Summer Vacation Week 1

I enjoyed documenting every week of our summer break last year so I've decided to do the same thing again this year.  It's amazing how fast it goes and this year's summer break is about a week and half shorter so will go even faster.  Unfortunately, it will likely be less fun since I am now working 3 days a week and won't be able to do as much with the girls as in years past.

So, the first week of summer break was really only a half week.  Monday and Tuesday (the 16th and 17th) were the last two days of school.  Wednesday was my day off and I had hoped to do something fun with the girls, like the splash park or something, but the weather wasn't quite hot enough, and I needed to pack for Crescent Bar, so we just hung around home, I packed and they played with friends.  Thursday I worked while Paul was home with them, and after dinner we took off for Crescent Bar.  We spent the weekend there and came home Sunday afternoon.

The girls spent hours making rubber band bracelets with their CB friends, and made this awesome fort with a belly dancer hip scarf thing as a "doorbell".

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
