Summer Vacation - Week 8

Paul was supposed to be off all last week but ended up going back to work on Thursday, due to a co-worker being out for heart surgery.  Meanwhile:

Tuesday  - Paul took the girls to the free matinee (Alvin and the Chipmunks) while I ran some errands and went to the Crossroad's farmer's market.

Wednesday - Another hike.  This time we did the Denny Creek hike that we had intended to do the week before.  It was really pretty, and there was a cool area with a small waterfall where you could climb a series of flat rocks to get right up to the bottom of the falls.

Thursday - Shopped for school supplies

Friday - Went to the library for the first time in probably over a month to get our prizes for the Summer Reading Program and Starbucks afterwards.

Saturday - Went to Seattle to Paul's dad's best friend Wes's house to see his son and family that were visiting from New York.  They have 4 kids so there were lots of kids for the girls to play with, and Wes has chickens, so the girls had a blast chasing them around, gathering eggs and they could actually pick one of them up.  It was cute and I wanted to get some pictures but our phone had died.  On the way home we stopped at Red Robin for dinner.

Sunday - church and played with friends.

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...
