And she heads downstairs to whip up a birthday cake for Kate – in her favorite color, blue!
While Salim makes a few phone calls
And Mateo does a good job of keeping his Mum distracted upstairs
After finishing the cake, Leia whips up some pancakes
And Kate enjoys a birthday breakfast with her family
She talks about her plans for the day – she’s going out for drinks at lunchtime with Summer and Liberty
As she heads off to clean up, Salim and the kids talk about their own plans for Kate’s birthday
Leia isn’t feeling great – she’s scratchy and has a rash! ☹
So, she heads upstairs to take an oatmeal bath
Meanwhile, Kate is feeling inspired on a new book, writing a fantasy book this time!
Leia is feeling better after her bath, and joins her Mother in the office and plays with Tiddles for a while
Salim even cleans the house for Kate – for anyone who knows Salim, we know that’s hugely romantic!
So, Kate has time to have a bubble bath
Before getting ready to go out
She greets her friends, both of whom have aged up to elders already! How time flies!
And the three head to a bar, where they meet up with Jolene. Kate decided to invite her to her birthday drinks, which she happily accepts.
I’m so happy these two have such a good relationship!
At the bar, Kate orders drinks as she introduces Jolene to her best friends
And the four of them drink a few simsmopolitans (sp?)
Go Kate! It’s your birthday after all!
Liberty seems to be getting on well with Jolene, as the two talk about Josette and the family as well as getting some updates on Jolene’s life
Back at home, the family have been hard at work preparing a little party for Kate
Which she is happily surprised with as she arrives home to a chorus of “SURPRISE!”
Jolene greets Josette happily with a hug
And kisses her husband, thanking him for the amazing surprise
And after eating some barbeque (which my computer decided to delete my screenshots of! ☹)
Kate blows out her birthday candles
Officially aging up to an elder!
Elsewhere at the party, Leia and Harry are happily enjoying the swing set, still getting on well. Their date was a success and the two are moving into official dating territory…
Salim officially introduces himself to Jolene, and the two start chatting
Jolene tells Salim a little more about her life, and he is very interested
He tells her that he is a journalist, and asks her if she’d consider letting him write a piece on teen pregnancy and adoption from the perspective of her as a birth parent and himself as an adoptive parent – what a unique opportunity!
Jolene says she will think about it but seems generally happy with the idea!
As she bid him goodbye
As well as thanking Kate for inviting her to spend the evening with her family
She tells her how much it means to be feel like a part of her daughter’s family, and Kate assures her that she IS a part of the family
And after a special goodbye with Josette, it’s time for the last of the guests to head home!
Upstairs, Leia is already texting Harry
he only left an hour ago, Leia!
And soon the pair are on the phone
But there’s school tomorrow, Leia’s last week of school before graduating and becoming an adult! So it’s time for bed for the family!
And that was another day in the life of Kate, Salim and their family! Kate and Salim are officially elders, and their children are growing up fast!
What will happen next? How will Leia’s last week of school go? Will Salim begin his piece on adoption? How many more books with Kate finish? (she’s currently earning 1,500 roughly in royalties a day – woah!)
Find out next time!
