Kindergarten Orientation

Today we had Kindergarten Orientation at the girls' new school. They have 3 friends from our neighborhood that are all in their class. They are so excited. They got to meet their teacher, see their classroom, meet the principal, see the music room, gym and office, and play on the playground.

Then tonight our neighbor's had a s'mores party for all the neighbor kids entering Kindergarten next year (or at least the one's that they know pretty well and have regular contact with). Paul took them but I couldn't go because I already had plans for a long overdue girl's night out. I was bummed to miss the s'mores party but I had a great time out with girlfriends with awesome food and drink.

Next week is their LAST week of preschool. Bittersweet. More on that in another upcoming post.

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...
