Seaside

Awhile back we had some timeshare points we were going to lose, so Paul went ahead and booked a little getaway to Seaside, OR, for mid-September, even though it meant pulling the girls out of school for 2 days.  We left Saturday the 10th after their soccer game and came home Tuesday the 13th.  It was really fun and we totally lucked out with awesome weather!

We spent Sunday just playing on the beach and browsing the shops, and watching the Seahawks season opener.

Cool sand castle some talented guy made

On Monday we drove down to Cannon Beach.  We walked along the beach to the famous Haystack rock, but it was a bit cool and windy that day and Olivia and I had forgotten our jackets so we decided to leave and go back to Seaside.  But first we able to browse a few shops on the way back to the car and decided to have lunch there before heading back.

Tuesday morning we had one last hurrah on the beach before checking out and heading home.




It was nice to have a fun little getaway at the tail end of summer but it really made the rest of the week pretty rough.  I feel like I still haven't quite got caught up on household stuff.  Then again, I never really am but that's another 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...
