Reading List

One of my resolutions is to read more.  A fun thing circulated on Facebook awhile back that was a list of 100 books that the BBC (not sure if they mean the British Broadcasting Corporation or what) says most people will have only read 6 of.  I have read 11, but that still seems really pathetic.  Some of the books on the list that I haven't read even though I OWN them are:

Emma
Pride and Prejudice
To Kill a Mockingbird
Wuthering Heights
Great Expectations
and a few others I swear I had but can't find now.  Might have sold them at garage sale or something.

Anyway, there are also several on the list that I don't own but can't believe I've never read, like Winnie the Pooh, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Little Women (actually, I think I did own that at one time.  Nonetheless, I've never read it), etc.

So, my goal is to tackle this list, starting with those listed above that I already own.  This might be harder than I originally thought, however, as it seems Kayley is starting to nap even less frequently.

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
