Cookie cut

October, Fall 2015, Tosha Snapple is 39, Xander is 42, Tito and Bryce are both 5, and Donika is 1. Last update Winter 2010.

Narrated by Tosha

Time has really flown by. The boys are already in kindergarten. They didn't make the birthday deadline to start pre-k, so them starting school last month has truly hit me hard. And soon, Donika will be joining them. It seems as if they grow up so fast. I don't want to miss a thing with any of them.

And Xander is so busy at work. He quite his research job at the science lab at the hospital, because it was taking up so much of his time. He is now working as a C.S.I., but that too seems to consume so much of his time. I worry that he will miss out on many of the children's major life events.

But even with his heavy workload, and the kids taking much of my free time, I try to put some aside for my sister. WE hardly get to see each other now that I'm no longer working at her boutique. We make plans to try and start a play date not only for us, but also our little ones.

Then there's Mister Tinkles. I have no idea what's gotten into him! He's never tried to eat our food before. But now, he tries every chance he gets. But I think I understand why he's acting out. With the boys starting school, and taking a lot of my time with studying, not to mention, teaching Donika to walk. He hasn't gotten the attention that he's used to.



Photobucket

But I can't endorse his behavior, or ignore it either. I don't like to discipline him, but he has to learn his place. No one likes cat fur in the meal.



Photobucket

Once the twins get further into the year things will slow down, and they will make time for Mister Tinkles once again.



Photobucket

Donika has a new cuddly friend, a fuzzy frog that her dad gave her. She refuses to put it down, not even to cuddle with Mister Tinkles.



Photobucket

Though Bryce is super shy he's managed to make a new friend. She's a few years older than him, and I worry about the kind of influence she'll have over him. Maybe I'll encourage him to make friends closer to his own age.



Photobucket

I'm just as worried about Tito and the influences he's getting at school too! He just up and decided to nail Bryce in the face with some pasta over dinner.



Photobucket

The poor boy was so taken aback, he wasn't sure how to react.



Photobucket

But in the end he was not pleased. In fact, he was livid! He refused to talk to his brother for the rest of the night.



Photobucket

Tito got a good chewing out from his father too. I'm pretty sure that he will not try that food throwing stunt ever again. That is not acceptable behavior.



Photobucket

Xander has been working hard like he always has. And contrary to popular belief, he enjoys working. He has always worked hard even though he is a trust fund baby, his father and mother, ensured in him the ethics of hard work. And we enjoy the fruits of his labors. Like his most recent promotion to CSI level 3. Basically, he's the head supervisor of the lab!



Photobucket

He called a sitter and took me out for a celebration. It was great! We played a few games.



Photobucket

Drank a few drinks.



Photobucket

And just enjoyed each others company! Something that we haven't done is a very long time. Xander promised to do this more often, and I'm looking forward to it.



Photobucket

But until then, he's back to the rat race, and I'm back to being super mom.

I think this pic will make more sense once you read the Traveller update that will be posted soon. I actually played Trisha and Trant, and Sofia before I played the Snapple house. I find it fitting that she would come home with Brcye though. LOL

Warning, Donika spam!


Photobucket

Seriously, just how cute is she? OMG! I love her!



Photobucket

I can't wait to see how she and who she looks like as she gets older!



Photobucket

And Mr. Tinkles as never eaten sim food before. So this is new! Tosha has never trained him not to eat food, but there was never a need to. But I look at his acting out is due to lack of attention from everyone at home.

I never have anything juicy to update this house with. They are so cookie cutter it makes me sick. LOL Maybe things will change once the boys hit their teen years. But at least I had something to update with this time around.

  1. Aww, cats eating people food. Thankfully that doesn't happen too often in my house. I couldn't help laughing at the conversation outside, I am anxious to know what's going on now. Also, I never seen an adverse reaction to the food fight interaction, I didn't know it existed :)

  2. Starr,I've never had a cat eat sim food before, so that was a new one for me! I've had maybe three sims react negatively to the toss food interaction. But Bryce and Tito are BFFs so I have no idea why he was so mad. LOL

    Thanks for taking the time to read and comment! Means a lot!

  3. LOL! I've seen cats eat Sim food before but not very often and I don't think I've seen it in Sullivan. The food fight rejection is completely new to me though. I'll have to see if I can force that with debugsocial.

    You'll probably be sorry you wished for drama once the boys hit their teens! I bet they'll provide plenty. ;)

  4. I agree with Carla. I bet those boys and even Donika will be adding some drama in a few years! I do think Donika looks like her Mom, just with her dads coloring. Will have to see as she ages up more!

    I was worried about their relationship, but I was glad to see Xander take time to go out and have some fun with her. I haven had a cat do that in ages ether! Irl my cats think our dining table is the perfect place to nap. It's driving me up a freaking wall! I wish scoldingthem did a thing. They do not care at all. And there's not even sun in that room! I think EA made cats too easy to train!
    Do you mind if I ask wcif Donikas cute coat? It's super cute!

  5. Carla, That is the first time I've seen cats or dogs eat sim food, beside when they whine and the master tosses them food. So it was cute. :) I know I'll eat my words it. But so far my new set of teens are behaving, so I'm thinking maybe Bryce and Tito will too!

    Maisie, Now that you point it out, she does look like her mom. I hadn't noticed until now! But I think you and Carla are right. They just might be Hell on Wheels. LOL

    Xander and Tosha are getting their relationship back on track. I just think they lost touch a little with her caring for the kids and he with his work.

    That's so cute with your cats. But I know if I still had my kitty and she slept on our table it would drive me nuts as well. So you are not alone!

    Thanks for taking the time to read and comment guys! It means a lot to me!
