Kayley and Mom's Day of Fun

With the girls being in separate classes in school this past year, they have made some of their own friends in addition to their several mutual friends, and sometime one or the other will be invited to a birthday party that the other one is not invited to. Such was the case today. Olivia went to a birthday party solo and I took the opportunity to spend some rare one-on-one time with Kayley. She had some gift cards to Claire's and Target, so our first stop was Claire's. She got a new Beanie Boo and some candy (what else) and while we were there I picked up a few things for some upcoming birthday parties.

Then we went to Mod Pizza for lunch, where amazingly enough I got Kayley to actually smile for a picture:

After lunch we went across the street to Pinkabella Cupcakes for a treat (to bring home, as we were pretty full after that yummy pizza) and then to Target, which was especially crazy being the Saturday before Father's Day, but we survived. So we didn't do anything particularly exciting but it was still nice to have some one-on-one time.

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
