Fire Station Tour

Today my moms' group had an outing to the Fire Station.  It was a slow day and there were only two firemen there, and wouldn't you know it right as the tour was about to start they got a call!  So they let us roam around while they left in an aid car and after awhile another fireman showed up to give us the official tour (and might I add this guy was the total cliche of "hot fireman".  Wow.).

Anyway, the girls enjoyed seeing all the firetrucks and gear and loved getting to sit in a firetruck and an ambulance.  As usual, I couldn't get them to look at the camera and/or smile, let alone both at the same time.  They're kind of all over the place in these:

They got hats and a coloring book and crayons

Kayley didn't want to wear her hat but she held it up for the camera

We came out of the grocery store to a big surprise a couple of days ago. Apparently the fireman shop at the same grocery we do (we've run into them several times), and they parked the fire engine right next to our car! :) The girls have been "talking" about it for two days now.

Glad your girls had a good time...and I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that can't get both my girlies to look at the camera - much less smile! - these days. :)

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...
