Easter 2013

What a busy day.  The girls got up at 6:30, which is early for them.  They were all excited about their Easter baskets.

They got Hello Kitty stickers, a Barbie DVD, a Winx Club doll (Kayley) and a Winx Club accessories pack (Olivia), a tee shirt, Lego Friends (wouldn't fit so I stuck them underneath the baskets which worked out fine once I wrapped them in celophane) and miscellaneous candy.
 
I made waffles for breakfast, then it was off to church.  After church we headed up to my brother and sister-in-law's for Easter dinner but had to stop at a store first because I had forgotten the candied walnuts for my salad and we needed sunscreen for the girls.  I wasn't able to find candied walnuts so we had to do without.

After fighting some heavy traffic we finally made it to my brother's, had dinner and then the girls and their 2nd cousins had an egg hunt.

After dessert we headed over to Ashley Gardens, the care facility where my mom is, to visit her briefly, and had to stop for gas on the way as well as dinner for the girls because they barely ate any lunch and were starving.  After a brief visit with mom, we headed home, fought more traffic and had to make a potty stop along the way for Olivia (usually they are always for me).

When we got home, the girls played with their new legos for awhile while we unloaded the car and then I gave Olivia a bath (Kayley will take one in the morning) and put them to bed.  Long day.

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
