Day 19

 
On the first of the month, I started a 20-day challenge to do 10 minutes of fitness per day.  I did really well up until last week sometime and then I got consumed with the consignment sale plus the girls had TWO birthday parties in a row last weekend (#s 4 and 5 in 4 weekends with #6 this weekend) and had several days where I didn't get my 10 minutes in, but up until then I had several days where I did way more than 10 so I figure it all evened out.  Today is day 19 and I haven't done anything yet, but yesterday I did 40 minutes on the treadmill at the gym (I was shooting for 45 but I had to pee!) and tomorrow I plan to go to the gym again.  Meanwhile, I'll try to get some Wii in tonight and/or maybe some abs.

I was down 4 pounds as of last Friday (not because of 10 min per day, obviously, but mostly just by watching what I ate) but have since succombed to my weakness for anything Cadbury, so I'm sure I've gained some or all of it back.  Sigh.

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...
