Fun Day

The girls didn't have school today and I failed to plan anything fun to do (wanted to avoid the school holiday crowds at the mall play area and places like Kidz Bounce).  But for the last several months there have been many days where I have all kinds of great intentions to do x, y and z with the girls at home (crafts, games, practice writing their letters, etc.) but never quite get around to it because I end up just doing household chores and what-not while they play.

So today I decided to make a list, and I was going to try and actually do all but one or two things on the list, and we did!  Here was my list:
  • Play a game
  • Do a puzzle
  • Go to Fred Meyer (not because it's fun, but we needed groceries)
  • Dance
  • Practice writing their names and other letters
  • Play with a toy that hasn't been played with in a long time
The only one we didn't do was the last one.  In addition, one of their friends came over and played with them for an hour and a half or so.  To top it off, we got delicious Thai takeout for dinner.  It was a great day.

It's so weird--it already feels like forever since they went to school but it's only been since Friday.

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.

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
