FINALLY!

The kids thought it was very unfair that they had had to go into school at the last minute on a snow day, but Yevgenya was a good sport about doing her homework. (Especially since her little sister had done her homework for her the day before.)

Yedrek—who had somehow misplaced his own homework—ran out to greet his dad when he came home from the hospital,

and asked for help doing Yanastasia’s homework.

Genya went out to the bowling alley and played chess with Jan Tellerman.

Once Yulia woke up from her nap, she donned a thinking cap and studied Physiology (because she needed high Body skill in order to be good at restocking). Her twins both studied Cooking nearby.

It was time for Yasiu to grow up,

but Derek was so tired from work that he needed to take a nap before celebrating.

The home sports venue reached Rank 9 while he slept.

When he awoke, he got Yasiu out of the crib,

and brought the boy to the bowling alley for his birthday celebration.

But the boy was so tired that he went right to sleep on the toddler blanket in his big brother’s room.

Early Thursday morning, Yulia finished studying Physiology, and went outside to shoot hoops to try to raise her Body skill.

She reached Level 10 in no time!

Derek made and froze more mac and cheese entrees before work,

while Yasiu played with his Charisma bunny nearby.

After Derek left for work, Yulia invited over some of her friends, and got a smustle going in the bowling alley.

The kids came home from school and did their homework together.

Derek came home and potty trained Yasiu.

It was Genya’s birthday,

and she grew up into a teen.

As did her friend, Marsha Bruenig!

Though the rest of the family went to bed early on Thursday evening, Yed stayed in the bowling alley and danced the smustle.

Yed eventually went to bed, but several of the family members got up just after midnight and got their own smustle going.

Yulia took time out to continue potty training Yasiu.

Derek got up before work on Friday and made smart milk for Yasiu.

After he left for the hospital, Yulia took advantage of the effects of the smart milk to teach Yasiu to walk,

to be potty trained,

and to talk.

She was keeping on eye on the home venue, and knew that it needed only one more customer loyalty star to reach Rank 10.

And that afternoon, it finally happened!

“Thank goodness!” Yulia exclaimed. “Now we can move to a house where there’s actually ROOM for us all!!!”

NOTES FROM THE AUTHOR:

Yulia tried to open the store Friday morning, but both Bruce and Komei said they were too tired to come in. So, I just had her concentrate on getting the home sports venue to Rank 10 (which involved entertaining customers and making sure there wasn’t a speck of litter anywhere).

Now, on to build a gorgeous house!
