I'm pretty sure I was thinking of the hot springs from BV though, which kids definitely can use.<br /><br />Very true, lots of people change their minds about what they want to do with their lives - even ones who are a lot older than Caitlin is. As I said above though, she fits the criteria for a number of careers and I've narrowed that down further to two or three that I think she'd be well suited to. I'll be watching her carefully to see if anything else jumps out at me as well. <br /><br />And yes! I'm really excited to see what Caitlin gets up to on campus! Hopefully not getting pregnant, lol!<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-73119130340149379802013-07-23T06:46:11.451+10:002013-07-23T06:46:11.451+10:00Kids can't get in hot tubs?

I kind of feel the same way about Caitlin. It's hard to believe she's almost grown but I'm very keen to watch her go through college, so it's really fun for me too. :)<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-49890911241004717032013-06-23T19:29:28.830+10:002013-06-23T19:29:28.830+10:00I really liked the mother's day outing!

I just can't resist to her little freckled face! She's really one of my very favorite Sims of yours! So, I'll catch up with the previous chapters later! ;)<br />Awww, that idea to take their mom to the spa was so cute! And your spa is so lovely! <br />Caitlin to college already!!!! I always see her as a kid! Geeez, all these options! I'm excited to see how it will go!!!

She's as tall as Victoria already, which I didn't really notice until I saw how she was towering over the kid on the cash register at the spa!<br /><br />The spa was fun to do. I've started over with my CC but I'm adding a little more with each play session, so it's starting to feel more like "my" game again. I'm sure Keira just enjoyed spoiling her mum, even if there wasn't much for <i>her</i> to do!

I really didn't think Finn and Victoria would create such gorgeous kids. Keira was about what I was expecting, to be honest (and she turns out just fine as a teen, by the way).<br /><br />I don't think Keira is thinking through this whole Caitlin moving out thing! She's thinking of extra attention but I think she's going to miss Caitlin a whole heap once she's gone. She definitely misses Declan. Once he left after his visit, she rolled up a whole bunch of wants for him.<br /><br />Caitlin's got a lot of family support behind her, so I think she'll do just fine whatever she decides next year. I think the most important hurdle was just getting into college and she's done that. She can sort out the finer details a little later. :)<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-75847917484733433472013-06-20T13:58:53.670+10:002013-06-20T13:58:53.670+10:00I can't believe Caitlin is already going off t...I can't believe Caitlin is already going off to college!

I love the part when Keira looks too excited for her sister to head off to college.I would think she would be bored to death with her parents and grandma.<br /><br />Hopefully, Caitlin will have better insight into what she wants to pursue, but I think after she dabbles in a few college courses, she'll have a better idea.It's great that she is at least seeking advice from family before getting there.But I think ultimately her mom is right in telling her that she doesn't have to put so much pressure on herself.I look forward to seeing her in college next fall.apples252https://www.blogger.com/profile/11886718181340509448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-78643326783591280972013-06-17T07:06:04.656+10:002013-06-17T07:06:04.656+10:00I know, there are so many things kids can't do...I know, there are so many things kids can't do.

I'm actually really excited to send her though. :) And yes, I imagine there will be more Keira once she's the only kid in the house. <br /><br />Very true! Day spas aren't really designed with kids in mind. ;) Keira will probably enjoy it more in a few years.<br /><br />I was watching a TV show last night about the way our brains make decisions and I thought of Caitlin, because they mentioned the more options there are, the more difficult it is (which seems obvious, but it was interesting the way they talked about it). Finn's too sweet to be too much of an ogre about the whole major thing, so I think that will be okay. He's always looked so much like Henry! I should have put glasses on Henry when he was alive to do a true comparison, because I don't think he inherited anything from Araminta at all!<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-32371284900742439292013-06-16T18:48:36.922+10:002013-06-16T18:48:36.922+10:00Looking forward to the lot tour!

It's crazy how fast her teen years flew by. I still haven't fully accepted that Declan was in college, let alone that she's about to be. I am looking forward to seeing more of Kiera though, without all those great looking older siblings in the house, I imagine she will get more of the limelight. <br /><br />The day spa looks great, kids really did get the short stick when it comes to the activities on that lot. But I can't imagine too many kids excited about a spa anyway, so maybe it's sort of realistic. <br /><br />I can see why Caitlyn has a difficult time deciding, I have a hard time making a decision when there are two options sometimes, I couldn't imagine having as many choices as her! Taking it easy is a wise choice, hopefully Finn will relax and realize that too. He reminds me of his Dad the older he gets, very sweet.
