4th Birthday

Yesterday the girls turned FOUR.  Four.  I can't believe it.  We had their party on Saturday.  Our camera battery died as I tried to snap the very first picture of the day, so I had to charge it for awhile and thus didn't get very many pics, but then again I never do anyway because I end up giving up after the umpteenth attempt to get them to either sit/stand still and/or look at the camera and/or smile normally.
Kayley picked a Spongebob theme...

and Olivia picked Tangled.
I made this from scratch, and tried to do "hair" with yellow frosting.

Playing Hungry Hungry Hippos, and driving the grown-ups nuts with the noise!


Yesterday, Paul took the day off and we took them to lunch at a pizza buffet, then to their Dr. appointment, where they had 3 shots...on their birthday.  In hindsight, I shouldn't have scheduled their appointment on their actual birthday, but I guess I just took what was offered without asking about a different day.  In the future I'll make sure not to do that, but then again, they don't need any more shots (except flu which they get in the fall) until they're 11.

Anyway, after their appointment we went to the Children's museum.  It ended up being a fun day, with the exception of the shots, of course.

Happy 4th birthday to your sweet girls! :) :)

I remember my parents restricted Hungry, Hungry Hippo quite severely...I'm sure I'll understand why, first-hand, soon. HA!

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...
