Random Updates and Stuff

So other than yesterday I haven't posted in almost a month. Not that that's anything new, but here's what we've been up to in the meantime.

The girls have been playing soccer twice a week, on Mondays and Wednesdays. They have just a few more weeks of that and then they'll be done.

Olivia ready for action

Last week they did the mini cheer camp again. They had to miss one of the 3 practices due to soccer, but they went to 2 and then performed at the high school football game last Friday night. So fun.

Walking out on the field. I think that's Olivia kind of facing backwards and left of her is their friend and then Kayley next to the real cheerleader.

Our stove was down to 2 working burners, plus it had all this burnt on black stuff around each burner than I couldn't get off no matter what I did, and the window part of the microwave door was kind of separated from the metal part (I may have slammed the door a few too many times while frustrated about having to make 3 or 4 different meals or whatever. I won't do that with the new one!) so we got a new stove and microwave. Yay!

Horrible

And after...

Much better!

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
