Big Girl Beds

Yesterday we finally transitioned the girls to their toddler beds.  They were so excited.  I thought they might even take a nap, but I guess they weren't that excited.  Darn.  Anyway, they did very well!  Olivia got up and came into our room around 1:15 AM but Paul just took her back to her bed and she didn't fight or fuss and went right back to sleep.  Still holding out hope that the intrigue will lure them in for a nap today, but I'm probably going to be disappointed again.



We still need to get big girl bedding, remove the wallpapaer border, repaint and hang curtains, but at the rate we're going we should accomplish that approximately one week before they leave for college.

Congrats on the big girl beds. We are still quite a ways away from that here, thank goodness. The thought of my girls being able to get out of bed whenever they want scares the daylights right out of me. Of course, my girls are only a year and a half. :) Glad to hear its going well for you so far though. Sending nap type vibes your way. Good luck.

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...
