Mercedes did finally try out her magics. Really these teens are not quite as interested in their magic as the rest of the family had been.
Mercedes also wanted to try out some elixirs her mother had made so she threw a few of them. This one reset Audrey’s age so he’s not quite so older than Mercedes as he’s the only guy she likes to talk to.
It was Mercedes’ birthday. She had lots of people show up to her birthday. Mercedes will be the heir of the Smith family.
Anne finally makes a choice of her own in all of her male friends and she ends up with Roscoe Supine as her boyfriend.
The whole family turns out for Mercedes’s graduation. She was not valedictorian like her siblings, but was vote most popular. She’s at least the friendliest of her classmates.
Marion and Kristen have taken to doing homework together. Marion has found this is easier than just talking with Kristen to become her friend.
Anne had finished the portrait for Mercedes, so ended up proposing to Roscoe. They were quickly engaged and then had a private wedding ceremony. Anne moved in with Roscoe who was currently still living at home with his mom and sister.
Mercedes finally got Audrey to meet with her at the bar for a date. And she moved quickly with him with a kiss and asked him to be her boyfriend. He had to leave his current girlfriend first but agreed to and so became Mercedes’ boyfriend.
In the end Audrey asked if Mercedes would move in with him. She said yes, but he ended up moving in with her family instead of his ex-girlfriend at his home. While Audrey moved his things, and then ran off to work, Mercedes finished the book that she was asked to write for her friend.
It turns out that Niki and Hanson had graduated with Mercedes and hadn’t gotten jobs yet. Both agreed to move with the family to be with their boyfriend and girlfriend to the new town that the Smiths are moving too.
So with everything packed and all of the family ready, the Smith’s move to Sunlit Tides. It will be island living for the author Mercedes Smith and family. They moved into a lovely home there.
So 3 of them David, Kristen, and Marion got one vote across Boolprop poll and the poll here while Mercedes got one on both making her the winner by one vote.
Grace continues to be involved with her youngest children. She gets Kristen to walking on her own. And later teachers Kristen to talk.
Lyndsey with her hard work at work has earned another promotion is promoted to Squad leader of her flight group.
David practiced on painting like his older sister Anne. Through his first painting seems a bit darker than hers was and an ambitions large canvas for a first painting.
While her younger siblings sleep, Mercedes becomes the first of Grace’s children to play with the block table. Mercedes is a bit looked over as a very middle child and three toddlers to keep up with for her moms.
Grace did take a break and attend the party that Edward Jones was throwing. He still lives with his sister and her kids. Grace spent most of the party getting asked for her autograph from everyone.
Anne does a lot of painting or homework. She’s pretty quite with the family through has several best friends at school to talk with. Anne also is in the art club and works with the school paper afterschool.
Teenage David wants to learn to drive and goes to the mother that’s been there the most for him. Lyndsey is quick to agree to teach him to drive since that is one thing that she does want to do just like she taught Anne to drive.
Grace had another night out this time to eat at and then promote the local restaurant. She did meet a few new people in the park and convinced them to eat there. She also then practiced her magic with the toad curse.
David had his new friend Noel Supine over and now there best friends after enjoying the slip ‘n’ slide. He’s the child with the most friends.
Not to be out done, the school wanted Mercedes to make a friend. So she ended up having Hassan Capp-Nest over and with a game of tag there were on the way to being friends. Grace was watching them as she tuned up her plumbots.
Lyndsey finally found some free time to finish teaching Kristen to use the potty chair. She had wanted at least be a little involved with Kristen’s toddler training.
David grabbed the easel again to try out painting again. This one was not quite as angsty looking as the last one.
The twins Mark and Marion’s birthday arrived and a party was held. First to the cake was Mark. And he was swiftly eating trying to eat some cake along with the rest when Grace finally got Marion to her cake, which went up in flames along with most of the table and food that was there. Grace ignored and answered a call from a friend who was throwing a party. Lyndsey finally managed to put it out and no one died even with the traffic jam in the door.
After setting up again, Marion finally got her cake successfully. She a cute one too but does favor Lyndsey in looks. Most of the guests left after the fire so it was just family and the bots. She did enjoy cake with her mom Grace.
Grace wasn’t as sleepy as everyone else and enjoyed a book and visit from her Grandmother Danae who came to try out a cup of tea.
Lyndsey keeps everything fixed when it breaks around the house for the most part. The dishwasher however, keeps breaking.
Grace has dinner and supervises a homework session for Mark and Marion. She’s making sure they get on the honor roll like their older siblings.
Lyndsey was asked to throw a party for a her new boss from work. She held a pool party and invited her boss and co-workers and few kids for her own kids to have fun with. Marion tried to play with Hannson, but he left early. Mercedes played a tag with Aubrey Davie-Wells. David decided he’d like to kiss his best friend’s younger sister Eva that he is also friends with, but that didn’t happen. He kept getting interrupted by Audrey and then she had to leave.
The party must have impressed her boss since the next day, she received a raise and her next promotion to Top Gun. She was quite excited about this as she almost an astronaut.
Mercedes jumps on the bandwagon of learning the painting skills with rest of her siblings. Through it does take her a long time to finish this one.
David did invite Eva over to see if he’d have more luck than at the party. David did he his first kiss and ended the date with a girlfriend since she was currently single which was luck on his part.
Marion started a large canvas painting. It was interesting painting, but took her days and past several birthdays before she finally finished it. Hopefully, next time she decides to paint it’s a smaller canvas.
The finally toddler was going to have her birthday and start school. Kristen’s birthday went off without a problem.
The four children soon became just three as Mercedes birthday was this day as well. She’s pretty still a lot of Lyndsey’s looks in all of the children.
David and Mercedes did homework together for the first time, but David is a bit smarter and finished first. Lyndsey came in to talk to her son after she returned from work in her flight uniform. Mercedes would prefer to do something other than homework. Kristen and Marion also did their homework together just in the main hallway.
Grace and Lyndsey’s eldest daughter was becoming a young adult and ready to graduate school. She’s very much Lyndsey’s daughter with her looks.
Anne was finally able to makes friends with Regan Capp. She’s wanted to make friends with her earlier but Regan wouldn’t interact with her except for a pillow fight which never went down at the parties. Mercedes also finished making friends with Audrey while at Anne’s party.
The blue children gathered for breakfast before the trip to city hall for the graduation ceremony. Anne refused to wear the cap and gown and there wasn’t many graduates. Anne was valedictorian and vote most artistic.
After the graduation Grace took the time to offer to teach Mercedes to drive which she accept. Mercedes was soon able to pass her driving test.
Mark started a book, through he didn’t get very far before he decided to eat and get ready for bed.
And the first child to practice his magic was David. Later he practiced enough to transform an apple into a butterfly.
Lyndsey became an elder before she was able to become an astronaut, but hopefully that doesn’t stop her from achieving that goal.
Grace found a new hobby and practiced on her father Preston’s old guitar. She picked up fairly quickly at first, but slowed down when it got harder.
David managed to finish his second novel. David managed a best-seller on his second book. He’s quite a talented writer.
Grace is such a sought out celebrity to eat at the local bistro that she once again enjoys their food and goes to promote it. This time she’s not able to since a fire is started in the outside eating area. Grace goes to put it out with her ice blasts. She’s tired and ready to go home afterward.
Grace got up early celebrated her elder birthday. Lyndsey may have taken hers well, but Grace was not quite as thrilled.
Anne is hanging around doing some painting for her mom. She’s creating portraits to the three plumbots to hang in the bot building room. She’s not the only one painting as Mercedes had started a painting on the downstairs’ easel and finally worked at finishing it. Marion also decided to practice on painting as well. Kristen on the other hand attempted to create potion unsuccessfully.
Lyndsey finally achieved her life’s goal of becoming an astronaut. She may be an elder but she gets to go into space.
And then it was Mark and Marion’s birthdays. This time it went off without any fires in the home. Mark went first again and I think that he’s the only one that favors Grace the most out of the kids and I think the only one that ended up with her eye shape.
Marion’s cake was save and she’s quite pretty. She does have Grace’s flat nose from Preston’s genes.
Anne’s not a witch so she’s not going to be the heir. I’m not sure about which of the one is yet.
Grace starts on teaching Mercedes how to talk, but it was a bit slow going at first. Mercedes did finish learning how to talk. Grace, however, made a few trips to the bathroom.
Next on the things that Grace did was to start on Mercedes learning to walk. This was cut short for Grace to pop as she’s expecting a new baby now. And Mercedes was quickly grabbed up by Lizzie.
This pregnancy is running a bit rough on Grace with frequent trips to the bathroom even after she further along. Grace does manage to find time to finish teaching Mercedes to walk through.
Anne and David enjoy learning and have their own hobbies when they are finished with homework. Anne continues to paint. while David has started writing his own book. And for fun, David has convinced Anne to read with him in the their grandparents’ old bedroom. They do keep themselves busy.
Lyndsey finds time between work to start on potty training for Mercedes. Mercedes is more focused on how hungry she was at first. She does finally finish learning to use the potty by herself.
Grace takes the time to brew some for elixir to list at the alchemy store. She working on getting to be the master alchemist in Roaring Heights. And a few of them go for a pretty penny now in the store. It was soon that she was known as the Alchemy Artisan in the town.
Grace finds time to chat with her sister Marie about their lives. Marie and Orlando had another child, a boy named Thomas.
Grace’s agent sends her to eat out at the local restaurant and then promote it to the residents. This went well and she ended up with a free meal to take home. Plus making friends with someone new and catching up with Audrey Shears.
At home she share’s her interest in alchemy by gifting a few friendship elixir to Anne to help in making friends. Anne doesn’t seem too interested in alchemy like her mother is.
Grace is wondering when her newest baby is going to arrive and she goes into labor after enjoying a morning cup of tea. She ends up at the hospital by herself as Lyndsey needed to stay at work if she’s going to get another promotion soon. Grace gives birth to twins this time Mark and Marion.
The twins Mark and Marion are put into rockers and played with by all the plumbots and Grace. She’s loving motherhood now that she finished getting her name down in history of plumbot creation.
Lyndsey’s boss wanted her to learn the marital arts skill. With two new babies, it was decided to find and buy a martial arts dummy for her to practice on instead of a trip to learn the skill. Lyndsey did impress her boss and ended up with a raise.
It was soon Anne’s birthday. The first of children was becoming a teen. Anne favor’s Lyndsey in her looks. And it looks like Aunt Marie is expecting another baby now. She must keep up with her sister I suppose.
Anne is a pretty quite and proper teen and continues to love painting. She did finish her squirrel painting. And on the weekend, Lyndsey taught her to drive.
Grace keeps each of the plumbots running smoothly with tune ups. They are a wonderful help with all of the children. BarbaraB even got a job a the dinner, but she still cooks too much food for the family.
David tried his hand at painting but isn’t quite a good as Anne is at painting. It was still an enjoyable weekend morning for him through.
Mercedes when not being entertained has discover how to summon toys to herself to pay with. Through she does get a lot of play time from the BonnieB.
Mark and Marion’s first birthdays arrived. Each parent took one to their cakes to celebrate. Mark is the first with blue eyes like Grace, but then Marion joins with being blue eyed as well. Both are adorable. Marion is quick to learn to summon toys during her party. She’s quite precious.
LizzieB has a favorite toddler and it’s Marion. She’s quick to grab up Marion at all times and play with her or just walk around with her when she’s not on the charging base. Mark is on a different sleep schedule then the Marion and Mercedes as they enjoying playing while he sleeps.
Potty training is first on the minds of Grace and Lyndsey. Grace takes care of teaching Mark to use potty chair. Lyndsey finds time after work to teach Marion.
Grace being involved with the toddlers very much more than the first two kids, starts teaching Mark to talk. He didn’t learn much before a break was needed for him to eat and sleep. Mark did eventually learn to talk enough to complain about his sister, Marion.
Grace did take a time out herself to go and dance at a club at her agent’s request and it got her out of the house for awhile. Plus she did get paid for it.
Preston had wanted more grandchildren when he was alive and now he visits in the even often taken Mercedes to rock in the chair over any of the other toddlers.
Lyndsey had been wanting another child with Grace, but the last pregnancy was rough on her. This time they had planned with the hospital for a new baby with their randomized genetics and then went to pick up their newest daughter, Kristen. Hopefully, the last since she child number six in this family.
Grace wanted to teach Marion to walk, but BonnieB started on teaching Marion to walk while Grace was out. Grace then took over to finish teaching her to walk. So BonnieB started on teaching Mark to walk as well. BonnieB can be very helpful in skill training. The next day, Grace finishes teaching Mark to walk as well.
Anne finishes up homework first thing on coming home and most of the time finds help with BonnieB but sometimes LizzieB. She also attends prom by herself and is crowned prom queen, but her crush ignored her and she didn’t get to dance either.
The night of prom was also Mercedes’ birthday party. The guests mostly ignored her party, but at least she has a big brother that pays attention until cake is served and then goes to finish his homework. Mercedes like another favors Lyndsey a lot.
Grace worked out on her agent’s request. She did manage to improve herself even if she just shy of gaining another skill level in her workouts. But she was tired and smelly so it was time to all it a night. As Grace took a break Mark and Marion took time to play.
All of Lyndsey’s hard work is paying off and she is now a pilot at work. She has a new uniform to wear now and she’s closing in on being an astronaut.
David’s birthday was almost a surprise, but it did happen. One of the guest put Kristen on high speed during the cake celebration and no one could be torn away to take care of it. David had been on the slip ‘n’ slide before cake so swimsuit ware for him. He has Lyndsey’s eyes but I think the rest may come from Grace.
Grace gives David a birthday present for him to use when ever he needs it as friendship elixirs are always useful when he finds someone he just needs to be friends with.
With the guests clearing out, Mercedes brings out her homework and gets some help from David’s best friend Audrey Davis-Wells.
Lyndsey and Grace keep wanting more children, but they are getting up there in age. I’ll just let them and fate decide that. Though hopefully it’s a no.
Marion was the last to learn to talk. Lyndsey had stopped and started several times, but just couldn’t stick with it. Grace had to step end and finish teaching Marion to talk.
David finally finished his first book, The Adventures of Windi. It did well enough for a new author and didn’t flop. Anne continues to express her artistic side in the trying a new painting style.
It was finally Kristen’s first birthday and most of the guests ate and ran before Grace could get the birthday girl to her cake. At least Aunt Marie stayed and enjoyed tea and cake.
I wanted to get to Kristen’s birthday before ending this chapter so it’s a bit longer than the most. But also it was mostly toddler training and birthdays.
