Weigh-in Wednesday and Phone Dump

I'm a day late with this but here it is. For the first time in 2 years I have been able to lose more than 5 pounds without gaining it back. Finally. I'm down 2.2 this week, putting my total loss at exactly 7 pounds. SEVEN. Whoo-hoo! My goal for April was to lose at least 5, so yay. Now my goal for May is to lose 5. But really I just need to concentrate on breaking the cycle and not gaining back what I've already lost. I'm still feeling really motivated so that's good.

In other news, we've had some crazy weather around here lately. A week ago it was 70ish and the girls were running around in swimsuits, then Tuesday we woke up to snow. Just a tiny bit that was gone by 10 or 11 AM, but it was 40 something all day. Then yesterday it warmed back up to the low 60s and we're headed toward 80 by Sunday. Might have to break out the pool.

And since it seems I haven't posted other than WIW lately, here's some recent phone pics.

Cleo and Maisy

Yellow Jacket nest on our fence. Has since been removed, but we have 4 more way up high on the eaves of our house that we can't get to.

Our cat might have caught a bird. Not sure if she ate it or if it got away.

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
