More Snow

Things are getting interesting around here. We are supposed to get some pretty high winds tonight and there is a possibility of prolonged power outages in our area. Paul was worried about me and the girls being couped up here by ourselves with no power (he'd be working most of the time) so he thought we should pack up and head to my mom's just in case. Traveling anywhere with 10-month-old (almost) twins is NOT easy. At the very least we need both pack and plays, food, feeding supplies (spoons, bibs, bowls, etc.), clothes, diapers, wipes, toiletries, bottles, a bottle brush, burp cloths, changing pad, toys and the stroller. I spent the morning packing but then we decided that since the roads up there are so bad and it's kind of far (1.5 hours normally, probably a lot longer in these conditions) maybe we could stay at a friend's instead. So now we're just kind of waiting it out and we'll see what happens.

On the bright side, it's beautiful around here and we had fun the other day taking the girls for a walk and letting them play in the snow. We still want to go for a walk in the evening some time and see all the neighborhood Christmas lights. I really hope we don't have to take off and stay somewhere else between now and Christmas.

Transfer Anniversary

Today is the 5-year anniversary of my embryo transfer!  5 years ago today I became pregnant with my girls (I wrote about it in more detail a few years ago).  It was a Saturday that year, also. Olivia and Kayley at 3 days post conception (wish I knew which one was which): And Olivia and Kayley 5 years later: That photo is actually a few weeks old.  I tried to take one for today and this is what I ended up with: {Sigh}

The Girls' Room

So it's kids' rooms this week at Kelly's Korner Home Tours.  Unfortunately, we haven't finished the girls' room make-over.  We recently transitioned from toddler beds to twins.  I would have loved to get bunk beds to save space, but the twin beds were given to us by friends of Paul's parents so we're making do.  They were wood-colored (oak, maybe?) so we painted them white.  It was challenging to figure out how to arrange their furniture because of the alcove/nook thingie on one side.  I couldn't do the obvious two beds perpedicular to the wall with a nightstand in between configuration, so I had to compromise. There are lots of finishing touches still to be done.  We need to replace their dresser, get a nightstand, put up a shelf (ledge) or two and some wall art, and curtains.  We're also going to paint.  I've had my heart set on purple for a long time, which is why I chose this bedding with some purple but not too much, but now...

Senior Prom

Last Friday was the girls' Senior Prom.  A whole group of them met at a nearby park for photos, then they broke off into smaller groups and went to dinner and Prom.  Olivia and her group rented an Air B&B for the night, and Kayley spent the night at a friend's house with another friend or two.
