The Girls' Bedrooms

Today I'm once again linking up with Kelly's Korner for another home tours post, this time kids' bedrooms. I actually just did a similar post a few months ago when we moved Olivia into her own room so I'm just going to recycle some of that material.

So this is Olivia's new bedroom. It used to be our guest room/office. She chose this sea green color and then we found some cool tie-dye bedding at Kohl's.

We are going to replace this dollhouse/bookshelf with just a regular bookshelf and have already bought one, we just haven't put it together yet. Then we still need to get a desk and some wall art.

Her dresser and doll wardrobe thingie. Eventually we will paint those

closet doors and all the trim white.

And now Kayley's room. This was the room that they shared until recently. Kayley got a new bed and bedding, and a nightstand to match her dresser. I love the bookshelf headboard and the cubbie at the foot of the bed.

The mattress sits too high and covers this bookshelf, but I think it's because we're not supposed to use a box spring with this one. So next trip to the dump we'll get rid of it and then it will look better.

And this is where the desk will go when we get one.

So we still have a lot of work to do but it's a start.

Luther Burbank Park

Last summer a friend of mine introduced me to this cool park on Mercer Island. When we went, we only played at the swimming beach and never explored the rest of the park or played on the playground. So yesterday, we finally went back with a picnic lunch and checked out some more of the park (there's still another section we didn't get to, so maybe next time). The playground was really cool with all sorts of nooks and cranies, and old-fashioned metal slides and ladders. They girls loved it. View from our picnic spot A pyramid with slides on the other side Lake Washington beyond Chair swings--never seen these before I-90 bridge over Lake Washington Trail along the lake leading to the swimming beach Should have brought swimsuits. They were SO sandy and wet coming home.

First Day of 10th Grade

Today was the first day of 10th grade for the girls. Sophomores. I can't believe we only have two more of these. Not counting college, of course. Kayley Kayley again Olivia It has become my tradition to take the day before and the first day off. Back in the elementary days, the day before the first day was "meet the teacher day", so I would always take them to that, then in middle school we would just go to lunch or get our nails done. Last year was their first day of high school, though, so that day was orientation and that brings us up to this year. The day before the first day is "Wildcat Day", which is mostly a freshman and new student orientation. Olivia is in ASB so she had to go help with that, but Kayley didn't go. Instead, her and I took some of her old clothes to this resale store called Plato's Closet to try and sell them (it's similar to a consignment shop except they just pay you then and there and then resell them, instead of o

A Day in My Life

It's time once again for the Multiples and More Question of the Week: A Day in Your Life. What is your schedule like? Do you work outside the home or stay home with the kids? I am very blessed to be a SAHM. Our schedule looks something like this: The girls get up anywhere between 7:20 and 8:20, but usually around 8:00. Lately I've been letting them watch an episode of Dora so I can get on the computer and check email, Facebook, etc. Otherwise they just play for an hour or so and then we have breakfast. By the time we're done with breakfast (fixing, eating and cleaning up) it's usually between 9:30 and 10:00. We get dressed, and then we go wherever we're going that day (errands, park, playdate, etc.). If it's a stay home day, I'll usually do a DVD workout while they just play upstairs and then we'll go for a walk or play outside after. Lunch is anywhere between 12:00 and 1:00, and nap is 1:30 or 2:00 to 4:00 or 4:30. After their nap
