Anniversary, Mother's Day, Slime and Lemonade

May 13th was our 11th anniversary.  After Olivia's dance recital photo shoot, we got a babysitter and went out to dinner at Daniel's Broiler and got a table by the window with an awesome view (it's on the 21st floor), except for it was kind of cloudy that day.  We had a delicious steak dinner and then went into the lounge to listen to the piano player and have a drink.

The next day was Mother's Day.  We went to church and then Paul's parents came over later and we went to an early dinner.  The girls gave me cute cards and pictures they made at school as well as some plants.


Last weekend we had the dance recital that I already posted about on Saturday and then Olivia went to a birthday party/sleepover, so while she was there I took Kayley to Michael's to get stuff to make slime (their absolute favorite hobby right now, other than electronics).  Then we went out to dinner and then Kayley and I were going to go across the street to the pottery painting place while Paul walked home but it had closed early, probably because business was slow due to the gorgeous weather.  So we went home and Kayley made a huge vat of slime instead.


Sunday the girls and their friends all had a lemonade stand.  Like I mentioned earlier, we finally had some great weather after having a positively awful winter and spring.


Now I'm just looking forward to the upcoming 3-day holiday weekend!  I need that extra day SO bad.  I am so behind on everything.  We never go camping or anything Memorial Day weekend because traffic sucks, so we are just sticking around home but we are thinking about a trip to the Outback Kangaroo Farm.  We'll see.

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}

First Snow of 2025

Yesterday it snowed for the first time this year.  I love when it snows when I don't have to go anywhere and can just stay home and admire it.  It snowed more today, and we took Kona out for a walk in the woods.  So pretty.

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...
