25 Days of Blogging

I'm going to try and blog everyday between now and Christmas just to have something to look back on, not that anything particularly exciting is supposed to happen in that time but whatever.

Today was one of those days that, even though I had dinner made ahead and ready to go in the oven, it was well after 8:00 by the time I got home from work, ate, cleaned up, etc. and could get onto something else.  I didn't even have to make lunches or anything or it would've been even later.  I mean, I know I'm not the only one who deals with that but sometimes I just wish I could come home and just do something besides cook or clean or make lunches or help with homework.

Anyway, the girls watched Rudolph on TV tonight.  We usually just watch the DVDs but it happened to be on so they watched it.  I would have watched it with them but I wrote my Halloween/Thanksgiving post instead.  Then I put the girls to bed and started writing this post, and I never did my 7-minute workout like I said yesterday that I was going to but I'll try to do some crunches and pushups later while I watch TV.  Oh, and I re-weighed today and was down 2 pounds from yesterday.

We put up our Christmas tree, decorations and outdoor lights over Thanksgiving weekend.  Love our fake tree.  Paying $14 one time the week after Christmas sure beats paying $60ish every year!  And we don't have to remember to water it and there are no needles all over the floor.  And people always say they have to have the smell of a real tree but honestly, unless I'm right up against it I can't ever smell it anyway.

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
