Birthday Weekend

What a great weekend! My birthday was Saturday, and birthdays around here always drag out for a week or so, although this year I was able to rein it in to just a weekend. On Friday night, Paul and I had a date night at Earl's Kitchen + Bar. I had been wanting to go there for years and we finally did and it was great. We got the calamari appetizer and then I had steak and tortellini and Paul had a southwest chicken salad. Everything was delicious.

Saturday morning the four of us went to brunch at the neighborhood Irish Pub. That was really great as well. Then the girls went out to get me a coffee from Huxdotter and some flowers.

Paul had got me flowers, too, and I also had some delivered from my best friend.

So many flowers!

In the afternoon Paul and I took Kona for a nice walk and it was a beautiful sunny day. The whole week has been really nice. Then we went to Paul's mom's for dinner and she had got my favorite cake from Costco.

Today we just ran some errands and then watched the NFC Championship game and were thrilled that the Seahawks won! They are heading to the Super Bowl for the 4th time ever and the first since 2015!

That was the icing on the cake of my fabulous birthday weekend!

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
