Thursday/Friday and the Blue Angels

Thursday was pretty boring. The girls got up really late (Olivia 9:00, Kayley 9:30). Some of the mom's from our Sunday School class do a park playdate every Thursday but since we got up so late it probably would've been over by the time we got there, so we just stayed home and I did housework all day while the girls alternated playing inside and outside (and maybe watched a little too much TV).

Today we met some friends to go watch the Blue Angels practice. It was awesome and the girls enjoyed it.

The Blue Angels perform every year as part of Seattle's "Seafair". I saw them a few times back when I was single but had been about 6 years, because we usually are at Crescent Bar the weekend they perform. But now that the girls are old enough to enjoy it I think we're going to make it an annual tradition.

After the show we stopped for ice cream. When we got home, I left the girls with daddy and went up the street to a consignment sale but didn't buy anything (I'm holding out for a bigger one in October). Then dinner, clean-up, family time, blah blah blah and the girls were in bed by like five after 9:00, which I think is a record for this week.

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}

First Snow of 2025

Yesterday it snowed for the first time this year. I love when it snows when I don't have to go anywhere and can just stay home and admire it. It snowed more today, and we took Kona out for a walk in the woods. So pretty.

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...
