Summer Fun

Last weekend we went to Crescent Bar for the first time this year.  They always do their 4th of July parade and fireworks show the weekend after the 4th, so we were there for all of that.  The neighbors always go all out and let us tag along.  We decorated the girls' bikes and they rode while we walked with them and they did great.

And now that summer has finally come to Western Washington, we've been able to set up the pool, try out our new slip n' slide, and make our first trip to the spray park.  The slip n' slide was given to them by grandma and grandpa and they're not quite ready for it.  They don't get how to run and then go down on your tummy and slide.  It was pretty funny to watch.




That's our new pool in the background.  I was having a hard time inflating it and gave up, but Paul finally got the thing inflated and it's now taking up half our yard.

Paul has the next 3 weeks off work, so we have lots of fun stuff planned.  We want to go to Northwest Trek Wildlife Park and maybe the zoo, we're spending a week in Leavenworth (a cute, Bavarian-themed touristy town) and camping at Lake Tapps again.  It's going to go so fast.

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
