Birthday Weekend

Monday is my birthday, so I decided that today I would finally use a Spa Finder gift card, one of two Paul gave me for Christmas like 4 years ago, to get a much needed (and, frankly,) deserved massage. Ahhh, can't wait!

My friend Jerri and I are going to have coffee first and then head to the spa, and then maybe grab a cupcake after. Then tonight, we're going out with some other girlfriends for our monthly girls' night out.

Paul and I have to do a daytime outing tomorrow since that's the only time we could get a babysitter, not that we tried very hard. We are going to lunch and then making our annual trip to the movie theather (ha ha)! I think we're going to see The Dilema, since I love Vince Vaughn and I don't think Paul would be the least bit interested in Black Swan or Blue Valentine (one of which the girls and I might see tonight). It should be a fun weekend. I'm really looking foward to the spa, a night out with the girls, and seeing a movie in a theater for once.

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
