Efficiency is the Key

We begin this update with Carnation's subtle make-over. Through one of my redownloads and re-redownloads of CC I must've lost her original hair. I kinda like this one better though, so it works out.



Aside from hairstyles, Carnation also decided to explore her options with art. She graduated from canvas to sculpture in her teen years. Here we see her currently perusing the many and varied possibilities of the chunk of clay before her. What awe-inspiring masterpiece will flow from the mind and fingertips of our aspiring artistic genius?

Carnation - I think it's gonna be a sink. Maybe a toilet?

That's right, sweetheart. Reach for those stars.



Meanwhile Veronica amused herself with the dollhouse . . . in a manner of speaking.

Veronica - Hello there, Roni! Would you like to go to the park with me? - Oh, I'd love to Billy. Unfortunately DEAD GIRLS don't go to the park! *smash, smash, slam*

Queen Ann's Lace - . . . one of these things is not like the others . . .



Thanks to her two previous sets of triplets, Holly was now well prepared for the hectic chaos that her newest additions would bring. She'd long since developed a system to cope with the insanity.

Synchronized needs fulfillment ftw!

Summer's Darling's nappies.



Sequoia's nappies.



And little Strawberry's nappies. They were on a well-oiled schedule of efficiency.



The girls learned their pertinent skills with amazing aplomb.

Holly - Can you say 'Abominable Snowman' sweetie?

Strawberry - Don't you mean Yeti? Abominable Snowman is kind've a misnomer . . .

Holly - . . . close enough.



Holly - Clowns?

Sequoia - Clowns!

Holly - I'm not at all certain that's an appropriate response to "What would you like for lunch," sweetie. Let alone physically possible or morally acceptable.



Holly - Come on Summer. Just one word. For mommy? Pretty please?

Hipster Summer - I refuse to conform to the fascist standard that you struggle to place upon me.



They also got their walkies down-pat, too.







Carnation was a big help to her mom, getting needs filled while Holly worked on the baby skillz.





And also while mom took care of some other, less savory chores that needed doing. Such as emptying the potties.



Or fixing the buggy trash compactor. Alas, it seems the work of a BC mama is never done.



And when not skilling, the triplets found various things to entertain them.

Strawberry - Kitty!! *grabby hands*



Queen Ann's Lace - Uh . . . yah. That's not happening kid. Best you come to grips with that now and spare yourself the heartache later.



Sequoia - Horsie!



Sequoia - Bunnie!

At least one child has found the animals least likely to bite back.



Eventually Strawberry gave up altogether, deciding the blocks were a much more safe way to go.





And yes, Annie, your rank as Most Adorable Household Member is safe for yet another update.

Q. Ann - I approve of this decision. *snore*



BONUS PIC :

Neville has become a Child Gnome, and it seems the rest of the gnome-family turned out to celebrate the occasion.

Well, they would if Antonio would stop yelling at random objects, Midnight would stop yelling at Antonio and if Snuggles would rise up out of his cloud of infatuation long enough to notice . . .
