Ski Weekend and Potty Progress

Paul's birthday was Monday so we spent the weekend at his folks' condo at Crescent Bar so we could go skiing at a nearby ski resort.  We left Friday evening, stopped for pizza on the way and then skied Saturday while his parents watched the girls.  I hadn't been skiing in about 4 years, and I'm pretty novice to begin with, but I actually did better than I thought, although I had to quit earlier than I would have liked because it was snowing pretty good and the groomed runs were no longer very groomed, making it a lot harder, for me anyway.  But it was still really fun.

On Sunday he went back up with his parents while I stayed with the girls, and we came home on Monday and they took us all out for his birthday dinner at our local Mexican restaurant.  It was a great weekend.

In other news, Kayley is almost fully daytime potty trained!  It's weird, because just a few weeks ago we were at a total loss, them having just turned 3 and not being anywhere close and adamantly refusing to go most of the time.  Then, all of a sudden, she just started going.  I had one really good day where I was on top of taking her every hour or so and she managed to keep her Pull-up dry most of the day, so the next day I put her in big girl underwear and she stayed dry most of that day, even going completely on her own a few times.  Since then, she's been wearing big girl underwear most of the time (excpet at night or if we go somewhere) and mostly staying dry.  She does have an accident every now and then, but she's doing great for the most part.  Olivia, on the other hand, will still hardly ever go.  We're hoping now that Kayley is mostly trained and wearing regular underwear, she'll be motivated to follow suit soon.

The weather has been crappy all week so we've been stuck inside, which has been a great way for me to get caught up on laundry and housework, but still a little boring.  Fortunately, Olivia loves to dance (and Kayley is usually a willing partner) so they've been able to burn off some energy.

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
