Family 3: The Potts

This was the family I was dreading most - 4 toddlers and a child. I originally gave them 12 hours before the whole lot got taken off Alexandria.

Alexandria Potts: Fortune/Chief of Staff/(2/8/2/6/7)/ Libra/CAS Adult

Ryan Potts: Grow Up/(None)/(9/2/6/3/5)/?/CAS Child

Luke Potts: Grow Up/(None)/(5/3/7/3/7)/Pisces/CAS Toddler

Logan Potts: Grow Up/(None)/(4/10/4/4/3)/Leo/CAS Toddler

Lily Potts: Grow Up/(None)/(4/10/4/4/3)/Leo/CAS Toddler

Lydia Potts: Grow Up/(None)/(7/4/1/8/5)/Capricorn/CAS Toddler

As expected the house was chaos - but everyone had a place to sleep. Not that anyone seemed to get a goodnight's sleep for the first day. Finally Alexandria called a nanny and set off to explore the neighbourhood. The quads could manage without her for a couple of hours.

First she got a makeover - in what she termed her 'me' time. Then she decided to search for a father for her children...

It didn't take her long to meet Timothy King (2 bolts), who agreed to a date not long after they met. Alexandria told him all about the kids and he didn't seem to mind. He even seemed excited about the idea. Alexandria returned home much happier than when she left.

It was at this point - two days in my sister decided to set me the challenge of teaching all four of them all three skills... I should have said no... I didn't.

Alexandria soon managed to teach Lilly (standing) how to walk and talk. Lydia seemed more interested in the rabbit for a while but she came next and was soon chasing her sister around.

Alexandria finished teaching Luke how to walk on Thursday morning - although he never quite got round to learning to talk. Logan wouldn't shut up though - once Alexandria finished teaching him how to talk. He also got the hang of walking pretty quickly. Not a single one could use the potty however, which led to a lot of smelly children by the time they grew up on Thursday (Yes I did four days. Never ever doing that again.)

Now that she had five children instead of one and four toddlers she decided it was time for Timothy to meet them. He had a little suprise of his own though...

Alexandria agreed to marry him. He moved in with the family straight away - bringing $18,000 with him. As well as some impressively expensive items... the house got a little revamp.

The kids got along great (clockwise from top-left Lydia, Ryan, Luke, Lilly and Logan) but worried Alexandria with what she deemed to be plotting.

Great job, this family is tough but looks like you did well. I can't believe you actually managed to teach them skills--none of my toddlers got taught anything.

Congrats on defeating the terrible quads. I can't wait to give them a go (grimace).
