Playdate

We had a playdate today with my friend Laura and her 4-year-old daughter Linsdsay at Coulon Park in Renton (her older son came too which was great-extra eyes and arms!).  I've been there before (took the girls a little over a month ago after dropping a friend off at the airport-it's on the way there/home) but didn't realize they have a really nice, huge playground.  I just knew they had Ivar's and Kidd Valley, a boardwalk by the lake and a bunch of nature trails.  Anyway, it's a really cool park.  The girls had a blast playing on a bunch of stuff we don't have at any of the parks around our house, and loved their fish and chips from Ivar's.  We saw ducks, including a mommy duck with 11 tiny ducklings (so cute!) and turtles.

The girls wanted to hold Lindsay's hand(s).  So sweet.

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
