Some of you may be wondering about my new year's resolution this year. Last year it was the cupcake thing, and miraculously enough, I completed it successfully - even with a shitty Cupcake of the Day calendar. I didn't think I would of back when I made the commitment, but here I am a year later - 56 batches of baked goods under my belt. Many people at work are disappointed the whole thing is over and have asked me what this year's goal would be. Am I going to bake cookies every week this year? Or pies?

No. No I'm not. No more food resolutions. Ever.

"So, what is she going to do instead?" you may be asking yourself.

No?
Oh, well I'll tell you anyway.

I am going to finish the Sims Legacy Challenge.

That's right. 8 more generations to go and I'm up for it! And you can come along for the ride because I'm going to continue blogging it. Starting now!

Oh, and you can catch up on what happened up until this point by re-reading the entries here: The first Legacy Challenge post!. I linked them all together for your convenience. I also tagged them. I didn't know you could tag stuff in LJ! When did that happen?!

We will now return for the second half of Days of our Lives in just a moment.

Elwood has waited for this moment his entire adolescent life.



He becomes a teenager and gains the family oriented trait! You'd think he'd look a little more excited about it. Maybe it's the dorky haircut they gave him.


Now he looks handsome. Something tells me he was born to wear a suit.


And just like Walden oh so many years ago, he tries to make up for the parental neglect his brothers have endured. Bonding with Frankie is only one of several tasks Elwood does as a super awesome big brother.


Charlotte pays a visit to the house and enjoys the new Foosball table.


Jared joins in and catches up with his dead in-law. Totally normal stuff going on here. Nothing out of the ordinary. Seriously. Everyone has a dead in-law hanging around the house, right? Anyone? No?

He mentions to Charlotte that the TV she bought all those years ago is a big pain in the butt. For some reason, he gets the feeling she agrees with him.


Meanwhile, Sophie continues to work the parenting angle and teaches Patrick how to walk.


All that squatting must have triggered something because immediately after she goes into labor with her 5th child.


You'd think Roosevelt would be used to this kind of thing by now.


Camille Sanura is born!

Sophie buys Camille a small, hot pink stove so her baby can learn how to bake cupcakes. Isn't it adorable?


No, Jared is not celebrating the arrival of his daughter. He's celebrating his birthday! Jared is now a full fledged adult! To think, he's impregnated his wife five times before he even reached the ripe old age of 35.


Roosevelt also has some good news - after all his hard work he finally was promoted to a International Super Spy! He receives a body modification machine as a gift. Possessed with the skills of a computer hacker, not even Roosevelt could figure out how the thing worked. Roosevelt shoves it in the downstairs bathroom. Nobody is going to use it anyway.


...ah. Well, I guess Elwood has some body issues. Now he's nice and skinny.


Wise 'ol man Jared gives his son a bit of advice and tells him it doesn't matter what he looks like on the outside. It's what on the inside that counts. I mean, how else would Elwood's mother had married Jared with that dorky haircut he has? That has to be unconditional love based on personality alone. Seriously, his hair is bad.

He also tells Elwood he should never swear in front of nuns.


Confused by Jared's rambling, Elwood decides to join his brother Jake at the kitchen table to work on homework. He asks Jake what he would order if he ever wandered into a soul food kitchen. Jake thinks about it a moment and replies, "4 fried chickens".


Elwood asks if he would want chicken wings or chicken legs. Jake replies, "Four fried chickens. And a coke."
