The Bauers: Round 3 / The Complete Family

Cassandra thinks if she stares at her long enough, Charity will get off the computer and give her a turn. Not likely.



These bags of money are great, but I wish the Genie would drop all the cash in one lump sum and be done instead of putting us on the random payment plan.



It's Cassandra's birthday, and she just can't wait to be a teenager. Scott would like to eat his soup first. Hey honey, could you scoot your bowl away from the cake? You're messing up the frosting.



She's all grown up now. What does Cassandra want the most from life?

Cassandra wants friends, and she is a very social person in real life as well.



With 3 bolts of attraction, our simselves can't leave each other alone when left to our own devices.



Cassandra gets that wish we saved for her. Since she is a teen, I think she wished for beauty.



And then she found a cat. No, you did not get a cat from the Genie - I know better.



He is cute, though. Bye Kitty!



This is better than a cat, right? Cassandra went down to Game S'more where the sims of Apple Grove always go to buy their cellphones.



When she came back home, Scott and I were lying on the grass looking at the stars. We did do that one time when there was a meteor shower.



Scott's simself loves chili just like his real self does. When left to feed himself, his simself likes to cook up a batch of it for lunch.



My fake extra daughter Amiee has improved in looks. However, I discovered there is something about her... well it's not really something wrong with her exactly. You'll see what I'm talking about as I play other houses.



Scott has earned his hobby plaque for science. Good job, Schmoopy!



Cassandra is helpful just like she always is, although it's odd to see her caring for Jason (her big brother in real life).

*Note, it took a long time for me to notice that there is no birth photo for Jason that I can find, so this is the first picture of him in the story.  It doesn't help that all the Bauer babies looked basically alike.  Hopefully I will find them someday on my computer, but there are just so many pictures.  I probably dragged them into a wrong folder somewhere.



I'm a little more coordinated on the treadmill than this, although I pretend I don't own one 99% of the time.



Yes, I am fit now. I wish it were this easy in real life.



Scott has been promoted to Scholar. He is getting closer to his LTW of becoming a mad scientist.



It's Jason's birthday. Time to celebrate!



Fly Jason, fly!



Awww... cute kid.



Jason learned to walk, but I really didn't have to teach him in real life. One day at 10 months he just came running out from behind our couch - clapping his hands.



He also loved blocks. He would get very angry if someone moved his blocks.



Now we are sad to be getting the falling money because it's messing up our lives by making time almost stand still. That's why the carpool driver is hoofing it, and why everyone else is standing around in the front yard.



And the money caused Nanny Genesis to show up even though she wasn't needed and is not the regular nanny. Was she hoping for a large tip?



Scott is very, very happy to be a Top Secret Researcher. He's so happy he wants the whole neighborhood to know. Honey, it's supposed to be Top Secret, remember? Shhh....



It's her birthday and Charity would like to blow out her candles now, but everyone is busy doing other stuff.



She finally has our attention for a moment...



And then our minds and bodies wander again...



And Charity grows into a beautiful teen before we know it.

Charity wants to be popular like her big sister. In real life, she is more interested in knowledge. In real life I think my dice really like to roll 5's. Crap.

You know what time it is? It's time to send Cassandra and Charity to college.



It looks like Scott took Cassandra to college.



And Charity followed them in a cab, which really doesn't make much sense.



Meanwhile, my belly is popping out like a toaster pastry. Actually, my simself was always craving toaster pastries. My real self craved chili dogs, nachos and macaroni salad when I was pregnant.



It's already time for Jason's birthday.



And he looks cute in his duckie pajamas, but is in serious need of a haircut.

That's better. Jason has never had long hair.



I see his daytime spying has actually earned him his maximum logic skills. Should I say good job or should I scold him?

Whoa! Now that's a surprise! Although it's not an unwelcome surprise as long as they are both boys.



Welcome baby Ian! Scott looks happy.



Ian is my 4th child and 2nd boy in real life.



Time for the next twin... please be a boy! I don't want any more fake daughters.



Yes! Welcome baby Christopher! Yay! Christopher is my 5th child and 3rd boy. The Bauer family is now complete!

Scoring: 1 point for Scott's Science plaque, 2 points for Cassandra and Charity going to college, and 2 points for 2 new babies - Ian and Christopher. The total population of Apple Grove is now 28. The current population is 27.
