Weekend to-do List

I'm whined on here before about how I never have time to do much other than work, run errands, fix lunches and help with homework and all that. I always go into the weekend with a list (either mental or written down) of things I want to get done and usually most items go unchecked. So I'm starting a new thing where I will document my list every Friday, and then recap every Sunday or Monday to see what I actually accomplished.

This weekend I want (or have) to:

~~Clean the litter box~~ (done!)
Clean the hamster cage
Purge/clean/organize the fridge
Organize the pantry
Return some boots I ordered on Amazon
Put photos into albums or frames (pretty sure I won't get to this)
Start organizing/tagging items for the spring consignment sale
Read
Do some form of exercise
Go through the stack of mail/school papers that accumulates on the kitchen counter
Find some new recipes, especially freezer meals
Watch the Seahawks!

I will report back on Sunday or Monday and we'll see how many of those things I actually did!

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
