A Sunny Easter

We had a great Easter.  Miraculously, the weather was beautiful!  I mean, seriously, there are 4 days a year around here that one can pretty much GUARANTEE bad weather:  Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day and...Easter.  But today, it was sunny and in the high 60s.  We were actually able to have our egg hunt outside!  Woot!

Anyway, the day started with us (Hubby and I) getting up around 6:30 (ugh) and showering, getting dressed/ready, etc.  At 7:50 the girls still weren't up, so I woke them up which was going to be hard until I mentioned the Easter baskets that were waiting for them.  They were so excitied.

Happy to get a Jessie (Toy Story) doll

She really wanted a recorder, for some reason

After Easter baskets, it was a mad rush to get to church, but for once we were not only on time but had time to spare.  We went to the 2nd of 3 services, and for the 3rd service I was supposed to help in the girls' sunday school class but they were overstaffed so we were able to leave early to head up to MV to my brother and sister-in-law's house.  The girls just love getting together with their 2nd cousins and they had so much fun playing outside on the tree swings and their outdoor playhouse.  It was a fun day.

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...
