Hello hello! Hope everyone had a good weekend! Anyway here's the next chapter. Hope you all enjoy!
Today was the day! It was finally Phil and Lil's third birthday and of course this had the twins in question super excited. With each of them hopping out of their beds, they of course each took their turns to use the potty before making their way downstairs to have breakfast.
After breakfast, Betty helped assist the twins in getting dressed, mostly helping them where limbs or heads got stuck but watched happily as the two managed to basically dress themselves.
"Great job, you two kiddos seem to have gotten the skill of dressing yourselves down packed! High five!" Betty praised the twins holding out both her hands as they both gave her a high five
Betty then made sure to clean up the scattered remains of Phil and Lil's pajamas as she scooped them up off the floor.
"Alright kiddos, you can go play, it'll be time for your party very soon." Betty chuckled, allowing the twins to sprint out of the room
At the same time all the other families were preparing to head over to the DeVille residence pretty soon making sure they collected their gifts and any other necessities for the outing. Soon the Finsters, Greens, Carmichaels, and Angelica, Charlotte, and Drew had all arrived at the residence heading out into the backyard to enjoy the festivities set up outside. Betty, of course, noticed that not everyone had quite arrived yet, seeing as Stu and Didi hadn't arrived yet. Before Betty could ask anyone if they've heard from them, she stopped when she heard the doorbell ring. Quickly turning to head back in, Betty went to answer the door as she opened the door to see Stu and Didi each holding one of the kids and one present in hand.
"Hey Betty sorry we're late, just wanted to put the finishing touches on my gift for the twins. I'm sure they'll love it." Stu apologized as they walked up onto the small porch
"Don't sweat it, you two are right on time." Betty chuckled allowing them to walk in as well
As everyone finally gathered outside, the adults of course went on chatting amongst each other near the table as the younger kids played out in the grass as Tommy and Dil joined the others who were observing the piñata that was hanging from the tree
"Wow! Your Reptar peanutter is just as big as the Dummi Bears one I had at my third birthday!" Kimi said in awe
"I know, we pickeded that ones out together!" Lil giggled
"But weren't we apposed to not be helping our mommies and daddies with stuffs?" Chuckie asked
"Oh and that was afore we asided to go on strike." Phil answered
"Uh huh, but we know our daddy makeded us a big Reptar cake too!" Lil continued
"Wow!" The toddlers said in awe
"Anyways, daddy saided that it'll be a little bit afore we can haves cakey so we can plays something." Phil said
"Neat, what should we plays?" Tommy asked
"Hmm we could plays hot potatlo with the ball, that's a fun game!" Lil answered
"Ooh goods idea." Kimi replied
With that the kids began their game of hot potato, passing the ball around to each other as quick as possible, they even got Samayah in on playing as the ball rolled in her direction. Samayah, of course, didn't necessarily have the motor skills to throw the ball quite yet but she still gave her best effort. However, she only ended up flopping backwards as the ball rolled towards the table.
"Oopsie, me sorry." Samayah apologized, rolling over to push herself back into a sitting position
"I'll gets it!" Savannah exclaimed, toddling after the ball
As the toddlers were preparing to go back to playing their game, Betty called out to all the kids from across the yard.
"Alright pups, gather around! It's time to light the candles and get the real party started!" Betty called out
"Oop we can plays later, come on guys lets get some of that cake." Phil said, ushering the others to follow along
Making their way over to the table, the kids all got settled in their seats at the birthday table. Howard of course saw to lighting the candle on the cake as the adults and kids all together began singing happy birthday to the twins. Once the song ended, Both twins decided to blow out the candle at the same time. They were now officially three!
"Happy birthday, Phil! Happy birthday, Lil!" Everyone cheered as Betty popped off a few confetti poppers
"You pups are another year older, which just means you're another year wiser." Betty chuckled scooping up to hug her two children
The dads saw to cutting and getting plates of cake passed out to everyone as Phil and Lil ended up smooshing some cake in each other's faces making all the adults awe at the site. After a few pictures and video were taken and everyone finished up their cake, it was time for the next best part: Presents!
Clearing a spot on the table, Howard and Betty began bringing over presents from the present table to let the twins open them. One by one the twins open the various presents of toys and twin outfits they got as gifts before finally ending on the final two presents
"Lets see, these ones are from Stu, Didi, Tommy and Dil." Betty said placing the two presents in front of the twins
Of course, each twin took one as Phil opened his first to reveal the magic doodle mat that Didi had picked out.
"Ooh a doodle mat big enough for you two to share, how exciting!" Howard exclaimed, making sure to get everything on film. "What's in the other box, Lil?" Howard then asked focusing the camcorder on Lil
Lil took the opportunity to rip open the wrapping on the present to reveal none other than the Dactar toy that Stu had been working on. This of course got all the toddlers attention seeing at how realistic it looked to the actual Dactar
"Heh, that's the Flying Dactar toy prototype made by yours truly." Stu spoke up, proud of his invention
"We play now?" Phil suddenly ask
"Sure kiddo, go ahead." Betty said
Phil of course took this opportunity to grab the remote control to the toy as he turned it on and began flying the Dactar around the yard. Giggling in delight, Phil got down from the table to go stand out in the grass to watch it fly around the yard in circles. The other kids of course joined as they all happily observed the toy. However, unknowing to the toddlers, the remote control ended up short circuting once again as the toy began going round and around faster and faster zipping past the adults causing them to yelp and panic.
"Oh no not again!" Stu said, diving out of the way of the toy
The toy ended up entering the window that was left open as it ended up crashing right into the lamp on a side table in the DeVille living room.
"Hey, that's what brokeded the lamp over at Tommy's house too!" Chuckie exclaimed, getting the attention of Stu and Didi seeing as the adults could all now understand anything Chuckie and Kimi said
"I'm so sorry about that Betty, I'll pay for it." Stu apologized, as he quickly went to scoop up the toy
"And I owe you kids an apology. It wasn't you who broke the lamp bulb at all." Didi said, turning to the kids as she apologized
As the adults walked away to start cleaning up the mess and getting back to having the party, the toddlers all felt a sense of relief knowing that the true culprit had been exposed.
"You know what this means guys?" Tommy asked
"No more strike?" Chuckie asked
"No more strike!" Tommy answered with a cheer
All the kids began cheering happily knowing they no longer had to continue on with their strike.
"Thank bob, it was getting really hard not to helps. I likes helping." Kimi commented
"Me too, and I just hopes our mommies and daddies learneded that they shouldn't just blames us for stuffs right away." Tommy added
Of course, the rest of the party went on without any more issues as the kids all lined up to get their turns at hitting the piñata. Despite the mishap, Phil and Lil both found this as one of the best birthday parties they ever had!
What other shenanigans will the gang get into now that they're getting close to leaving the baby stage forever? Find out next time!
Also a rare but needed final message from me but I realize that if I go off of what Kimi's speculated birthday would be, she would have turned three sometime between Fugitive Dil and Curse of the Baby Monsters! Of course, seeing as it's been long pass that I thought I'd at least bring it up in this chapter in some way to nod that it did happen even if I didn't write about it.
