I actually forgot that Ethel had a twin. Sorry Mary! You have been abandoned by your Watcher because your name isn't quite weird enough :P

Ooops. Poor Mary. She's just too well behaved to get any attention with this family!

Babies, Toddlers, Children, Teens



Pillow-fighting is a new obsession of Mary and Ethel's. If they're not beating each other up with pillows then they're asleep or at school. It keeps them out of trouble.



It's what they're doing when Daniel starts becoming old.

Daniel: Wooo! Yayyyy! Birthdayyyy! Hey, wait, why am I cheering? I'm getting old.

Mary: Can you get older than you are already, Dad?



Daniel: Ow.

Ethel: Wow, now you're really, really old Dad!

Daniel: Not helping. Not helping at all.



And because the CrumpleSteels don't believe in doing only one thing at a time to keep it nice and simple for me, Gabrielle promptly goes into labour.

Gabrielle: Ow ow ow ow ow *puffs*

Ethel: Mummy! Are you going to die?!

Gabrielle: Daniel, can you amuse the kids?

Daniel: I'm looking at my wrinkles, you do it.

Gabrielle: I'M GIVING BIRTH!



Here he is as an elder. Eyes shut and avoiding the reality of being old.



Iris: Quick, good steed! The sharks are after us, we must away!



Meet baby Margaret. Who will from now on be known to everyone as Peggy.

Forum: Hi Peggy!



Gabrielle: And this one's called Josephine. Josie for short.

That's the same baby.

Gabrielle: I think I know how many babies I've just given birth to. Besides, it's quite clearly Josie.

They all look the same to me.

Daniel: And me.



Gabrielle: See, this is Peggy.

Daniel: Are you sure?

Gabrielle: Someone get them in the same screenshot so you'll all believe me!



Sorry, we've got a birthday to go to. Iris is going to leave her child years behind (which mostly means less time spent on her rocking-horse) and enter teenager-dom.

Daniel: I've got my shotgun ready.



Iris: The Sharkles are attacking!

Sparkles.

Iris: Sparkles are baby Sharkles!

Gabrielle: My daughter is mad, isn't she?



Iris: No. She's not.

She's talking about you.

Iris: We know that. We're not stupid.

Gabrielle: I take that back. She's bonkers.



But she's very pretty. She's gained the flirty trait and really does look quite a lot like Gabrielle I think. Except inheriting Daniel's extreme skinniness.



Daniel: It's okay baby. Don't cry. Daddy knows which twin you are. Honest he does. You're... Peggy?

Gabrielle: Josie.

Daniel: I should have used my fifty-fifty.



Mary loves pillow-fighting so much she's fighting the air.



And here's the compulsory cute toddler shot of the chapter.



Next Chapter on the CrumpleSteels: Egypt, and will Daniel ever work out which twin is which?

Josephine.....I love that name. I might even consider using it in my dynasty.

Anyway, Iris is beautiful. She looks a little like Kelsey.

Great update!  ;D

It's one of my favourites too. When she aged up with it I had to keep it, partly because I love it so much but partly because it's so rare they age up with a nice one or one that fits their personality. And normally a ridiculous outfit to go with it!

It's the name of a work colleague of mine, who is lovely. Definitely use it! And thanks Corey.

Daniel is a very distinguished looking elder. Poor old guy dealing with a whole lot of youngsters! At least they're adorable youngsters. :)

If Iris's looks are anything to go by, we are in for an absolute treat! Mary, Ethel (love Ethel), Albert, Margaret and Josie... the list is rather long... hehehe!
Daniel is a sweetie and still looking good. He's going to need extra vitamins, though, to keep the Sharkles at bay!  ;D

I've just caught up with this generation. Ethel reminds me of Wednesday Addams for some reason. Great story as always :)

She's really gorgeous, and quite different-looking for an eighth generation. I always really like it when you can see more than one parent in a sim child.

She grew up really lovely! And that bit about Sharkles, lol. Bonkers indeed, that was almost scary! Gollum much?

I hadn't thought about Gollum, but I sort of see it now... I love insane sims though.

Daniel is a very distinguished looking elder. Poor old guy dealing with a whole lot of youngsters! At least they're adorable youngsters. :)

I know, he's an elder and he still has two babies and a toddler to be looking after! I thought old age was meant to be a time of relaxation and doing what you want to...

If Iris's looks are anything to go by, we are in for an absolute treat! Mary, Ethel (love Ethel), Albert, Margaret and Josie... the list is rather long... hehehe!

Haha, yes, the list is very long. It won't be getting any longer though, the house is full and Gabrielle ages up to elder about a week after Daniel. Vitamins as a cure for Sharkles? You'll have to ask Iris about that!

Yeah, she's a little bit Addams family. In hopefully a good way. Thanks!

Sun, Sand, and Pushable Statues



Daniel and Iris have taken a trip to Egypt, in the hope it'll make the photography challenges slightly more achievable. The last time Daniel travelled there was a meteor, let's hope there isn't this time.

Daniel: I'm not sure I'm comfortable with my little girl being out in public with her nightie on.



Is a swimming costume better for him? Somehow I doubt it.

Iris: It's hot.

There's also no swimming pool in sight.

Iris: Social conventions of what to wear are boring.



Daniel settles down to read a book.

Random Egyptian: Oooh, that looks interesting?

Daniel: It's rude to read over someone else's shoulder.



And then Iris persuades him to go adventuring. Because yes, taking your elder and neurotic father into a tomb is really an amazing idea.

Daniel: No it's not.

Iris: Sarcasm, Dad. Even the sharks understand sarcasm.

Daniel: Glad to hear it. I'm fairly sure there's sharks down there, come to think of it.

Iris: Don't be silly. Everyone knows sharks can't climb stairs.

They said that about the Daleks too.



A bit of box-opening happens.

Daniel: Oh my god oh my god oh my god...oh. It's only some ancient coins.



Iris: Open! Now! I demand you!



Daniel: Why do I get all the worst jobs?

Iris: Don't you love me, Daddy?

Daniel: Oh course I do, but...

Iris: Push then!



They've solved the tomb, with not a few arguments along the way.

Iris: They were more like debates.



She also spends some time scootering it around to get pictures of cool landmarks. I didn't realise how long it takes to get around Egypt before this. I need to travel more.

Iris: I don't. There's too much Outside. Sharks can get you Outside.



Look at the gorgeous scenery though.

Iris: I'd rather look at it from indoors, thanks.



How can you not appreciate it? Really Iris.



Iris: I think there's a shark in my ear. I think it's telling me I shouldn't be having to take photos of plants.

You do. Get on with it.

Iris: Whhhyyyy.

Because it's a DecaDynasty, and you do what I say.

Iris: Whhhyyyy.

Are you seven?



Iris: I'm glad to be home.



And life has continued as normal while they were away. Here's a singed Mary to prove it.

Mary: Why do you only pay attention to me at the worst moments in time?



Daniel: Hey there Peggy, did you miss your daddy?

Gabrielle: You got it right, well done!

Daniel: Always the tone of surprise.



Gabrielle's taken to playing a game in her underwear.

Gabrielle: I don't have time to get dressed with this many children.



Gabrielle: Still haven't.

Iris, stop complaining. The watcher always gets their way. And outdoors is actually okay, even if there are no computers outside, it can be ok.

Yes, if Daleks can climb stairs, why not sharks?

Daniel reads so much, he reminds me of Ben.
