Hair

I rarely even attempt to do anything to the girls' hair because nothing (clips, ponytails, headbands, etc.) ever stays in for more than about 2 minutes.  I'm always seeing other girls their age or younger with cute clips, ponytails, etc. that stay put just fine, but when I try anything it never works.  I think I might be able to do pony/pigtails now if I use those tiny rubber bands without any fabric (I have some that have like a terrycloth type fabric covering) so today I decided to give it another try but I couldn't find any of the non-fabric ones.  We'll see how it goes.

 


Olivia wanted a braid (doesn't really show in the picture) but I know it's not going to hold with just a fabric-covered pony holder.

I'm going to keep experimenting and see if I can have better luck.

I've been braiding our girls' hair for the past few months. My husband keeps wanting me to get the girls' hair cut shorter, but it's easier to braid when it's longer (middle of their backs), and it stays up better than anything else I've ever been able to do.

I'm always a little envious when I see pictures of kiddos with gorgeous bows / hairstyles. I feel like I do well to brush the girls' hair a few times a day! HA!

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...
