Last Day of Kindergarten

Of course I'm late, but the girls' last day of Kindergarten was the 17th. I meant to do another photo shoot like I did on the first day but since I also had to work that day I just didn't have time. I managed to snap a few pics at the bus stop but that was it. I did weigh and measure them the next day and Kayley was up about 6 pounds and an inch and a half in height, and Olivia was up about 4 pounds and also an inch and a half in height.

The whole crew at the bus stop. Some of those are younger siblings.

The original plan was for Paul to pick them up from school and take them out to lunch or frozen yogurt or something to celebrate their last day, but one of their friend's mom was having a party at her house for all the girls in the class, so of course they wanted to go to that, so we went out to dinner instead at Red Robin.

A bunch of the girls from their class playing dress up. Olivia is in the black/purple witch hat and Kayley is back row center in the pale blue princess dress holding a red spinny thing.

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}

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...

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
