I think I'll pass on the tea and offer a post with lots of pictures instead.
I want you guys to know you had me laughing which is good because reinstalling 13 games is frustrating as all get out.
One goes in...
Artie: "Well hey baby. I didn't know you were haunting us tonight."
..And one comes out.
Christin: -poofs away-
Rica: "Wow §6000 for that one portrait. I should get you to paint with masterpieces in the background more often."
Dakota: "It being a picture of my husband helps."
Rica: "Oh is that it? hrm. Well we can at least try to get one close for Apollo's toddler portrait. Right?"
Dakota: "Maybe his child birthday since that's in two days."
Rica: "Fine. We'll keep the masterpiece we already have."
Artie: "What arrre you doing?"
Bubba: "You're mine."
Artie: "Ok. but why?"
Rica: "Because he had the wish to mark you. I know it's weird. Who would want you?"
Artie: "That's not very nice. The kid can hear you, you know. You're going to teach him bad habits, dear."
Rica: -raspberries-
Rica: "This is one way to get some playtime in with your kids. "
Adrianna: "This is the best way to get playtime in with your kids. And the flying monkey man flew over the damsel's house to catch the robber."
Apollo: "I'll be the wobber!"
Rica: "You're not supposed to grow up this fast. There is so much more left to do!"
Tama: "Don't worry Rica. I'll be with you a long time yet and I need new gloves."
Rica: "Oh ok. I guess if you need new gloves then you can blow out the candles."
Eloy Johnston: "Wow. You're a hottie."
Artie: "Hey buddy - don't make me fire you.!"
Rica: "You are stunning even without your gloves. I like the hair."
Tama: "I think I do too."
Ares: "You look just like your mother but with your grandmother's hair."
Dakota: "She does doesn't she?"
Jules: -sniffles- "Ma petite is not so petite anymore."
Rica: What's a good party wihout someone dying? I don't even remember who this chick is but I don't think she was very close to the family or I'd remember.
We decided to keep the hair and try on some new gloves that weren't as long maybe by the time she's an elder I can get her to go without them.
Tama: "Not likely."
Rosemary: "Nakisha - I just wanted to tell you that I think you've been the best maid we've had since I moved in. So I thought I would introduce you to my good friend Ramon Koehler. In fact, I think you'll like him so why not just walk over there and put a big wet one right on his lips."
Nakisha: "If you think it will work, Ok."
Rica: "Our little match maker."
Rosemary: "What? I've noticed that there are three kids in school with Tama and all three are here and one is already an adult."
Rosemary: "So you see, it's like an epidemic. Everyone is going Showtime crazy around here. I had to beg my boyfriend not to give up his paparazzi job to become a performer. If he did that, I don't think I'd ever see him."
Reaper: "So Artie had to leave for work huh?"
Adrianna: "It's after midnight so that means it's your turn at the cake now, little man."
Apollo: "Yay! I love cake."
Adrianna: "Who doesn't?"
Rica: "Well hello cheeks! Check you out handsome."
Adrianna: "You look like your father but you definitely have my shape."
Rica: "That's ok. I think he'll still be a hottie. He's a Grim!"
Apollo: "Whee sparkles. Can I go play on the rocket?"
Adrianna: "No. We need to put away the cake, get you new clothes and go to bed."
Apollo: "Aww man."
Rica: "You don't have school later today so it's ok to play the rocket while everyone is away from the house."
Apollo: "Cool! Let's go to bed then."
He's just so darned cute with his full little cheeks.
Dakota: -stops working on the child portrait for Apollo- "Yay.. Whoo!"
Rica: "What's going on over here? Oh crud. I forgot to get another birthday cake. I'm sorry!"
Dakota: "It's ok. I don't really want anyone to see me get wrinkles anyway."
Rica: "I could call everyone else in real quick."
Dakota: "No it's fine. This way I can change my clothes without anyone being in the way."
Rica: "It is a smallish room."
Dakota: "Oh. Now I am glad no one was here to see this. I've never felt so... baggy before."
Rica: "I think you'll get used to it. Plus that's what the exercise machines are for right?"
Dakota: "If you say so."
Rica: "I think you still look beautiful, darling and I bet there's a man hanging outside that would feel the same way. Maybe you should go sugar lump him or something."
Dakota: "You know what. I think I will."
Christin: "No Artie. It's not going to be that easy for you, Mr. The fireflies have been telling me all the things you've been doing?"
Artie: -inside tent- "That's not possible. I don't even know all the things I've been doing!"
Rica: I can't decide if I feel bad and should feel guilty for laughing or just keep laughing.
