Week 3. Year 1. Dillenger.

Welcome back to the Dillenger household!

I'm going to start doing re-caps since the number of households is about to boom.

Last time Darcy and Grayson started the week with the birth of the twins, Dahlia and Damion, which meant Diana was no longer an only child. They also opened up another business Dress Em' Up (which we won't see this chapter), and decided to tie the knot. Lastly, they had another baby named Drake, and Darcy was pregnant again before the end of the week.

That's four kids currently in the house with another on the way.

Here we see Darcy playing with her youngest, Drake.

Grayson is getting pretty high up in the music career!

Diana, our oldest, is happy to be home from school.

Somebody brought home Farah (she's a favorite among the children of Serenity)

Briar was there too! She was more interested in the ballet bar than the other kids though.

Damion hopped on the canvas. I like it when the kids skill themselves up!

The girls chit-chat over school stuff. I was surprised when I saw that they weren't even friends. But Diana is pretty solitary, so maybe it's not that surprising.

I think Drake is so cute. He looks a lot like Grayson, but with blonde hair. It's freaking adorable <3

And both parents adore him. Here is Darcy making sure he gets a little lovin' before he ages up.

He doesn't seem happy to be growing up does he?

Happy Birthday anyways buddy!

I meant to get a picture of Drake's new room, but I got distracted by all the kids running crazily around in there.

Me and Darcy were thoroughly amused!

Another promotion!

Baby time!

It's a girl! Her name is Dottie and she has her father's black hair and her mother's purple eyes.

Darcy is showing off her post-pregnancy body. Save the picture, as a not pregnant Darcy is a rare creature. Like a leprechaun.

As I've said, Diana is a very solitary child. She spends a lot of her time in her room playing the violin. She has maxed creativity all on her own.

And guess what? It's her birthday!

Yeah, we knew you'd be cute.

I was a little shocked at what she rolled. She is a Popularity/Romance sim with a want to woohoo 20 sims.

Whelp Diana, you're going to have to get over your shyness honey.

Drake celebrates with the smustle.

Diana got a new look.

No more babies guys! Please!

Diana brought this guy home, but didn't have any bolts with him.

So she called her old friend Charles Crawford over! They only had one bolt, but I think he'll do fine for Diana's first kiss.

Romantic montage?

And Diana got what she wanted! I doubt they'll do anything serious in the future, but I do think they look sweet together.

Darcy got promoted! I think she's only a couple promotions away from topping her career and unlocking Dance for everyone!

Diana does end up being friends with this guy. I think his name was Sullivan? Or something?

It's Dottie's birthday!

She...looks just like Dahlia. She's not a clone, because she has purple eyes and Dahlia has green, but dang they could be twins.

Charles had a good time on his date with Diana, he left a telescope!

Dad got Dottie all radioactive and changed her hair. Now she's good to go!

Somebody brought Chance Crawford home.

And Briar Rose, but she is still more interested in that dang ballet bar than the friend that brought her home. Poor Drake!

So the twins are aging up soon and they both wanted a puppy.

So we adopted little Roo!

With the twins happily platinum it's time for birthdays.

First up Damion.

Yes yes, very strong.

He rolled Knowledge/Fortune with an LTW of becoming a Hall of Famer.

The athletic career is still locked, but probably not for too much longer :)

And now Dahlia!

Nice outfit.

She rolled Popularity/Knowledge with an LTW to max seven skills. Totally doable!

Damion really likes Roo.

And so does Dottie! Not sure how Roo feels though.

This is how Dahlia spends most of her time now.

Damion was spying on the Apple household and Alice came over to give him what-for.

I don't think she knows that Damion is a mean little snot and he pushes back!

Drake however, is a sweetie! Giving dad a hug as soon as he gets home!

The next night Grayson tops the Music career and is now a Rock God!

Maybe now he'll have some free time to work off that gut.

Diana manages to pull herself away from her violin to try something different. I wouldn't hate it if she got abducted!

I feel kind of bad for Dottie, she didn't get a whole lot of attention. Her parents were either skilling for their jobs or at their jobs and the other kids didn't really take an interest in her.

It's ok Dottie, I love you.

Dad does come through at the end to teach her her last skill (walking) before her birthday.

Happy Birthday kiddo!

All these kids do look very similar (except Diana of course, having a different father and all).

JUST AS I'M LEAVING THE LOT I SEE THIS!

Oh well. At least it won't surprise me when I come back next week.
