Five Question Friday



1. Do you know how to play a musical instrument?  Yes, I do.  I took piano lessons for something like 10 years and also played trumpet in band from 5th grade all the way through high school.  Yes, I was a band geek and proud of it.  Sadly, I no longer play either.  I'd love to have a piano but there just is no where to put one.  I do have an electronic keyboard that I bought used from an ex co-worker but I rarely bring it out.  The girls have a blast with it when I do, though, so I should play around with it more often.

 2. What is your pet peeve while driving?   Oooh...do I have to pick only one? I hate hate HATE when people don't signal! Ticks me off to no end. It's so inconsiderate and rude. Others include:

Merging onto the freeway at about 10 mph under the speed limit, driving under the speed limit period, driving too slow in the fast lane, and running red lights (especially when making left turns and holding up all the traffic because you're hogging the intersection).

 3. Would you rather have a housekeeper or unlimited spa services?  Unlimited spa services!  As a SAHM, I have time to clean but no money for spas.

 4. Is there a song that you hear that will take you back to the moment, like a junior high or high school dance?  Journey's "Open Arms" always reminds me of dancing with my first boyfriend at our 8th grade graduation dance.  Pretty much anything 80s reminds me of either Junior High or High School.

5. What song best represents your life right now?  Hmmm.  I have no idea.  If there is a song out there about finally living the dream, that would be it.  I mean, I thoroughly enjoyed my single life and had so much fun, but my dream was always to get married, have a family and live in house with a yard in a subdivision.  It took 39 years but it finally happened!  Even if our "yard" is basically a narrow strip of grass.  It's fenced and big enough for the girls to run around in so it works.

Fellow trumpet player here! I actually got back into it a couple of years ago, before I got pregnant with the girls. I played two summers as part of a community concert band. We gave free concerts in the amphitheater in the park between Memorial Day and Labor Day. It was so much fun! At least it was fun for me...my hubby HATED how loud my practicing was! HA!

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
