Where are you running off to, Artix?
Artix: First day of school, bye!
Not nervous or anything?
Artix: LOL nope.
Welcome back to the Hyde Alphebetacy. Don't slip on the banana peels (Mario Kart stores them around here).

More money from promotions means that it is finally new house time! Credit to my friend for designing this architechtural wonder - I only added a few tiny tweaks. She did most of the work, so round of applause. :D
Here we have the second floor, which includes...
The nursery, for Astrid and the new baby (who has yet to be born).
The boys' room, which Armando and Artix share. (Armando's bed top left, Artix's bottom right).
The girls' room, which Aeryn has to herself for the moment but will be sharing with Astrid soon.
And the bathroom. Lovely. :D
Next up is the first floor, which includes...
The kitchen/dining room area (finally, the whole family can fit on the same table!).
The TV watching/lounge area. (I protested the television but my marvellous designer friend said it 'looked good', so it stays).
And an extra bathroom. It also includes Dorrogon and Summer's bedroom, but I forgot to take a close-up of that. It's fairly average, anyway.
Here we have the exciting basement/underground lair/study room. Lots of people spend lots of time in here, except Astrid who is permanently stranded in the nursery because she can't do stairs yet. Ha ha. I do think that's a bit unrealistic, though - I have seen one year olds manage stairs by going down backwards very slowly. It's adorable. :D Anyway, back to the Hydes, who have just moved into their new shiny house.
Summer: Don't you want to sit next to me?
Artix: No. -_-
Artix: No. -_-
Aeryn: Okay seriously, brother, you have problems.
Artix: I just like my personal space!
Artix: I just like my personal space!
Armando: Zaffie! What are you doing here?
Finding out why you're awake at 1AM when the rest of the family is sleeping. Having fun playing video games?

Armando: Yes. :D I love being a teenager.
Gosh darnit, Repolady, do you HAVE to steal the toddler's toys in front of the toddler?
Astrid: Yay, facetime!
Astrid: Yay, facetime!
Summer: I impale you with my elbow. Hyaah!
What aren't you doing, Artix?
Artix: Ummm... going to school? Yeah, sorry about that. I decided to spontaneously skip school and eat waffles today.
*facepalm*

The awkward moment where I was so busy writing captions that I forgot all about my sims and completely missed Summer's labour in the bathroom.
Meet Achille Hyde, the newest addition to our legacy. He's named after my grandfather, BTW, and is a friendly virtuoso. At first I was mad at him, because he was just one baby and not the mixed gender twins I wanted to complete this gen of my legacy.....
But then this happened!
And ZOMG new baby was girl! I got my mixed gender twins without using any cheats to influence them! Brilliant! This baby is Arwen Hyde, named after Arwen the elf princess from Lord of the Rings, obviously. She is neurotic and friendly. And so I was extremely happy.
And then THIS happened. WTH?! Triplets?! I did not sign up for this! Do not want! I planned this gen to have SIX children, not SEVEN!!
So, meet Amy Hyde, the unwanted but not unappreciated seventh member of generation one. Since I had already used all my creative 'A' names and not been expecting another child, she was just given one of my FAVOURITE names EVER and also named after Amy Pond, the best character to grace our screens in Doctor Who. So nobody better tell me Amy is a boring name or I will kill them. >.< I love the name Amy.
Now it is time for a short interlude. I like to call it... The Adventures of Artix and Astrid!

Artix: Mwa ha ha, the moneys, I shall take TEH MONEYS!
Artix: Why hellooo there, baby sister.
Artix: Yoink!
Astrid: Goshdarnit, I should have seen this coming! *pounds fist on knee*
Astrid: Goshdarnit, I should have seen this coming! *pounds fist on knee*
Artix: *sigh* Okay. Here you go.
Astrid: Yay!
Astrid: Yay!
Artix: Shut up. I am still evil. She was just... crying... so sadly...
Uh huh.
Uh huh.
Aeryn: Whooo, it's my birthday!
Artix: I'll just leave these waffles here, no one will notice...
How is it he manages to sneak into all of my shots?!

That's not a good sign, dear.
I... I... I don't even...
Artix's Arm: *sneaks into shot like ninja*
Just to be mean, I'm going to wrap up this chapter here. Sorry for a shortish chapter mostly filled with house shots... on to the next one! Up next on the Hyde Alphebetacy..... there will be a family portrait! We will choose a new heir! And lots of birthdays. WAY too many birthdays. Catch all this and not much more in CHAPTER TEN! And also COMMENT.
