The Knight Family Grows Up!

Handling four toddlers at once continued to be difficult for Arla, and Dolce, who shared many of the responsibilities was getting stressed.  Dolce would go to school all day, where she was on the honour roll, go to her part-time job at the spa after school, and then come home to complete her homework and spend time with the toddlers.  Arla was so proud of Dolce and really appreciated her help, but she hoped to be able to afford the new house soon, so she could move her family on to bigger and better things.

Although Arla's youngest children were all born closely together, each child was very unique.  Kors, the only male in the family has the virtuoso, good and perfectionist traits.  Toddler Prada, always dressed in red, is excitable and athleticGucci is a couch potato, but friendly and always wears purple.  Lastly, Versace wears the colour blue and is excitable and a genius.

Before long it was time for Kors to age up, and he became a child.  His facial features tend to be similar to his father's.  At this formative point in a boys life, Kors would love to have his father George around more, but with his mother working so much, George rarely visits the house.

As tough as it seemed, Arla was very happy with raising her family.  It seemed as though all her dreams were coming true.  Between busy shifts working with clients, Arla even found time to teach her young toddlers the important skills of lie.

Within just a few days of celebrating Kors' birthday, it was time to celebrate the triplets' birthday. Each young girl continued to show her individuality and uniqueness.

When you give birth to as many children as Arla has, it's hard not to have your children's birthdays close together.  Already full to the brim with cake, Dolce aged-up to become a young adult.  Dolce looks quite a bit like her mother, but somehow has maintained her blond hair throughout her life, even though both her parents have dark hair.  Dolce is rather conservative, so she chooses to dress in respectful and semi-professional clothing.  Having had a full plate of responsibility growing up, Dolce did not have the chance to cut loose before becoming an adult, and it seems as though she has chosen to continue with her safe, conservative life.  Her cute hair cut is the only daring part about her.  As an adult, Dolce has decided to pursue a career in academics, at the local public school.  Her Life Time Wish is to live in the lap of luxury, hopeful something that she will be able to achieve with her new career.

And then life continued for the Knight family.  Kors, Versace, Gucci and Prada attended school for the first time, and spent their free time doing their homework and playing together.

George and Arla continued to see each other casually, but without the necessity of baby-making, and Arla's urgent need to make lots of money to buy a new house, seeing George wasn't on the top of her list anymore.  When then did get together however, George was sure to let Arla know that he is still hot stuff, and sizzling.



"ssssss, hot stuff!"
It was taking Arla quite awhile to raise the money needed to buy the new house, and Kors had another birthday.  He definitely looks a lot like his father, it's showing more and more everyday.  Kors has inherited some of his mother's fashion sense and is very fashion conscious.  His favourite celebrity is Zac Effron and had his mom cut his hair like his.




Growing up!
Just in time, Arla got another promotion to Couture Connoisseur, making a $1572 stipend per week and over $700 per client.  Arla really feels as though she has accomplished a lot in her life and she is very proud of herself.  The raise meant it wouldn't belong before Aral had enough money to buy the new house.

Finally a new house for the Knight Family!
Within a few days, Arla had more than enough money to buy the new house.  The family packed up some important furniture items, like Arla's designing desk and the many beds, and headed for the new house.

Although the children still had to share bedrooms, at least they all had a room to sleep in, and Dolce and Kors, the eldest children have a little more privacy from the younger children.

The Knight family felt right at home within no time, and they began celebrating the new space.

To allow Kors to develop her virtuoso trait, Arla bought her son a new specially made guitar, and he loved it!  Kors' experience using the xylophone when he was a toddler allowed him to pick up with his guitar skill at level 3, so he was able to play some great songs for his family.

The housewarming party became a birthday party for Arla!  It was a great way for her to celebrate her elderly aging-up birthday!

The new house seemed to be exactly what the Knight family needed.  There are enough bedrooms for everyone, two bathrooms to make shower and toiloet time easier, and plenty of room for family time.

The whole Knight family can finally fit at the same table!

Now with a career in motion and a beautiful house, Dolce is ready to look for a little romance for herself.  Unfortunately, the people that Dolce works with all happen to be women, so their aren't going to be any work-related romances happening for her.  Dolce tried to meet an interesting man by going out on the town and going to the art gallary.  She ran into a member of the Broke family, but he wasn't interesting at all, and his name explained a lot about him... he was definitely broke and unemployed, which is no help to Dolce who wants to live in the lap of luxury one day!

Pretending to listen to Mr. Broke
In her twilight years Arla has started using different medias for being creative, and has become a wonderful painter.  All those years of drawing designs has paid off!  She recently took on a job painting a small painting for a affluent Twinbrook citizen.

Arla has also started spending money on upgrading the new house, especially since her career now allows her to have some disposable income.  To please her genius daughter, Versace, Arla created a nice outdoor area in the backyard, where the family can play chess and work on their logic skills.

Arla's Life Time Wish finally came true as the triplet girls aged-up to teenagers!  The family celebrated in their large kitchen with three separate cakes.  The girls' dad George Dean was invited to the party, but he had to leave before the candles were blown out.
