Catherine Bell-Barker ~ 100 Baby Challenge: January 2011

After I checked the mailbox and found a gift certificate to the shoe store in the mall from Violet, I took the girls and let them pick out their own sneakers! They are sensible and yet ADORABLE and come in many different colors! The girls all the picked the ones they liked best based on their favorite colors...

Brittany picked black and pink - she loves black!

Brianna picked Spiceberry

Bella (blinked!!) chose Lilac (ALSO my favorite color!)

I know we just moved, but the paparazzi were so horrible, and the house we were in was so small and crowded... that I painted a TON of paintings - selling for about 1k each... finally I had enough to afford this house. It is BEAUTIFUL and very large- with room enough for each child to have their own bedroom.

Bye bye old house!

Hello new log home :)

We got to our new home just in time for the girls to go to school! Summer and Genevieve get along well and sit together on the bus!

Then it was time for the B's to eat their breakfast in their brand new high chairs!

Brittany - such a pretty little girl!

Bella - i love her blonde hair!

Brianna - such a cutie :)

The girls :)

I made myself hot dogs for lunch, but I knew I should make extra for when kids get hungry later

When the girls got home from school they started to do their homework in the nursery... which confused me because they all have desks in their rooms!

Gina and Genevieve still get along well - they help each other with homework every night!

I love how well Summer and Gina get along! They play video games against each other so competitively!

Look at my little ladies all making themselves busy in their new underwater themed playroom!

Suddenly it dawned on me.. It is Summer and Skylar's birthday... they both have A's in school and I need to get started on finding father #5...

The girls said their goodbye's and got in the car to go to their new house! I bought them this car with what money I had left after moving... Summer seems too excited to leave :(

I made a quick sculpture for some cash... buying the girls a car took a lot out of the bank... we have close to nothing left.

Then I gave the girls some lunch - bottles this time. They get quite fussy in the high chairs.

I fed their wall-fishtank fish and then went for a run outside to pick up this gem I found outside!

I called the baby sitter to watch the girls and I took a walk over to the park to find daddy # 5... and I found him. His name was Hermanar Javoso.. He was handsome, sweet, funny.... and GREEN. I giggled to myself that the last two pregnancies have given me different shaded children... blue- pink and hopefully now green! We flirted.. and kissed.. and I invited him home to start the continuation of my challenge...

After we heard the lullaby we wanted to hear, I said goodbye and went to upgrade the trash to unbreakable.

When I was done I went to go age up the girls... but what I found was just too adorable

Brianna was chewing the poor teddy's ear!! I let her play for a while longer - and aged up Genevieve and Gina first.

Genevieve

Gennie is a lovely teenager!

Gina

Gina unfortunately got bad eyesight- and normally wears glasses! She is GORGEOUS

Catherine: "Uh oh!"
Gina: "Mom are you ok?!"
Catherine: "Honey hold the camera"

Morning sickness... the best time of day. At least I made it to the bathroom. When I came out after cleaning the toilet and brushing my teeth I saw Gina and Gennie telling secrets! They are still like kids!

I laughed softly to myself and decided it was about time to do some laundry.. I collected the clothes from all the rooms and brought it to the laundry room.

Then I paid the bills... The number seems to get larger every time I look at the bill... oh.. it does ..

I got a phone call from Skylar! She was throwing a party! I quickly hopped in the cab and arrived just in time! She and I chatted for a while and we hugged.. I missed her so much! Suddenly out of the corner of my eye I saw a handsome man I knew very well...

"GAGE!!" "Mom?!" We were so happy to see each other. We caught up quickly. I missed him. He is my first born , and still only son! I told him I was pregnant again, and he said with my luck, it is probably a bunch of girls, then he gave me a sarcastic grin and a hug.

When I left Skylar's and got home, I jumped on the trampoline until I got nauseous from the morning sickness again... but this time before I could run to the bathroom.. it went away.. and instead, I got my baby belly! I was so excited! I wanted to see if Gage's prediction was true!

I went inside and chatted with some friends online until I got too tired and went to sleep... When I woke up I knew I had a lot to do before the babies got here... I cleaned the high chairs...

Then aged up the girls.. I needed the cribs and they had been toddlers for LONG enough.

I hugged each of my girls and wished them all a happy birthday :) I heard the bus drop off Gina and Gennie, and I heard other's with them. Gennie brought her new boyfriend over and Gina brought... Dad?
I hadn't seen any of the fathers so far since the baby making. I was surprised to see him here. Apparently Gina invited him over and he was more than happy to visit! Gennie could care less - she was absorbed in her boyfriend.

After they said goodbye to their guests I told them to do their homework. They went down to one of the bedrooms and did it together, like they did as children!

Brittany and Brianna jumped on the trampoline together. I wondered where Bella was...

I found her absorbed in the chess table!

Gennie, Gina and I went to the new music room and started to Jam... I had some guitar skill already, but they were just learning. Gennie picked the drums and Gina picked the piano! It sounded lovely!

Brianna cleaned the toilet, I didn't even have to ask her to!

I made pancakes! and then cleaned the counter...

And then the dishwasher broke, so I fixed that too...

And after all that work I went up to my bathroom to have a shower.. when that ALSO broke...

Finally I got to go to bed.. I was exhausted.. and this baby/these babies would be coming any minute...
The girls all slept in their rooms too... It was one tired household.
