Recent Happenings

I need to catch the blog up on some recent happenings.

First, back in April we got a pet hamster. The girls named her "Hammie" (although Kayley insists it is spelled "Hamy"). She's super shy and timid and won't let us pet or hold her, though, so that's a little disappointing but it's still fun to watch her run in her wheel. She also has one of those plastic balls that you can put her in and let her run all over the house.

Second, Kayley finally lost one of her two front teeth.

Third, the girls got their ears pierced.

Fourth, Kayley lost her other front tooth.

Fifth, they graduated from Daisies to Brownie Girl Scouts.

And lastly, they had their first Gymfest at their gymnastics studio last night and Olivia got a first place medal and Kayley got a second place medal (it was one of those events where everyone gets a medal of some sort).

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
