A First Time for Everything

There are actually people in this world who wake up an hour or so before they otherwise would have to in order to work out. Crazy psychos. I guess they like to get it over with so they have their evening free for other things or something. Needless to say, I am not one of these people. I was definitely an after work exerciser when I was working and now I'm a whenever-I-can-fit-it-in-during-the-day exerciser. But today, as I lay in bed at 5:30 having been awakened by Paul getting up and ready for work, I made the very unusual decision to get up, work out and shower before the girls woke up. And it was great! It was so nice to go about our morning routine leisurely without worrying about getting that workout in and still making it to Target (today's errand) and back before lunch. I was thinking I might start getting up with Paul and doing my workout early a few days a week! We'll see. No promises.

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
