10

Wednesday the girls turned 10.  Double digits.  A whole decade.  Half way to 20.  More than half way to adulthood.  Crazy.

They didn't want a big party this year.  Instead, they wanted dinner at the Melting Pot with a few close friends and a sleepover with a few other friends.  Done.

So last Saturday we went to the Melting Pot.  Such a fun place and so good, especially the chocolate fondue for dessert!


The girls with our close family friend, Lindsay.




We had Thai take-out (their favorite!) for dinner on their actual birthday on Wednesday and then last night was the sleepover.  And Paul left me alone with them to go night skiing, but that's ok because this morning I am leaving him alone to make breakfast for them while I go to a painting class with a friend.

Their birthday celebrations always seem to drag on for a whole week.  I'm glad it's finally over.

Olivia and her newish friend Leila.  Hard to see, but she got a stuffed pug.  Olivia loves pugs.

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...
