Show Us Your Life - Master Bedroom

Kelly's Korner is hosting home tours every Friday. This week is Master Bedrooms. Our Master was one of the first rooms we painted when we we first moved in 2 1/2 years ago (the other being the girls' room, and we just finally got around to painting the living and dining rooms). I love the red wall, but the other walls were supposed to be a dark beige (Eddie Bauer Oatmeal) but ended up having an olive-y green tint that I wasn't expecting. It must just be the lighting in there because we used the same color in the living/dining rooms and there's no green tint at all.

Curtains are on the "to-do" list! I have some (dark red), and a nice Pottery Barn rod, we just need to get around to hanging them!

TV armoire and door to Master Bath

I love the furniture. It's from Dania and was our first major purchase together, a few months before our wedding. I bought the bedding a year or two before we met, so it's been around 6 or 7 years and I'm starting to get a bit tired of it, but now that our wall is red I think it will be hard to find something new that will go with that wall! I don't think Paul is going to want to re-paint anytime soon so we might be stuck with it for awhile.

This is where Kayley has napped for the last almost 2 years, so as not to wake Olivia or vice versa. Now that neither of the girls nap any longer (and even if they did, at 2 1/2 she's obviously getting too big for the Pack and Play anyway and I'd have to come up with something else), I'd like to use this space for a little sitting/reading area with an armchair and lamp (in which case the cedar chest would be moved).

Beautiful space. I had the exact bedding for the longest time - it's gorgeous!!! We just recently redecorated, but I loved, loved that gorgeous bedding. Enjoy your space.

Luther Burbank Park

Last summer a friend of mine introduced me to this cool park on Mercer Island. When we went, we only played at the swimming beach and never explored the rest of the park or played on the playground. So yesterday, we finally went back with a picnic lunch and checked out some more of the park (there's still another section we didn't get to, so maybe next time). The playground was really cool with all sorts of nooks and cranies, and old-fashioned metal slides and ladders. They girls loved it. View from our picnic spot A pyramid with slides on the other side Lake Washington beyond Chair swings--never seen these before I-90 bridge over Lake Washington Trail along the lake leading to the swimming beach Should have brought swimsuits. They were SO sandy and wet coming home.

First Day of 10th Grade

Today was the first day of 10th grade for the girls. Sophomores. I can't believe we only have two more of these. Not counting college, of course. Kayley Kayley again Olivia It has become my tradition to take the day before and the first day off. Back in the elementary days, the day before the first day was "meet the teacher day", so I would always take them to that, then in middle school we would just go to lunch or get our nails done. Last year was their first day of high school, though, so that day was orientation and that brings us up to this year. The day before the first day is "Wildcat Day", which is mostly a freshman and new student orientation. Olivia is in ASB so she had to go help with that, but Kayley didn't go. Instead, her and I took some of her old clothes to this resale store called Plato's Closet to try and sell them (it's similar to a consignment shop except they just pay you then and there and then resell them, instead of o

A Day in My Life

It's time once again for the Multiples and More Question of the Week: A Day in Your Life. What is your schedule like? Do you work outside the home or stay home with the kids? I am very blessed to be a SAHM. Our schedule looks something like this: The girls get up anywhere between 7:20 and 8:20, but usually around 8:00. Lately I've been letting them watch an episode of Dora so I can get on the computer and check email, Facebook, etc. Otherwise they just play for an hour or so and then we have breakfast. By the time we're done with breakfast (fixing, eating and cleaning up) it's usually between 9:30 and 10:00. We get dressed, and then we go wherever we're going that day (errands, park, playdate, etc.). If it's a stay home day, I'll usually do a DVD workout while they just play upstairs and then we'll go for a walk or play outside after. Lunch is anywhere between 12:00 and 1:00, and nap is 1:30 or 2:00 to 4:00 or 4:30. After their nap
