The family quickly settles down. Harris is inexplicably painting again, while Layla plays the guitar.
Rowan finds some enjoyment on the swings. Cypress has never even been near them, so I'm glad they're getting some use....
While out there getting Rowan the chess table he wants, he deserves some happiness, I decide to repaint the house a cheery yellow. I also take down the wall/fence/gate since its not keeping the Pap out anyway.
Rowan and Cypress at a friendly game of chess. I am hoping to foster a good brother/sister relationship between them. Rowan does have his Mother as his best friend, his Father as a good friend (how? Harris spent so much more time with him) and unfortunately his sister is just an acquaintance. Let's try to remedy that.
I find it funny that Harris paints music notes.
Ummmm... what? Nothing wrong with a bit of open shirt imagery.
While in build/buy mode I see this. Isn't it pretty?? This is why I love Open World.
So hey buddy, I've got some mixed news for you. While you were off playing chess your Mother decided that she would like you to go to Le Fromage art school. Sounds great doesn't it champ?
"What the what???!??"
Hey now, hey... she also wished for a bunk bed... for however long you're still here for.
"At least I can sleep at the top right?"
Well now... your sister already wished to sleep on the top... so....

Cypress looking super smug in the morning. Rowan 'wakes up out of sorts'... yeah no kidding. He's thinking about being shipped off to boarding school while his sister stays home and his parents have a new baby. Nevermind that BOTH of them are hoping for a new boy.....
As is his usual fallback, Rowan heads for the dollhouse to let out his frustration. I am only slightly....very... scared.
Downstairs Cypress feasts on salmon while she contemplates life as the top dog. For now anyways... who knows what this new baby will bring into the mix.
