Gen. 2: Babies 11 & 12: Keeping Up With the all the Kids!


Evelyn: Sis, look!  I can balance my pencil on my nose!
Liliana: Evie, can you please focus on our homework?  Mom's gonna be mad at us...and we're not going to be able to age up.
Evelyn: Whatever...I don't know why you're so anxious to age up...
Liliana: You actually like being a child?
Evelyn: Yeah, sure...
Liliana: You would...
Evelyn: What's that supposed to mean?
Liliana: You figure it out.


While the girls do their homework, I actually have time for housework...and I'm happy about it...what's wrong with me?  Ugh, yup, I'm definitely a mother.  I realize that's an odd thing to say for a mother of ten, but it us what it is.


After they get homework done, Evelyn and Liliana run off to play a little before bed.  When I call Lili inside, she comes up holding a gray squirrel.
Lili: Mom, can I keep him?
Bonnie: A squirrel??
Lili: Yeah, he's cute, isn't he?
Bonnie: Well...uh, yeah...but...
Lili: Please mom? *puppy dog face...can't resist*
Bonnie: Okay...fine...just put him in a cage, okay?


I have more to worry about anyway.  It's time for Chelsea and Lucy to age up!


Chelsea grows up to with the brave trait and likes to dress up like a sheriff.  I think her father has some influence on her!


Lucy grows up with the brave trait as well, but she's not as much of a tomboy.


The next day, all the girls are off to school and I only have Mackenzie in the house.
Bonnie: What do you think about going fishing today, Kenz?
I get a giggle and take that as a yes.


We head to the waterfall to do some fishing.  While I'm talking to Mackenzie I notice a paparazzo watching us.


His name is Tad Chance and he definitely has some interesting genetics!  Looks like I've found my next baby daddy!

That night, it's birthday time!


Mackenzie looks a lot like me but has her father's coloring and hair.


Liliana is gorgeous...


...and so is Evelyn...and they both know it...I feel like I'm living with a couple of The Kardashians.

Over the weekend, the house can seem really crowded with two teenagers, two children, and a toddler in the house, so what is my remedy?  Put everyone to work!


First, they eat breakfast, then it's time for chores!  Children = slave labor!  Woo-hoo!  Hehe.


They make beds...


Take the trash out...


Clean bathrooms...


Garden...


...clean toilets...



...while I keep busy with Mackenzie.


After chores are done, the girls hang out around the house while I work on dinner.



I have to say that I'm very pleased with how well this bunch gets along.  It's nice.


At least for the most part...
Liliana: Chels!  I'm gonna kill you!
Chelsea: How do you know I put dye in your shampoo?
Liliana: You just told me, nimrod!


At the end of a long day, I buy a hot tub to soak in along with the older girls.


Bonnie: Ahhhh, this is the life.


Evelyn: You have to be careful getting into these things with boys, Lili.
Liliana: Why?
Evelyn: 'Cuz their little spermies can live in hot tubs and get you pregnant.
Lili gasps: Seriously?
I don't even look up to address this one.
Bonnie: No.
Evelyn: It's true!  I heard it!
Bonnie: From where?
Evelyn: It happened to a friend of mine's cousin.
Bonnie: It's always a friend of a friend...
Evelyn: No seriously!
Bonnie: That's an urban legend hon.  Trust me, you cannot get pregnant from hot tubs.
Lili: Well, unless you get it on in a hot tub.
Bonnie: Why am I having this conversation with the two of you?
Eve: Isn't it nice that we feel comfortable enough to talk to you about this stuff?
Bonnie: Not really, no.
Eve just shrugs and continues to soak.

*Sigh* Teenage girls.


The next morning, I fix waffles for all my girls.


Then it's time for Mackenzie's birthday!


Her sisters are really excited for her...and for cake!  Haha!


Mackenzie grows up looking a whole lot like me in the face and a lot like her father as far as coloring goes.


Of course, because it's a birthday, I go into labor.


Think happy thoughts!  Like beaches and sunsets!  Ahhh, that shiz doesn't work!

Soon enough though...


I give birth to Baby 11: Bella Reed


...and Baby 12: Miranda Reed.

Two more girls...what in the...?
