6th Birthday

We took the girls to Great Wolf Lodge for their birthday, which was February 28th.  That was a Friday, and they didn't have school that Friday because they rotate Fridays with the afternoon Kindergarten class.  So we left Thursday afternoon, spent one night and came home Friday.

It was really fun.  We had a Kid Kamp (or something like that) room, so it had a separate area for the girls made to look like a tent with bunk beds and their own TV.  They were going to share the top bunk but Olivia ended up moving to the bottom one because she was too squished.

They had something called Magi Quest or something where you buy these wands for $17.99 each and then go around the whole lodge pointing them at things to make them light up/say stuff.  They loved that more than the waterpark.  They did enjoy the waterpark, though, and late on the 2nd day, right before we left Olivia got up the nerve to go down one of the more intermediate slides and she loved it and did it over and over after that.

On Saturday the 1st they had a slumber party.  They had 6 friends come but only 2 spent the night.  We had pizza, then cake, then they watched movie and ate popcorn.  They finally went to sleep around 11:00 and got up at 7:00.  We had pancakes and waffles for breakfast and one of the girls who had gone home the night before came back for that.  Everyone had a great time, and it wasn't as bad for us (Paul and I) as I thought it would be.

A Day in My Life

  It's time once again for the Multiples and More Question of the Week:  A Day in Your Life. What is your schedule like? Do you work outside the home or stay home with the kids?   I am very blessed to be a SAHM.  Our schedule looks something like this: The girls get up anywhere between 7:20 and 8:20, but usually around 8:00.  Lately I've been letting them watch an episode of Dora so I can get on the computer and check email, Facebook, etc.  Otherwise they just play for an hour or so and then we have breakfast. By the time we're done with breakfast (fixing, eating and cleaning up) it's usually between 9:30 and 10:00.  We get dressed, and then we go wherever we're going that day (errands, park, playdate, etc.).  If it's a stay home day, I'll usually do a DVD workout while they just play upstairs and then we'll go for a walk or play outside after. Lunch is anywhere between 12:00 and 1:00, and nap is 1:30 or 2:00 to 4:00 ...

A Very Belated 2023 Recap

I guess I took a bit of a blogging break.  I only blogged three times last year and this will be my first post so far this year.  I just haven’t been in the mood but now suddenly I am.  We’ll see how long it lasts. Where to even begin?  A lot has happened since I last blogged.  The girls are about to turn 16, have jobs and are on the verge of getting their driver’s licenses.  We took an amazing trip to Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell and Las Vegas last summer.  We celebrated our 17th anniversary and are closing in on our 18th.  We attended some great concerts, did some fun hikes and have had lots of fun date nights, game nights and girl’s/guy’s nights out.  Ok, I guess that’s not all that much but whatever.  So, I guess to start off my 2024 blogging, I will recap 2023: I turned 54 in January. For President's Day weekend we went to Crescent Bar and from there Paul and Kayley went skiing at Mission Ridge and...

Show Us Your Life - Dining Rooms

It's time for this week's Show Us Your Life, brought to you by Kelly's Korner , and this week it's dining rooms. We have a very open floorplan, so when you walk in our front door the dining room is to the right and the living room to the left, with the fireplace straight ahead.  It's basically all one big room.     I bought the table and sideboard at Dania when I bought my first condo back in 2002.  It looked great in that condo, but for this house I wish I had black dining room furniture.  The table and sideboard are the same color as the trim, and then with the white walls (although we finally got one wall painted) it's just so blah.  And like most other rooms in the house, we have yet to hang curtains (not that we're going to hang them in every room, but we have yet to hang any). Looking in from the kitchen.  Need curtains! Looking in from the living room.  Notice the plastic protector underneath, for when the kids throw their sp...
