Still Summer

Another sunny, warm day.  Yesterday after preschool Olivia wanted to go to the park but Kayley didn't.  What's a mom to do?  So we flipped a coin.  But then they fought over who got to be tails.  So I picked a number between 1 and 10.  Kayley won, so she got to be tails but it came up heads so Olivia won the coin toss.  But Kayley still didn't want to go, so I suggested a different park that we would have to drive to and she was cool with that except she actually wanted to go to two different parks, so we did.

This was gonna be a pic of just Kayley, but Olivia snuck her mug in there!


Kayley refusing to smile like usual


Today during preschool I went to Costco and it was SO nice to actually be able to browse through the clothes, books and toys.  Tomorrow (and Saturday) is our community garage sale and I can't wait to puruse the neighborhood, by myself.

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...
