Fall Activities

This fall, Olivia has been participating in soccer (again) and ballet.  Kayley did a volleyball class and Hip Hop.  But volleyball and soccer both had their last game/practice today so I will now have my weekends back to work on my long list of projects!  Yes!  I think they each have one or two more dance classes and then that will be done until January.


Olivia's soccer team did really well this season.  They won every game except one and that was a tie.  (I think.  They may have lost one, not really sure).  Yesterday's game (they played yesterday {Saturday} and today {Sunday}) was tied at zero right up until the last few seconds when Olivia scored the game-winning (and only) goal!  We were so excited and proud!  We also lucked out with absolutely gorgeous fall weather both days.  Yesterday's game was on Mercer Island with awesome views of Seattle and Lake Washington.






Zoomed up (thus grainy) to see Mt. Baker



I never did get any photos of Kayley's volleyball.

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
