Bringing up Dockie

Played a couple of days in Twin Oaks Park. Tuesday morning, everyone was up really early. I had Sarah help Emmett and Emily with their homework, thus fulfilling a bunch of wants for all of them. Emmet and Emily tried to fun up while Sarah made breakfast and Elias practiced Charisma. I had the kids take a quick nap before school -- here's Emmett in his new private school uniform:

Doesn't he look cute? :D Sarah spent the day studying cooking. Emmett got his school chance card -- he starred in the the school play, "Our SimTown," and got a charisma point. Emmett came hom in an okay mood, but Emily's fun was shot. So, I bought her a toy -- the Will Lloyd Wright Dollhouse:

That got her back in the green quick. I also had the adults "purchase" some elixer of life so they don't prematurely turn into Elders. Both have been knocked back three days in their aging. Elias came home and had his almost-pal Adrian over for a while -- I had to cut the visit short due to exhaustion. Emily also called up Carla and made pals. Everyone went to bed fairly early.
Which meant they were all up fairly early on Wednesday. Emmett and Emily did their homework and ate breakfast with their parents while Elias and Sarah worked on greening and cleaning. Elias had the day off, so I had him work some more on skills and wants. I also got the family a money tree -- Elias is a Fortune Sim, after all. I sent Sarah out to pay the bills and to meet a girl Sim that often walked by their house, Pamela Landry. They had a nice chat together. Emily and Emmett both came home with A+s, and played with the dollhouse a while. Emily had her friend Carla over, and she brought grown-up Trista -- her mom, perhaps? She and Emily played while Emmett did homework. Elias called up Adrian and finally made friends -- hopefully I can get him that promotion now. Emily got a call from Kathy while she was doing her homework, I let them chat for a bit. Then I got everyone greened and in bed. Emily is now four days away from being a teenager, while Emmett is five.
-D: Are you going to change Emily early again?-
Naturally. She is the older sister.
I also finished up my drawings of VampDoc2, VampMarty, and VampJennifer:

-VM: Not bad, although my face looks a little round.-
-VJ: Nice job with the hair.-
Tanku.
-OD: Yes, another finished drawing.-
Now to draw me tormenting you with socks and static electricity.
-VD2: What is with you and doing that?!-
Blame it on a TAS episode.
