Just some random pics while waiting for Catherine

Pictures from the last two days while we were patiently waiting for Catherine to come home. No story, just pics.

Quick note - in case you've forgotten. John Edward (Johnny) Grant has a half sister Brooke. Brooke and husband Hans have three children; Picasso, Elizabeth and Leonardo. Johnny's oldest is Catherine from his first wife. Mason and Dixie are children from his second wife.

I'm still not fond of IF but little Dixie loves hers.

Sleepover night == cocoons of children everywhere. They just seem to flop where ever there is space at bedtime. Zonk.

Johnny's first marriage to Alaina was a huge mistake. They got along but it wasn't a good marriage and she played around - a lot.

Shannon and he have a great relationship. They go all lovey at the slightest provocation. If I tell them flirt, they'll take it from there.

Ok, word of warning here. Mittens just ate a parrot that was in the bird tree. I noticed in time to watch the final feathers fall. Do not have bird trees in a house with a cat.

Speaking of lovey dovey, Alaina Grant and Travis Kane actually out somewhere together. He's been living with her for some time, but they never go further or break off. I think she's still a tramp and has a few more lovers on the side.

As far as I know, he doesn't. But he could be hiding a few lovers and SP just doesn't tell me.

So it was interesting to see them actually be a couple out in a random park.

I gave Mason the LTW of Zoologist. If you have the Collection Helper, it's a disgustingly easy LTW - he should finish before he leaves high school. But it's expensive because you need 20 small pets and buying the cages and buying them food at least once a day adds up. (Hmm, Carl's Sims says they don't have to keep them. That would save money.)

I must say they went to some effort to make the various small animals interesting.

Muffin was in a chewing mood. Humbug, bad puppy.

You really can't do enough with the puppies. They can't go up or down stairs. They can't get into the pet toy box. They can't get into the bigger dog houses. Sheesh.

Why did Picasso (Brooke and Hans Grant oldest son) decide to interrupt a Kane family outing. Yes, this is the same lot of Kanes that I used over in World Adventures with the Grants. But in this blog, they are pretty much just doing what they please. The oldest son James is dating Picasso's younger brother Leonardo. Abbey is romantically involved with Bob Leman, the youngest of the Leman boys.

I always make sure daddy spends lots of time toddler training.

Mason is talented like his dad. He floats!

This is the coolest looking bird. Hawk body, owl head.

Leonardo and Hans Grant. Hans and Brooke had three lovely kids, I must say. Even if the boys got dad's bright red hair. (Hans's mom was Autumn Cusack pizza delivery girl)

Just a stroller shot.

Mittens tackled Mason knocking him over.  Mittens is quite the handful.

Mason told him off for that.

The pets move in their sleep from dreams. AWWWW.

Elizabeth Grant, Brooke and Hans second child. She just aged to young adult. Very pretty girl.

Derrick Leman, the oldest son of Thomas Leman and Zayne Hunter. He spent his teen years dating Elizabeth and the day they grew up, they got married. I hope Elizabeth feeds him up a bit, he's just bones.

Derrick moved in with Brooke, Hans, Leo and Elizabeth Grant. They have plenty of beds in that place.

Johnny got hair dye - booby trap.

It didn't make him happy.

Not many Sims can make this outfit cute.

cuddle the puppy!

Love the tail on this stray cat.

Muffin meets stray cat.

Shannon is a good mom.

And her boy appreciates it.

Scouting has taught him a lot too.

Shannon and Dixie

There still isn't much for paparazzi to do in town but report on Johnny.

Some of the Sim sculptures are cool.

Very cool indeed.

Thomas wandered over for a chat.

I like how the highlights in his random shirt match his hair.

I still love Thomas. My first real CAS and quite a nice guy. Sigh.

Mittens spent most of the day over in the cat park. He conned food out of Jericho Seastrider. Jericho from Avanis married Lily Darkshore (ghost vampire) and they just had a baby. I can't wait to see the genetics of that combo.

awww.

There must be something about our appliances. First Mason and now a repair person got into them.
