Just a Little Update, Tonight!
January 2, 2007Hello! I know I posted just yesterday, but I have enjoyed a rather pleasant day (I have only one more before returning to school on Thursday!) and three children were born to a young couple of mine.
First, there were two: Lister and Margot Lindon. Their names are peculiar - Margot came from my wanting to call her Margaret, but my (evil) sister’s middle name is Margaret so I morphed it a little; Lister is an old English name, and was a common family name for the Holtes of Aston Hall. It reminds me of the word ‘Blister’ for obvious reasons. 
After a few energetic Woohoo sessions (where much fun was had by all), poor Margot found herself bowing before the great God of the Bathroom. Yep, she was pregnant. As a Pleasure Sim, I don’t think she was having a very pleasurable time. So, I endeavoured to make things a bit better by cheating my way through the whole pregnancy.
(I was annoyed because I had wanted to get them a dog, but 1 dog + 1 baby = wa-a-a-a-ay too much work for someone as lazy as me. But my annoyance turned to delight when I laid my peepers on their beautiful bouncing bundle of joy!)
Meet little Cressida Roola Linton! Isn’t she a darling!? I was over the moon when I saw how cute she was…her dad, although not bad looking, was designed to be a sort of punkish druggie lead-singer. And her mom is not 1/2 as pretty as her younger sister Lily (she was the female sim in my last post). But Cressie is an angel!
Curious to see if Cressie’s good genes were merely good luck, I got Lister and Margot to concieve yet again. I cheated again, getting Lister to teach Cressida all her basic life-skills, and after three days Margot gave birth…to a girl…and a boy…TWINS!
I named them Geoffrey and Philippa. This is a photo of Philippa, though they both look exactly the same. Oy.
So my game is booming! I’ve added a few more Cressie pictures to indulge myself. Knowing my luck, the twins will be ugly as heck.
Yeah, I thought the last one was funny. But then I’m sad, lol.
((peeks in)) I clicked over from Okines and lo and behold, pretty sims! That is a REALLY cute toddler. Normally any sims I edit extensively make horribly ugly babies… but then again, that’s the sims 2 for you. Congratulations on your graphic card, the pictures look great.

What cute little kiddies! I really like the little blond girl, she’s super cute! I can see why you fell in love with her! And I’m pretty sure the twins are going to be just as adorable! I can’t wait to see what they look like when they grow up! Mind if I add you to my links list on my blog?!

Sure, Mandie! And I’ll add you a bit later on. I’m tired now, from school.
Thank you both for you comments! I grew the twins up and they are utterly gorgeous, too. I’ll post an upate today or tomorrow, I think.

Lister, the name anyway, reminds me of the TV show Red Dwarf…but then I’m a big nerd.
Such a good-looking family! I hope the twins turned out to be as cute as their sis.
