Summer Vacation - Week 12

6 days to go!  Their school actually starts tomorrow, but all the kindergarteners have assessments this week so they don't start class until next Monday the 9th.  Here was our second to last week of summer vacation:

Monday - Played at home all morning (Olivia looked for friends to play with but no one was available).  After lunch, went to the library, then to Starbucks for a cake pop.  Only they didn't have the right kind, so we had to go to the frozen yogurt place instead, but Olivia still wanted a hot chocolate and I still got a skinny vanilla latte.

Tuesday - Played at home all morning, then with friends all afternoon.

Wednesday - Wanted to run some errands after breakfast, but the girls just wanted to play.  After lunch they started playing with a neighbor girl, but I finally coaxed them into the car around 3:00.  We went to the bank and then the pet store for cat food.  They love looking at all the animals.

Thursday - Went to the free matinee.  This week it was Rise of the Guardians.  The movie was at noon, which means we would have had to eat lunch at 11:00 but we don't usually eat breakfast until at least 9:00, so they just had a snack and then we went to McDonald's after the movie (just for them--I ate before because I didn't want McDonald's).

Friday -  Played with friends briefly after lunch then went to Target.  Whoo-hoo.

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
