Summer Vacation: Week 2

This week was the first week in a long time where we had absolutely no where to be at a certain time.  No school, swim lessons, classes or activities of any kind.  We did drive up to Mount Vernon on Wednesday and had to be up there by a certain time, but the trip itself was voluntary.  Also, both of the neighbor girls that the girls play with all the time were out of town all week, so we had no one over to play, no one showing up out of the blue or knocking on our door at random times during the day.  It was kind of nice.  The girls still got to play with a few other neighbors here and there but it was nice just being able to go about my day and not worry about if there's going to be a knock on the door any minute.

Monday - Still in Portland, went to the Oregon Zoo.

Tuesday - Catch up on laundry and housework, girls played.  Daddy took them to the park after work while I went grocery shopping.

Wednesday - Trip to MV to visit family.

Thursday - Played at home ALL day.  I had thought about going to Target but just decided to hit Fred Meyer after the gym instead, rather than make two trips to Issaquah the same day.

Friday - Played at home ALL day again.  Tried once again to go a few places but the girls didn't want to.

Saturday - Paul did lots of yard work and took the girls and a few neighbors to the park while I was out running errands.  Missed the better part of a beautiful afternoon running errands that normally would have be run during preschool.  I'm already kind of really looking forward to fall.

Sunday - Church, then birthday party at Kidz Bounce.  I took a short nap while the girls watched a little TV.  Had family movie night after dinner and watched 101 Dalmations (the old, animated version).

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...
