Summer Vacation: Week 1

So, we all know how fast the summer flies by. I thought it would be fun to be able to look back and see what all we did throughout the summer (I have tons planned but of course probably won't get to a lot of it), especially since this is the last summer before the girls start "real" school. So, here's a brief re-cap of our first week of summer break.

Monday - Did some learning activities during/after breakfast then played with friends from 10:30ish until 7:30ish (breaking for dinner).

Tuesday - Played at home all morning, then swim lessons and new zip-line park. Home around 3:00, played with A & E for an hour or so, then dinner. Out for frozen yogurt and to the library. Daddy was working late so didn't come.

Wednesday - Up late, at 9:00. Breakfast, played while I got ready, lunch at mall, art museum, park.

Thursday - Played at home all morning, then last swim lesson. Played at park after, then trip to Target.

Friday - Played at home all morning while I packed for Portland, then ran errands after lunch. Played with friends, then Kayley left with Dad to run errands. Olivia and I rode scooters around the block then had dinner. Kayley and Dad ate on the road as it got too late and they were hungry.

Saturday-Monday - Trip to Portland.

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
