Family Movie Night and Other Stuff

Well, this will conclude my Week in the Life series.  It was totally just for me to have a record to look back on, so sorry if I bored anyone to death.  I actually enjoy reading about other moms' days/routines/schedules, but maybe I'm in the minority.

Anyway, this weekend was one of those somewhat rare weekends where we don't have any plans.  Saturday morning we went to the Issaquah farmer's market for the first time this summer, then after lunch I went outlet shopping for fall clothes for the girls while Paul took them to the park.  After dinner we had our first ever Family Movie Night.  We watched Rango, which probably isn't the most appropriate film for a 3 year old, but it's wasn't that bad and I really like Johnny Depp and have been wanting to see it and that's just what we happened to have from Netflix.  I introduced the girls to the thrill of watching popcorn pop.  When I was little I used to LOVE to watch the popcorn pop.  My mom made the best popcorn (popped in oil with a Stir Crazy, and it's all about the popcorn/butter/salt ratio).



Today was church, back to the outlet mall to return something and grocery shopping.  We barbequed burgers for dinner then the girls played outside while we cleaned up/straightened inside and vacuumed the upstairs, since I never got around to it last week.  Now it's almost 10:00 and Kayley is still up.  Sigh.  Oh yay, she just said she's tired.  Off to put her to bed.

Love the popcorn picutre! Looks like such a serious moment though. :)My girls love making popcorn. There is a song called popcorn by "Bare Naked Ladies" that they love to sing while it cooks. You are so right about having the right salt/butter ratio, very important.

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...
