Never Again

That's it.  I've said it many times before, but this time I mean it.  I am never going to Costco with the girls again.  We went today.  I grabbed a cart and immediately, they both wanted to ride in the back (main part of the cart where you put all your stuff) instead of the child seats in front (and btw, thank you Costco for having carts that hold TWO kids, instead of just one.  I wish more stores had that).  So I put them in, but the cart was too hard to steer and I hadn't even begun to fill it yet.  So I made them sit in the front.  But Kayley started whining that her leg hurt (from the metal bar, I guess) so I tried putting them in the main part again but had them sit further toward the front.  That worked for awhile, but eventually they both insisted on walking.  But they tried to walk right in front of me, helping me push the cart, and that was really hard, and then they wanted to hang off the side.  When they did just walk, they were always lagging behind or getting in people's way or whatever.  It was awful.  We finally managed to get what we needed and get the heck out of there, and then we all shared a chocolate/vanilla twist frozen yogurt.  I hope they enjoyed it, because it'll be awhile before they go back!

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
