Halloween Party

Our Mom's group had their annual Halloween Party Friday afternoon.  It ended up being a pretty small group due to illness and what-not, but was fun none the less and a great opportunity for the girls to wear their costume more than once (although they will probably wear it around the house a lot, anyway).

Kayley is a Cheetah.  The skirt is cheetah print with a black tulle overlay, and I think it would have looked better with black tights or leggings but she insisted on wearing her cheetah print pajamas.  The white socks of course look dorky but she doesn't have any black socks or shoes so she just wore white sneakers.

Olivia is a Winx Club fairy.  I had never heard of Winx Club (some show on either Disney or Nick, I can't remember, but she found a DVD at the library like a year ago and had to check it out.  It's really for older kids so she hasn't watched it since but saw the costume at Target and really wanted it.




 




 

And by the way, Olivia managed to get her flu shot after all.  Paul took her back to Target the next day and she apparently went through with it with just a few tears.  I was so relieved.

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
