A Week in the Life - Wednesday

I woke up at 8:10 this morning, went to the bathroom and was still tired and groggy so I turned on the Today show and crawled back into bed.  I lied there until 8:30 then took a shower.  While I was in the shower Olivia came in and got in bed.  Soon after I got out Kayley got up so they watched Calliou while I got ready and cleaned the whole bathroom.
At 9:30 we went down for breakfast, then we left at 10:40 for our mom's group playdate to Flying Pie Pizzeria, where the girls got to make their own pie.  They were really excited and had a great time.  It was fun to see some of the kids and moms that we haven't seen in a long time.  They really enjoyed playing with one girl in particular so her mom and I talked about getting together at a park sometime in the near future.

After pizza, we went to Target, then came home, had a snack and played.  Paul got home at 3:40 and I went to the gym.  Then it was dinner, clean-up toys (the girls had every. single. toy they have out and scattered all over the entire house, and I'm talking like all the little pieces of Polly Pocket/Strawberry Shortcake clothing and accessories, etc.) and bathtime.

It's almost 9:00 and they're still in the tub, so they're probably not going to be in bed until around 9:30 tonight, at which time I am going to watch some Frasier on DVD (I missed a lot of it when it was on the air so I've been renting it through Netflix) and read.

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
