The busiest room in the house used to be the nursery, but when Celeste, Evangeline, and Oliver grew up Abigail found that she no longer had the peace of a bedroom all to herself. It really didn't take long for the relatively small household the family owned to fill up. That would have to be something to be remembered when the time for the next move arrived- more space.
A closer shot to get those nice details. Evangeline and Oliver's hair color is the same. Oliver's hairstyle simply makes it appear much darker.
The three cuties being cute.
Allura was hungry but not super starving, and, for once, the ice cream truck showed up right on time. A lovely strawberry cone was gotten, and Allura had to resist the urge to buy several more just to try all the flavors.
Jan zipped on by on her broom while her mother debated on how much she could gorge herself within an acceptable limit.
In the end, Allura stuck to one ice cream cone. There were other things to be done than contemplate dessert. Her pregnancy was in its final stages, and Allura only just finished the few chores that needed to be done before labor struck. An adorable girl with more black hair, Felicity, was born.
Allura had come to the idea that she would complete this pregnancy to see what happened with it to then determine if she would have one last pregnancy afterwards. As it turned out, a baby boy, Quinn, followed soon after Felicity to give Allura a set of twins. Quinn's arrival was all Allura needed to know that, indeed, at eleven children, her child-bearing days were done.
The decision made perfect sense. It was all Allura could do to keep up with everyone. She was heading to bed late at night when she spotted Oliver sneaking out to play on the bee rider.
One of her solid pair of helping hands was departing as well. Another birthday of Timothy's arrived once more.
All grown up and ready to leave...after some cake.
The girls were excited that they dominate the female to male ratio in the house even further. Oliver often played upstairs to escape their monopoly as they constantly took over the living room.
Of course, they only took over the living room until they realized that none of them had worked on their homework one bit. That's when they sat down at the table to cram in what they could before dinner.
Breandon's brother, Kearney, showed up for a visit one day. Allura had heard the brothers were quite competitive. One had to wonder what Kearney's reasons for the visit were after he had most certainly heard by now of the children his sibling had had.
Unfortunately, perhaps, for him, Allura showed no interest in changing her mind. Abigail instead prodded Kearney into helping her with her homework.
Birthday time for the twins!
Felicity and Quinn after their first birthday.
While Tallis had come to visit for a spell a bit ago, it was now apparently time for Blaine to do the same as well. He popped by to see how everyone was doing, and Allura was fine for him staying the night.
It was something she would go on to regret. Blaine also had an annoying megaphone. He didn't use it to make random speeches in the kitchen though. Blaine thought it would be funny to let out a loud shout through it at Evangeline's head. Karma got him as some dust from the megaphone made him cough before he could even turn the thing on.
Evangeline slept soundly, and Allura made her brother go home for the night for a punishment for his poor attempt at a prank.
To catch a break from parenting her children and parenting her siblings, Allura had Abigail babysit on Saturday morning so she could head out to the renaissance festival. Most of her time went into practicing her trick shots so she could be the leader on the scoreboard.
She and her sticky fingers also found a perfectly good violin lying on the floor for her to practice with and eventually take home for the long haul.

You should make Evangeline the heir! It's time for some hair color diversity :)
