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.

Luther Burbank Park

Last summer a friend of mine introduced me to this cool park on Mercer Island.  When we went, we only played at the swimming beach and never explored the rest of the park or played on the playground.  So yesterday, we finally went back with a picnic lunch and checked out some more of the park (there's still another section we didn't get to, so maybe next time).  The playground was really cool with all sorts of nooks and cranies, and old-fashioned metal slides and ladders.  They girls loved it. View from our picnic spot A pyramid with slides on the other side Lake Washington beyond Chair swings--never seen these before I-90 bridge over Lake Washington Trail along the lake leading to the swimming beach Should have brought swimsuits.  They were SO sandy and wet coming home.

First Day of 10th Grade

 Today was the first day of 10th grade for the girls.  Sophomores.  I can't believe we only have two more of these.  Not counting college, of course. Kayley Kayley again Olivia It has become my tradition to take the day before and the first day off.  Back in the elementary days, the day before the first day was "meet the teacher day", so I would always take them to that, then in middle school we would just go to lunch or get our nails done.  Last year was their first day of high school, though, so that day was orientation and that brings us up to this year.  The day before the first day is "Wildcat Day", which is mostly a freshman and new student orientation.  Olivia is in ASB so she had to go help with that, but Kayley didn't go.  Instead, her and I took some of her old clothes to this resale store called Plato's Closet to try and sell them (it's similar to a consignment shop except they just pay you then and there and then resell them, instead of o

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 or 4:30. After their nap
