Dad's Birthday Dinner and Shower Curtains

Yesterday we went up north to Mount Vernon to take my dad out for his 86th birthday, which is the 26th.  Last year at this time we had planned a big family party at a restaurant for his 85th, but it of course got cancelled because of COVID.  So we have only seen him and my step-mom a few times since Christmas of 2019, so it was so nice to see them and visit and go to dinner.  We went to the Olive Garden because the girls love that place and we don't have one very close to us, so we often go there when we are up there visiting family.  I didn't take any pictures--I'm kicking myself for that now.  I really need to have more picture of them and the girls together.  I have a few but not many, and most of them are from several years ago.

Today was just a typical Sunday of errand-running and grocery shopping.  I finally got the girls a new shower curtain for their bathroom (I've been wanting to since we had the painting done back in November).  It's just a plain white, waffle weave from Target.


I have a new one for our bathroom, too, that I bought a month or so ago but haven't put up yet because I also need to change the liner, so I finally bought some shower curtain liners too, and a new bath mat.  A few weeks ago I got a new soap disperser, tumbler (which I use for holding cotton swabs) and toothbrush holder, so once I get the new curtain up I will finally have our bathroom all redecorated (except I still might need some wall art).  I'm hoping to do a before and after post very soon for the master bath as well as other rooms in the house.  I searched high and low for the perfect shower curtain and finally settled on this Hearth and Hand with Magnolia from Target:


I hope the cats leave it alone and don't snag it up like they did with our current one!

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...
