Before Summer Ends To-dos

Summer is almost over and I still have a list of things I want to do before it's gone:

Take the girls to Rattlesnake Lake (picnic, walk on trails, play in the lake)
Take the girls to Lake Sammamish State Park (picnic, or just play)
Go to the North Bend Farmer's Market (Thursday nights) for live music/picnic dinner
Thursday night concerts in the park in Issaquah (I would do this with a girlfriend, probably)
Issaquah Art Walk (with girlfriends)

I'm rapidly running out of time. The NB Farmer's Market ends next Thursday, and I'm not sure how much longer the concerts and Art Walk go on but I think the concerts may end in the next week or two and the Art Walk maybe not until early October.

We were planning on going to Rattlesnake tomorrow after church, but we may decide to postpone since we got a last minute invite to go to Lake Tapps today and therefore might decide just to lay low tomorrow, but most likely we'll still go. Busy, busy! One of these days we need to tackle our long list of projects...

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
