Swim Lessons

The girls got swim lessons for their birthday from Paul's parents.  They started last Tuesday and they go twice a week on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.  I wasn't sure what level to put them in so I guessed best I could and they are in P1 (Preschool 1 out of 4), but we realized right away that it is too easy for them, so we asked to move them up to P2 and they assessed them and agreed that Kayley should move up but Olivia isn't quite comfortable enough on her back (floating assisted) to move up.  There happens to be a P2 class at the same time that their friend also happens to be in, but unfortunately it is full.  The person we talked to was going to ask the instructor if they could do an "overage" and add her, or we could take her on Mondays and Wednesdays but then we'd be going there 4 nights a week.  I think that's what we're going to end up doing, though, because we figure 1) it's only for 4 more weeks and 2) it would be good to separate them anyway and let them do an activity on their own and have more one-on-one time with one of us (Paul would take one of them 2 nights a week and I would take her sister the other two nights).  So we'll see how that goes.

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
