I think I'm in Heaven

A few hours ago a friend of Paul's called up and asks if he wanted to bring the girls and meet him and his daughter at the mall play area for a playdate. Cool! They get to go do something fun and have special daddy time and I get the evening to myself! I'm sitting here with a glass of wine, contemplating taking my first bubble bath in 2 or 3 years. Ooh, maybe I'll paint my toenails while I'm at it! And fingernails, too, because as if that's not enough I have a girl's night out tomorrow with some high school friends that I haven't seen in a long time and because of that, (it keeps getting better and better) Paul is taking the girls to his parents for the WHOLE DAY and will visit some friends while he's there. So I basically have the next 24 hours to myself! That's never happened before! I'm so excited. The mall by where we used to live has a whole bunch of new stores in and around it, so I'm going to go check it out. Can't wait!

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. Olivia and Gavin (just friends) Everyone Just the guys Just the girls Olivia and Kayley
