Grata musica

Yes, I'm crazy. But as soon as that thought popped into my head, I wanted it. I needed it to become true. So here we are.

Grata musica - A very musical DITFT

Please enjoy! It's my third legacy, and a very special one. Grata musica mixes a DITFT with music and a Alphabetacy. Therefore it could be considered a MADITFT, but I didn't want to put that in the title. :)

1.12 So much adorableness!!

 

We today start with a picture of Dustin being VERY gross once more. Wait a minute, when did you get an elder? How did I miss that?

I’ve been an elder for quite some time now, dear.

Oopsie. Well…since your hair was rather light before, and your face didn’t get one day older, I just didn’t realized before. Besides, these clothes fit you so well……

They do, don’t they?! I love these pants!

 

Being an elder meant even more time that could be spent with his children, although it’s not like he’d had to work before. But somehow it took him this long to realize that all of his children, especially the smaller ones, needed him and Kate so much.

I approve of the food daddy gave me! Yum!

After being a perfect parent for a couple of hours, he kind of forgot Lynn in her high chair. It happens to the best of us *sigh*

Waaaaah, I want my mommy! Weird monsters with wings are attacking me here!

True story, look at the chair. I never realized how creepy it was.

I’m back from work, did I miss something?

No, not really… Oh, look, Julie had that same weather cast a few days ago!

Who’s Julie?

Oh, sorry, wrong legacy. Never mind.

She then proceeded to assure Dustin of her love. And, of course, she had to do that in front of her younger son Alfie, who I will keep calling Alfie at least until he is a child.

Well, I know that this frozen brain fits your hair, but… is that really necessary?

It tastes extraordinary! I want to explore more of it!

Yuck.

This is why I ate it: I’m writing a paper for my biology class and now I can compare the way frozen brain and burgers taste.

Why didn’t you just write something on dogs…

Or bunnies! Look, your brother loves bunnies. And they are pink, too!

Me love that bunny with no eyes!

He is a cute little boy, I can’t deny that… always smiling and in a good mood.

Dustin once again tried to read Brian a bedtime story.

 Not impressed.

He then went over to his own bed to sleep. I’m just happy he is asleep, I don’t really care, where.

When the sun was still asleep, Kate got up and decided to make the family some breakfast. That’s a nice idea, honey! Still trying to get your husband to eat real food once in a while?

It could happen, right?

Sure thing.

Yummy, that’s what I call a clean kitchen.

Lynn found the dollhouse and played with the little figures for hours. Isn’t that the one Alfie chewed on? Just saying…

Different child, same dollhouse. No, wait. Different wallpaper, hence different dollhouse! I forgot that I bought a second one.

Dustin obviously had a good influence on Alfie.

Go bees!

Who are the bees?

The guys in the yellow and black outfits, don’t you see them? *points at them*

Ah, yes, I see. Good luck then.

Kate, who once again came back from work exhausted and had afterwards stepped by the local saloon to get her hair cut, decided it would be a good idea to teach Lynn how to walk. I don’t think she is going to master all three skills on time, but you can at least try…

Fascinating – all three children somehow occupied by their parents at the same time. Has this ever happened before?

Cross-eyed, excited children mean one thing: BIRTHDAY! Alfie’s time as a toddler had passed so quickly and now it was time to age up into a child. He was much more enthusiastic than his brother (remember?). I was, too. 

Hi there! How you doing?

Ooooooooh, you are so pretty. I love you.

Right after the end of the sparkling, he proceeded to make the world a better place.

Mom, this environment is unacceptable for a child. There are dirty dishes everywhere (note how there is only ONE dirty plate today^^)!

Sorry, baby, you’re right. I will get right on that. Would you like some hotdogs for dinner?

Hotdogs? Jeez, mom, I’m a vegetarian, don’t you know that?! I’d prefer tofu hotdogs, those are my favourite food.

Oh, I didn’t know that! Again, sorry. Tofu hotdogs it is! Some ice-cream for dessert?

Ice-cream is always acceptable *smiles*

Before the joy there was the work… Kate didn’t manage to clean the house before she started preparing the food, so Alfie got right on that. And yes, that name still sticks. Isn’t he just the cutest child you have EVER seen?

I mean… just look at that! Pure cuteness. I don’t know what to add to that, so we’ll just call it a night. Bye, baby! <3

Author's Notes:  Just when you thought a kid couldn't get any cuter..... Alfie has grown into a child now. That means I am slowly getting closer to catching up with my game! I hate that I can't play much further at the moment, but all three are teenagers in my game right now and Brian is close to his young adult birthday :( Decisions have to be made soon, and since the last days made me struggle about how to decide, I will have to put the game on hold right now. In addition, I'm thinking about buying a new laptop - my old one is huge, slow and pretty much used up, I also desperately want to spend my earned money on something :D Either way, I won't be playing much ahead. After I have now divided the thousand or so pictures up into smaller units which I intend to use as the basis for my new chapters, there will be 10-15 more chapters before the decision. Siiiiiiiigh. This means a lot of posting coming up! :)

Besides: I totally get now how you can manage two legacies at the same time - when you don't want to see the one family, you just switch to the other one. Amazing! :)

1.11 They grow up so fast...

The newfound independence one of the kids had gained in the previous night was something appreciated by almost everyone. Kate was happy someone finally ate her food before it went stale; Dustin was more than happy to read bedtime stories to Brian whenever he asked for it. Although Brian repeatedly sat up afterwards and asked for another one, smiling adorably. [Seriously, that must be a glitch! My kids never fall asleep anymore, no matter how tired they am :( ]

…only Alf could be seen with disappointment in his eyes every now and then. He wanted to be as old as his big brother and do all the things he already did! Instead he had to wait for his parents to pick him and his teddy bear up from his crib, and then he could do…stuff. Not much, though.

Being a toddler sucks! I want to be a child! :(

Good thing I recently changed the duration of the different life stages! Keep your chin up, handsome. You will be a child in no time, trust me.

I really hope so… my parents always forget about me and then I am waiting in my crib the entire day.

Really? Nooo. I can’t imagine that.

See for yourself! :(

While Alf was being depressed, Brian clearly showed whose son he was. Brian, I had that exact same conversation with your mother – you will get sick if you paint in the snow! IN PYJAMAS!

No, I won’t! I’m sure I won’t. You see, I’m a big boy now and big boys don’t get sick. 

Yeah, right. We’ll see about that. Let’s head back to Alf, who was taken care of! See, I told you they don’t forget about you. Kate had more time for him now, and actually made use of it. This is what I call a good mother! (We’ll keep quiet about allowing her six-year-old son to paint in the snow. She can’t be everywhere)

Thanks, mum ,you’re the best! You’re my bestest friend in the entire world!

Awww, I love you too, baby!

Alf’s life really was busy, even if he didn’t realize it sometimes. There were so many toys to play with, like the dollhouse. He loved to use it, just as he often went to play with the little bunnies from the toy box. My kids aren’t forced to act gender typical, nonono! They can do whatever they want! :)

Nom nom nom.

I’m not too happy about them eating the wooden puppets, though.

One afternoon  Brian invited a child from school over. I forgot his name, to be honest, but since he looks a little Asian, I bet it was typically Irish or something. My game is funny that way. Also, it gave him a horribly hairstyle.

See?!

Hey, I can hear you!

Sorry… but then again, you’re not blind, so you can see it, as well.

You’re right… it looks terrible. Oh my god, the girls will hate me at school! I will never have a girlfriend… or many other friends… I won’t be able to go to prom… or to a job… my life is over already… it feels like I can’t breathe anymore!

So we’re a little overdramatic, huh?

Kate and Dustin decided to watch the lovely children play outside, so they joined them. Of course they didn’t change into their outdoor clothes. Why would you do that, I designed them for fun anyways.

So be happy they don’t get dirty!

Good line, honey! *giggles* I knew I had the best husband in the entire world! Come here!

Ooooh, just seeing him in shorts makes me feel cold.

Back inside, some serious toddler skilling took place. Even if that meant blocking the bathroom for hours and hours.

Oh, and then Kate took care of Lynn for a second. 

Before going back to Alf. Talking about favourite children, huh?!

YES, all three skills done! That means I get to choose the next trait! Life is good <3

The next morning, when the snow had surprisingly melted, Dustin decided to shock me. No, not with his looks, I’m used to that by now. He CLEANED the dirty dishes! How in the world did that happen? Did you lose a bet?

Nah, I just felt like it.

O.o

Apparently, someone hadn’t felt like paying the bills…oops. But taking the costume box is a little harsh, don’t you think?! It’s not the kids’ fault!

I don’t care whose fault it is *diabolical laughter*

Bitch.

Adorable toddler spam!

 

I correct myself – adorable children spam in general <3

Why am I never in the pictures?

Because you don’t look as cute as them, sorry.

Very soon it was time for Lynn’s birthday. Kate decided to do most of the work and blow all the candles, almost squashing her baby. Careful!!!

Soooo, here we go! Will she have pink hair? Or Dustin’s blond hair? Please have pink hair. Pleasepleaseplease. Please.

WTF???? Where is that hair coming from? No one ever had that hair colour! I want pink hair *starts sobbing*

Lynn decided that hiding her head after this embarrassing moment would probably be the best thing. Sorry, honey, I didn’t mean it like that… come back out, please!

Rawwwwr, I like dinosaurs!

You know… I just saw the funniest cartoon about the origin of dinosaurs! Wait, let me show you the picture. Here. "How dinosaurs happened!"

Bwahahahaha :D

What? Oh my…. No, he can’t be aging up already, can he?!

Relax, I’m just hungry…

Phew.  For a minute I was convinced I had lost a bunch of pictures.

Talking about pictures… I had some great new ideas in my mind!

Well, don’t let me stop you… at least the snow is gone now. Have fun!

Thanks and good night!

Author's Notes: Well. I do NOT know where Lynn's hair comes from, but it made me really depressed for a moment... this means only one possible heir has Kate's hair. How sad. Anyway, I looked up all the traits and here we go:

Brian: Bookworm, Good, Artistic

Alf(ie): Eccentric, Heavy Sleeper

Lynn: Couch Potato, Grumpy

Some interesting combinations we are dealing with this generation! Stay tuned to see what happens next :)
