The Bell Family- round 2

 

Back in Desiderata Valley at the Bell house- we were here not long ago for Sharon Wirth (Hannah's sister) but now it's back to the main family. Daniel is already in Uni, his younger brother Barty is working on a body skill whilst Mum Hannah cooks dinner.

Speaking of Sharon though, she finally rolled away her fear of commitment so I had her propose to her 3 bolt love Erik!

A garden wedding was set up immediately. Isaac looks smart in his grey suit but I think Daniel must have come straight from a Freshers fancy dress party judging by his choice of outfit and silly hat!

Erik took Sharon's surname and he had brought over 70K to the household so I gave him his money back which enabled he and Sharon to purchase their own Spanish style love nest toward the coastal end of the neighbourhood. We'll see them when we reach 'W' on the list". I can tell you though that Erik is a Fortune Sim with a LTW to be Chief of Staff- he's currently a Professional Party Guest.

I decided to use the Bell's new funds to give Barty a bedroom downstairs (Sharon's old room) and knock through the dining room to have one big kitchen/diner. I also upgraded the bathroom furniture.

On Tuesday after helping Barty with his homework Isaac had a skilling day. Hannah is already top of her career and Isaac hopes to join her next time he has a shift.

Hannah loves cookery and is happy in the kitchen today making a roast dinner.

Isaac wants to get Barty into private school and so the Headmaster is summoned for a visit. It went very well with a score of 127/90 and Barty was accepted.

On Wednesday Barty left for his new school.

and Hannah invited her best friend Pauline and her family over. Edward and Rick Contrary were invited too.

It was a full afternoon and everyone got on well and enjoyed the lunch Hannah made before they said their farewells and Hannah & Isaac left for work.

Isaac has completed his lifetime wish and will have a permanent platinum mood from now on. He's the newest World Class Ballet Dancer.

Two funny things about Barty- although he only has 2 neat points he makes his bed every morning without being asked.

Secondly he loves to chat to the paperkid, and most days keeps the school bus waiting while he does so- he often sprints the last part of the path so the bus doesn't drive off without him!

On Friday Barty brought Rafael Aspir home from school- the kids' are as close as their parents are.

Barty's dad Isaac had installed a little lake in the back yard as Barty often wished to fish.

Isaac brought a friend home from work, Roger Zhang, while Hannah was on her way to repair the computer.

uhoh

Hannah did very quickly have to run to the bathroom but she survived her electrocution!

On Saturday the family went to the Kiddie Care Castle community lot.

It gave Barty an opportunity to meet some new kids and teens and Hannah's friend Juan gave her a big screen tv.

Back at home the living room got a makeover to accommodate the new tv.

While his parents were at work Barty became a teenager- his Nanny was there to cheer him into teenhood.

Barty rolled Fortune and wishes to be a Criminal Mastermind one day.

His room got a teenage makeover.

Still Saturday and after work it was time for two more birthdays. Hannah & Isaac are becoming elders- Hannah had thrown a party of course.

She grew up well having earned her permanent platinum last time.

But then this happened... I forgot the lateness of the hour,

and the cops came and broke up the party- which gave Hannah a 'this party sucked' memory and in the end it was just her and Barty left to watch Isaac grow up.

Thankfully though Isaac also grew up well, if into a very odd looking suit. :D

Still the family aren't ones to wallow and on this summery Sunday they took themselves to a community lot downtown to buy phones, clothes and meet some new people.

Barty was quite taken with Pamela Ternynck and spent ages chatting to her.

Isaac was networked some furniture discounts in the future.

While the guys went for summery looks Hannah stuck to her workout gear, it's all she seems to know. :D

Of course the trip downtown wore out our elders so they took a little nap before it was time for work.

Barty wishes for college of course so got a teen job where he will start next time. He spent the evening at the telescope hoping to see more than stars.

Summary-

A good round for the Bell family, who are growing on me! I decided it was easier to let Sharon have her own story so the rest of the week played nicely without her. 

I'm fairly sure Isaac is spelt Issac in this game but that seems wrong to me and I just can't spell it any other way than with two 'a's. Next time I'll officially change it.

Before then though I'm sticking with the Bell family to see how Daniel's first year of Uni goes.
