The Carson Legacy: Minnie chap. 3.8--1890s

Two chapters in one week! I feel accomplished.
 Little Daniel is just the sweetest thing. It didn't take long for me and Davin to get used to his adorable face.
 At the same time, it has been difficult to take care of two children, especially since I have been teaching Franklin his skills.
 Davin: "Hello little Daniel. I--
 --feel uncomfortable."
 I put the pet store in town, so I sent Daisy to visit it.
 Caroline Ingalls (I love Little House on the Prairie!) is the cashier.
 Daisy: "You like shiny things, don't you, Birdie? I like shiny things too..."
 Finally Cora is growing up...
 Cora: "Well don't I look sexy--"
Ahem!
Cora: "I mean, I look absolutely dashing!"
Keep with the time period, Cora!  >:I
 Lady is still stuck...
 Well look who it is! What are you doing at the dog park?
Heather: "Nothing....
 ...literally nothing."
Typical.

 Toddler walking! No, Samuel has not been taught any skills.
Cora! Watch what you're doing with Minnie's portrait. You'll be painting all the portraits, BTW.
Cora: "Huh?! You can't do that to me!"
I can, and I am.
 Cora: "Fine. How do you like your portrait now?"
>:I
 Toddler distraction!
 Davin: "Now Franklin, it's two in the morning. You've been on that horse for nearly two hours. It's time for bed!"
Franklin: "Hymph. More horsey..."

 Sad toddler face is cute.
 Violet: "Hey there, Acorn, you sweety."
I'd rather you stay away from the horses now, Violet.
 Daniel's birthday!
 He appears to have Minnie's/Lolly's face shape, not sure about the rest of his features yet.
 Samuel's birthday, too.
 It's possible that he has Cora's lips, but everything else is definitely from Christopher. Samuel got the family-oriented trait, which, as I think about it, makes sense. It's like he's getting older, he knows his father isn't with them, so he feels like he's got to take care of his mom and puts a greater importance on family. I am looking waaay too far into this.
 Fan: "Hey! I saw you in that piano concert!"
Minnie's out around the town? Weeeell let's just check out that weird glow I saw in map view...
 Unicorn!!! This is the first one I've seen in my game.   :D
 Minnie: "Hmm. Is that--?"
 Minnie: "A unicorn?! They do exist!"
Unicorn: "I am simply a humble creature roaming this world...

...also, I am the magnificent protector of nature!"
Well, that was amazing. Let's get back to the house.
 Samuel: "Wheee! Being a kid is simply delightful!"
 Cora finally got around to finishing Daisy and Violet's portraits.
 So you know what? Say goodbye to the both of them! I am glad to have the house be a little less crowded.
 Lady: "...ahhh...I been holdin' thet a looong time."
...um. So I guess Violet leaving unstuck Lady.
 Poor horse. All her needs are completely in the red.
 Minnie: "I was going to vomit in the yard, but now I've lost the urge."
 Daniel is completely adorable.  :)

 Looking at him more, I'm pretty sure he has Minnie's eyes. I hope he's not a clone of her, but even so, he's super cute.
 Davin: "I can't believe we've let Lady be so neglected!" *sob*
 Cora: "I know you've realized that your father isn't with us. I just want you to know that...if your father knew you existed I'm sure he would...um, when you look at the moon, uh, just remember that he looks at the same moon?"
 Samuel: "I think I understand, Ma. Don't worry, I'll be your shooting star. I'm gonna take care of you."
 Social worker: "You've neglected your pets; it's time for me to take them."
You are kind of pretty. Mind if I save you to the sim bin?
 Fine. Be that way.
Ice cream truck: *whistles in the background*
 Acorn: "Buh...buh...I wanted to be a star horse showman thingie! And win lotsa trophies!"
Don't make me cry, Acorn.
 Acorn: "I wasn't neglected! I don't wanna leave!"
:,(
 Minnie: "Oh, I'm pregnant!"
Dangit! I forgot to set her pregnancy clothes!


Minnie: "I wish Acorn wasn't taken away; he wasn't even neglected!"

Next time: Another baby! And I will probably get more horses, hopefully some that aren't "litter mates" so they can have babies.  :)

Christmas?


 Heather: "Merry Christmas and happy holidays I guess..."
 Heather: "Can I change out of this Christmas sweater?!"
Alright, you'll only wear it when Aunt Clara visits go on and take it off.
Heather: "Soo we're gonna celebrate New Year's even though it's past New Year's Eve?"
Yes, yes. I failed with getting a sims Christmas celebration so now we will have New Year's celebrations.
Some of the Carsons are with us. They are dressed in modern clothes (Elizabeth's looks a little '90s, I'll admit).
Lana and Robbie, have not seen them in a while.  :)
Also Lillian Mint and Liam O'Dourke.
Heather: "Psst, Lillian. There are dirty dishes inside the house."
Lillian: "Stop it, you know I'm a coward."  :c
Elizabeth: "Hey there, Davin. We aren't related, if you know what I mean."
Elizabeth! Don't be hitting on the father of your great-grandchildren!
Minnie: "Grandmother?!"
Robbie: "Champagne Nectar? Well let's have some!"
Nope! These glasses are just decoration (just noticed that I somehow got these glasses with this set). I'm not sure what Lana is doing here but it's certainly not 'viewing' the glasses.
Minnie: "Uuurrp! Heh heh..."
Lillian: "Turkey?! What a heartless sim world this is! I will be having salad!"
Jasper: "I'll have some nice...um...turkey?"
Lillian:  >:(
Lana: "Chicken dance haha..."
The chicken dance; prominent at every respectable sim party, along with the smustle of course.
Elizabeth is extremely cute dancing; I don't think I'd ever seen her dance before.
Seriously.
Cuteness overload.  O_O
Lillian: "I made drinks so everybody better come try them!"
You are grumpy today...
Me (?) and Jasper will have some.
Lillian: "Not Jasper! Not after what he did to that poor turkey!"
 Heather: "Got my drink, time for fireworks!"
A perfectly safe combination, I'm sure.
 Elizabeth: "Mine first, mine first!"
 Heather: "Ka-BOOM!"
 Scary face...
Here are fireworks from map view because I couldn't see them at all from the house.
New Year's kisses...

Doggie!!!
Stray dog: *grumble* "...PDA..." *grumble*
Ah, I love him. Adopt him, Elizabeth!
Elizabeth: *grumble* "...barely in the shot...dog already left the lot..." *grumble*

Ok New Year's celebration done now. I will hopefully put up another Carson chapter this week before school starts next week. Wow, this is my first post of 2012! Woot!  :D  Have a great year!
