Mischief Managed - Chapter 9


To no one's surprise, Regulus started asking for bedtime stories. Every time he went to his parent's bed but wouldn't actually go to sleep in their bed. 


Before long it was both Gilderoy and Lily's birthdays! 


Gilderoy rolled Night Owl which joins his other traits of Absent-Minded and Eccentric. I again tried to dress him in fancy looking stuff. I wish I could find an outfit with a cloak attached like he was fond of wearing!


Lily has Harry's eyes! Finally. And what a coincidence too, normally you say that sentence the opposite way. I gave her pig tails as she had them in one of the pensieve memories


After eating some birthday cake, Gilderoy and Hermione fought over who got to wash the dishes. 


Lily was potty trained straight away. I just love that dog trash can!


Gilderoy was drawn to the opposite rocking horse than his brother.






Here is this week's edition of toddler spam!


Gilderoy was being a great idiot and cleaned up the piles of old newspaper that were on the porch. 


He also checked under their beds for monsters, but thankfully there were none.


I think this was the last gardening skill challenge. (+5 points)


After asking for so many bedtime stories the night before but not actual sleeping, it was no shock that Regulus passed out. (-5 points)


Gilderoy did not like Lily's xylophone as much as she did.


Gilderoy: Did you know that Dad secretly likes to dance with the sunflower when no one's looking? 


This kid is too awesome! He's not even Neat!


Regulus did eventually manage to find his bed. It could be because both of his parents were not available to ask for bedtime stories. 


They were too busy welcoming his new sibling into the world! (+5 points)


It's another boy! He rolled Oliver with the traits Loves the Outdoors and Athletic, which I think fits.


Regulus was good about doing his homework most days, I am hoping he'll get on the honor roll.



I know I already showed toddler spam, but I will never get tired of seeing this interaction! 



Harry taught Lily both of her other toddler skills. I gave him the Super Nanny lifetime reward and I think it makes skill training go faster. 


I wonder why idiots like to make tofu dogs more than regular hot dogs. 


Both kids did their homework as soon as they came home from school!


Regulus got another hug from his dad. Awww!


Gilderoy would rather chat with strangers online than interact with his parents. 


Hermione is still gradually working on her spellcasting skill. 


The boys did interact with each other a little bit, talking about magic.


Hermione's maternity leave disappeared again, but at least she got a raise for her trouble.


One day Regulus decided he'd rather stay after school and do his homework. Harry had to eventually "call everyone home" so he wouldn't be out after curfew. 


With the steam-it-up sauna you can choose whether you want to try for a girl or a boy when you TFB. I had them try for a girl since they already have three boys. 



When Harry was out gardening a giant meteor fell on their property! Thankfully none of the household was hurt, although two paparazzi got singed.

Mischief Managed - Chapter 8


I'm not sure what Regulus was doing with Green Shirt Man and Red Dress Lady, but it looks diabolical based on his expression.


Thanks, Harry! (+10 points)


Harry is slowly but surely working on his spellcasting when he's not busy gardening or taking care of his sons.


I changed my mind about turning the top floor back into a master bedroom when the kids had gotten out of the toddler stage, and turned it into a skilling room instead.



Harry actually showed up for the birth of one of his children.


It's a girl! She rolled Lily and the traits Slob and Genius. (+5 points)


After his first daughter was born, Harry completed this skill challenge. I guess he knows his children's traits automatically? (+5 points)


They wasted no time trying for number four. 


Hermione loves to work from home! If she's not in the rocking chair, she's most likely earning a few simoleons. 


It's taking Harry longer to max his athletic than I thought it would. I guess taking care of three kids and a garden doesn't leave much time for working out.


I thought it was super cute when Regulus initiated a hug with his dad!




The family took a trip to the Fall Festival on Spooky Day. Harry wanted to go through the haunted house and Regulus wanted to try for a stuffed animal in the claw machine thing. Hermione went straight home back to her rocking chair. 



Again I'm not sure why they look so dark. Maybe they need some overhead lights? I will try and remember to add some next time I'm in game.


Regulus went riding off into battle against the forces of good, I reckon. 



Gilderoy: *poof* Where it go? There it is! *giggles*



The family actually had two trick-or-treaters! And on Spooky Day and everything! That almost never happens in my games. They usually show up in any season other than fall haha.



I'm not sure why in my head Hermione is always the one making references.


While playing with Gilderoy in his swing, Hermione's bump popped!


Dude, it's not nice to scare pregnant people. Of course Regulus doesn't care for being nice, so what would you expect?



He is nice enough to clean their nasty, dirty toilet and shower though. 


After cleaning he went through the wall instead of through the door and got stuck in a night stand. He was fiendishly delighted. 


Regulus: Dad, I'm not a baby anymore! You don't have to let me win. 

Harry: I wasn't, son. I'm just pants at chess. Next time maybe play with your mother.




Harry finally got his spellcasting up enough to perform the restoration ritual! Unfortunately it failed, twice, and broke everything in the house (even the unbreakable stuff). One spiffy new wand later and Harry had everything sorted.
