Fun Day

The girls didn't have school today and I failed to plan anything fun to do (wanted to avoid the school holiday crowds at the mall play area and places like Kidz Bounce).  But for the last several months there have been many days where I have all kinds of great intentions to do x, y and z with the girls at home (crafts, games, practice writing their letters, etc.) but never quite get around to it because I end up just doing household chores and what-not while they play.

So today I decided to make a list, and I was going to try and actually do all but one or two things on the list, and we did!  Here was my list:
  • Play a game
  • Do a puzzle
  • Go to Fred Meyer (not because it's fun, but we needed groceries)
  • Dance
  • Practice writing their names and other letters
  • Play with a toy that hasn't been played with in a long time
The only one we didn't do was the last one.  In addition, one of their friends came over and played with them for an hour and a half or so.  To top it off, we got delicious Thai takeout for dinner.  It was a great day.

It's so weird--it already feels like forever since they went to school but it's only been since Friday.

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
