupid teenage boy



Let's just say Andrew didn't appreciate that too much.





He even made him cry!



I was well protected now by my military husband, and I loved it.



There was a lot of new things to try here at the resort! Like that fancy in pool bar that you see me at.

I really enjoyed the pineapple drink I had later on...



Then there was the famous fire walk they had set up!



My feet hated it, but I got across!



That night I was surprised to be woken up to the door opening, I opened my eyes and saw Grace standing there with her toy.



"Grace!" I gasped.

I stood up.

"What are you doing here?!" I asked.

"I don't want you to be mad mommy." She cried.

"I'm not mad honey." I said.

"Because I love you and I will never ever ever skip school again!" She cried.

"Oh honey I love you too!" I said hugging her.



I put Grace to bed with Andrew, woke him up just to let him know she was here, and let the two of them sleep. I went and enjoyed the last night of our get away in the pool playing in the waterfall.



Tomorrow I returned to my crazy life.

Love always,

Sarah

I had really cute pictures of Grace windsurfing but they disappeared somehow. Let me know what you think! ;D

Lovely update Ally.  Child rearing certain has its ups and downs.  I'm glad things worked out for Grace and Sarah.  I would have loved to see Grace windsurfing though.  ;D

Dear Friend,

I swear I was going to turn into a mermaid if I kept scubba diving as much as I am.



Andrew didn't want me to scubba dive because of sharks and I could die if I was attacked by one. That was a risk I was willing to take though, I mean I was afraid of swimming for most of my life so I had a lot to catch up on.

The girls grew up to be children!

Lucy:



Savannah:



Lucas, Andrew, and I sat down one night and made the decision to hire a butler to stay at the house and help out with meals and cleaning up. So in the morning we hired one and she showed up the next morning.



She was pretty good, I was happy we hired her. It took a lot of stress off of me.

That was until today.

"Andrew, have you seen-"

I stopped in my tracks, they were... hugging.

She was smiling and flirting with him and he wasn't stopping her, or it didn't look like it.



"Mrs. Steele." Joan said.

Andrew whipped around.

"Sarah-"

"HOW COULD YOU!" I screamed.



"Sarah! I'm sorry I didn't mean it! It was harmless flirting!" He said.

"That same "harmless flirting" almost ruined my family Andrew!" I screamed at him.

"It didn't mean anything Mrs. Steele." Joan said.

"How about you go wreck someone else's marriage!" I screamed at her.

"You didn't have to fire her!" Andrew yelled.

"Oh, I didn't?!" I asked.



"I told you it was harmless, it won't happen again!" He yelled.

"MY FATHER CHEATED ON MY MOTHER ANDREW! TWICE!" I screamed.



We were silent for a minute while we glared at each other.

"He told her that it wouldn't happen again too, and then he turned around and he cheated on her again! My family was almost ripped to shreds in a minute and I almost lost my father forever. So I need to know if I made a mistake, because I'll leave and I'll take the children with me." I said my voice shaking.

"Don't do that." He said trying to hug me.

I backed away, "Don't touch me."



"I need to know that you are serious about this, about our marriage, because I took a chance on you. I took a chance because I dreamed of Grace having a father, because I dreamed of having a husband. So I need to know if you are in or out because I can't let the same thing happen to me that happened to mom." I told him.

He stood there for a minute, and I thought he was going to walk away from us.



"I'm in. I'm so totally in that it scares me sometimes. I love you, and I love our girls. I'm sorry I did that to you Sarah, I never wanted you to experience what your mother went through." He said hugging me.

I hugged him back, "Don't ever do it again please, don't ever leave me."

"Never." He said.

He walked into the room where Joan went.

"It's over, you need to pack your things and leave this house. We no longer need your services." He said.




Andrew proved me wrong later that night.

No, calm down he didn't cheat on me twice.

He proved me wrong because he told me mermaids were real. I told him he was absolutely nuts.

I saw one while scubba diving, and he was pretty cute too!



His names was Triton



But, I had this strange feeling that he was the type of guy who would leave a girl stranded on an island while she fought to stay alive and raise his three children.

So I left him floating there to pout and I went home to celebrate Grace's birthday!



She wanted to learn how to go boating, so we bought her a row boat. She loved it!

Well, its time for cake and ice cream so I will write soon!

Love always,

Sarah

Don't ever start watching One Tree Hill on Netflix, it will suck you in and ruin your life! Haha, just kidding it's an awesome show! Anyway, let me know what you think! ;D

Never a dull moment with this family, is there? :P Good that Andrew is in it for the long haul. I'd hate to see the girls without their daddy around.
