3 Days


Oops, I slacked off a bit.  But I'm back.  We had a fun day Saturday before last (the 11th).  We needed to go up to Lynnwood (about 45 minutes away) to pick my ring up at Shane Co (I took it in for the annual inspection/cleaning, etc.), so while we were up there we had lunch and did some shopping, and the girls each got a new piercing.  Olivia got her nose pierced and Kayley did her helix.  Not a fan myself, but not the hill I want to die on.  Family outings like that have become increasingly rare so it was nice.

Then, this last Saturday, the 18th, Paul and I met my Dad, stepmom, both brothers and their wives in Everett for dinner to celebrate my stepmom's 80th birthday.  That was so much fun.  We went to a restaurant on the water with a nice view and had a delicious seafood dinner, and it was so fun to see them all at the same time because usually it's the entire family or just a few at any given time.

Sunday the four of us took Paul's mom out to Olive Garden for HER birthday, which was actually Saturday, whereas my stepmom's was actually Sunday but it just worked out that we had to swap days.  So it was a busy weekend but fun.  Now the girls are on Christmas break but Olivia is sick.  Paul was going to take them to Crescent Bar Moday and then skiing today at Mission Ridge but couldn't because of y  her being sick.  So much for me having a nice quite house for a day and a half, especially since I'm still working this week.  Oh well.

Anyway, only 1 more working day.  4 working days until the end of the year (I'm taking the 30th off)!
 
I've been wrapping like crazy the last few days and now I just have one gift left to wrap.  Yay.


This picture of Maisy has nothing to do with anything but it's funny because of the way the cat tree is obviously not engineered for a cat of her size.

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...
