Birthday Fun

Today is the girls' 5th birthday.  It's been a full week of celebrating, commencing with their party last Saturday, then their school party yesterday, some fun things today and finally dinner and cake with grandma and grandpa tomorrow!  Wow.  Maybe one day soon my house will be clean again.  Not that it's ever clean for long, anyway.

So since today is their actual birthday, Paul took the day off so we could do some things as a family.  First they opened their presents from us and from my dad and stepmom.  They snowbird in Arizona (live there in a motorhome from September through May) so they just send money and we buy the girls presents from them.

Then a friend that couldn't make it to the party last weekend came by to give them their presents (another Merida dress, so now we have 2, and a Merida wig!  So cool, since the set we gave Kayley didn't come with the wig!) so we had a little impromtu playdate for awhile this morning.  Then we went to lunch at the Rainforest Cafe and then went to Chuck E. Cheese's just to play.  The girls had only been to Chuck E. Cheese's one other time almost 2 year ago for a friend's birthday.  They really enjoyed it, and since it was a Thursday afternoon it wasn't crowded at all which was really nice.

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...
