First Dentist Appointment and New Bike

The girls had their first dentist appointment today and they both did great! The got their teeth cleaned and flossed and Kayley even got an xray because she has one tooth that never came in, but the permanent one is there and should come in normally so we don't have to do anything. The dentist suggested doing something fun afterward, and making that part of the routine with every visit so they have something to look forward to, which I had been thinking about anyway. I kind of wanted to go to Starbucks for a pumpkin spice latte but didn't want them to have anything, especially sweets, right after their appointment since they had some flouride stuff painted on their teeth and were supposed to wait awhile to have anything to eat, so we went to the library instead, and then to the grocery store (thrilling, I know).

In other news, the girls got a new bike. They had one "big girl" bike already, that was a hand-me-down from their friend Lindsay, and until recently Kayley was the only one who could ride it and Olivia would just ride her trike, but now they can both ride it great and they've been having to take turns which has been a huge pain and they fight over it all the time. I knew there was no way we were going to survive until Christmas so I broke down and bought another bike a few days ago. I thought that they would still fight over who gets to ride the new one, and they do a little bit but not too much, thank goodness.

A Day in My Life

It's time once again for the Multiples and More Question of the Week: A Day in Your Life. What is your schedule like? Do you work outside the home or stay home with the kids? I am very blessed to be a SAHM. Our schedule looks something like this: The girls get up anywhere between 7:20 and 8:20, but usually around 8:00. Lately I've been letting them watch an episode of Dora so I can get on the computer and check email, Facebook, etc. Otherwise they just play for an hour or so and then we have breakfast. By the time we're done with breakfast (fixing, eating and cleaning up) it's usually between 9:30 and 10:00. We get dressed, and then we go wherever we're going that day (errands, park, playdate, etc.). If it's a stay home day, I'll usually do a DVD workout while they just play upstairs and then we'll go for a walk or play outside after. Lunch is anywhere between 12:00 and 1:00, and nap is 1:30 or 2:00 to 4:00 ...

A Very Belated 2023 Recap

I guess I took a bit of a blogging break. I only blogged three times last year and this will be my first post so far this year. I just haven’t been in the mood but now suddenly I am. We’ll see how long it lasts. Where to even begin? A lot has happened since I last blogged. The girls are about to turn 16, have jobs and are on the verge of getting their driver’s licenses. We took an amazing trip to Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell and Las Vegas last summer. We celebrated our 17th anniversary and are closing in on our 18th. We attended some great concerts, did some fun hikes and have had lots of fun date nights, game nights and girl’s/guy’s nights out. Ok, I guess that’s not all that much but whatever. So, I guess to start off my 2024 blogging, I will recap 2023: I turned 54 in January. For President's Day weekend we went to Crescent Bar and from there Paul and Kayley went skiing at Mission Ridge and...

Show Us Your Life - Dining Rooms

It's time for this week's Show Us Your Life, brought to you by Kelly's Korner , and this week it's dining rooms. We have a very open floorplan, so when you walk in our front door the dining room is to the right and the living room to the left, with the fireplace straight ahead. It's basically all one big room. I bought the table and sideboard at Dania when I bought my first condo back in 2002. It looked great in that condo, but for this house I wish I had black dining room furniture. The table and sideboard are the same color as the trim, and then with the white walls (although we finally got one wall painted) it's just so blah. And like most other rooms in the house, we have yet to hang curtains (not that we're going to hang them in every room, but we have yet to hang any). Looking in from the kitchen. Need curtains! Looking in from the living room. Notice the plastic protector underneath, for when the kids throw their sp...
