Snow, Sleepover and Stable

Today's post is brought to you by the letter "S".

It's been snowing a ton here lately, which is unusual for March in the Seattle area except we're a ways East and at 900+ feet, so it's not out of the norm for us.  After being home all day Monday due to getting our DirectTV installed and yesterday just because it was snowy and icky out, I was itching to get out today, so we went to storytime at the library and then to Starbucks.  I also met up with a lady to buy her wooden horse stable that she was selling on Craiglist.  I'd been wanting to get one for the girls but they're kind of expensive, and yesterday I just got to thinking about them out of the blue and decided to look on Craigslist and lo and behold, there it was, in my town and everything!





Tomorrow we are going to meet Grandma and the girls' great-aunt at the mall for lunch and a little shopping, and then the girls are going to go home with Grandma for a sleepover.  Paul and I will have a night to ourselves and then Friday after work he's going to go spend the weekend at his parents and go skiing with his sister (her Christmas gift to him), and I will have the whole weekend to myself!  I mostly want to shop, not necessarily to buy much (although I do have a ton of gift cards to redeem) but I just want to hit a bunch of stores that I never have time to go to.  When I'm not out shopping, I have a bunch of projects to work on including tagging and organizing items for the upcoming consignment sale.  I'm just so excited to have a weekend to myself to do whatever I want.  I'm going to get Thai takeout and eat it while I watch Sex and the City, and I'm going to read some magazines and maybe take a bath.  And I'm going to go to Starbucks one morning and sip a latte while I read a book.

Lastly, here's a cute picture of the girls with Maisy:

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}

First Snow of 2025

Yesterday it snowed for the first time this year.  I love when it snows when I don't have to go anywhere and can just stay home and admire it.  It snowed more today, and we took Kona out for a walk in the woods.  So pretty.

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...
