Halloween

Our Halloween started with a "Harvest" Party at school yesterday.  Parents were welcome so I went.  They did crafts, had Halloween-themed snacks and played some games.  It was fun. 

Paul's parents came over for dinner and then they stayed at our house to give out candy while both Paul and I took the girls out trick-or-treating with a bunch of neighbors.  Usually I stay home to give out candy while Paul takes them, so it was fun to get in on the action this year.  We went to all the houses in our immediate vicinity and then drove up the street to another friend's house to see them and enjoy a super yummy pumpkin spice martini.  They didn't have school today so we didn't have to worry about getting them to bed on time, which was nice.
 
Carving pumpkins last weekend



They both wanted to be the same thing they were last year (cheetah for Kayley and Winx Club fairy for Olivia), so I didn't have to buy anything, which was great!  I'm so bad about getting pictures of stuff and they were so impatient, just wanting to go trick-or-treating already.  I wanted to get a picture of the 4 of us but it just didn't happen.  Paul took these first two and one is cute of Olivia but Kayley's being weird and the other one is cute of Kayley but Olivia is sitting with her legs wide open.  Sigh.

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...
