Jungle Playland

Today we had our 6th birthday party in 5 weekends.  This one was for their 2nd cousin Taylor and it was at Jungle Playland in Mount Vernon.  The girls had SO much fun.  It a big play place with climbing structures/tunnels/slides, a ball pit, and some video games and ride-on toys (the kind you put a quarter (or token) in) all decorated in a jungle theme.

Cupcakes in the party room

While we were up there we stopped and visited my mom, who was recently moved into an Alzheimer's care place, and then we visitied one of my best childhood friends that I hadn't seen in about a year.  She lives right across the street from the elementary school we both attended, so we took the girls over there to play on the playground.  It was so good to see her again and catch up.

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.

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...
