Kindergarten Registration

Today I registered the girls for kindergarten! I can't believe they are this old already. We will go back on May 31st for orientation, where they will meet their teacher and see their classroom, and then we go in August for transportaion orientation where they will learn their bus schedule and get to sit in (and maybe ride? Not sure) a school bus. Exciting! I'm not all sad and sentimental yet, but I think I will be on their first day. Right now I'm just excited to have FOUR hours to myself FIVE days a week, vs. only a little over two hours three days a week.

As for my 20 day challenge, I did about 14 minutes of yoga on Sunday and yesterday I rode scooters with Kayley (Olivia was at a friend's house) for at least 30 minutes plus I walked/jogged to the park and back (they rode scooters) and jumped up and down a lot while there to stay warm. I haven't been able to go to the gym so far this week because Paul is working in a different location than usual and it's further away and he gets off later, so he's getting home too late (I could go after dinner but I just much prefer going earlier).

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
