23 Days

23 days until Christmas.  Day 7 of the Christmas season/this blogging project.  These posts are lame, I know, but I just think it will be fun for me to look back and see a whole Christmas season documented day by day.  

I haven't really done anything all week as far as shopping or wrapping and I'm starting to panic.  But I really don't have that much to go, I don't think.  But it still just always has a tendency to sneak up so fast so I'm still panicking.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the weekend.  We're going to a Christmas party on Saturday but other than that no plans, just hopefully will get some wrapping done and with any luck finish my shopping (doubt it).  I also hope to watch some movies.  I mostly just watch TV shows but lately I've really been into movies, and the last few years I've really been into Christmas movies and try to watch as many as possible.  I also want to bake cookies but then again I don't need to eat them and I don't have anywhere to take them since I work from home.  I suppose I could let Paul take him to his work but he works with very few people (a lot of them work from home, too, right now) so that wouldn't really work.  

Tomorrow after work I head out in search of white elephant gifts for the Christmas party. I seem to be struggling to find anything good.

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
