So we got up and went to the Urbandale 4th of July Parade! I must say I do miss living in Urbandale this this time of year but we parked near our old house and found a spot to sit. I knew exactly how Presley would react, she would be hesitant to get candy and then would be upset that she didn't have any candy. That is exactly how it started! Finally, she sat on my lap and made ME wave for HER. She finally got brave enough to get candy, but not if another kid was going after it too....I guess she is only aggressive with us! LOL! But overall she did good and got a lot of candy! Miss Piper did awesome just sitting in her stroller the whole time and ended up falling asleep.
We had been invited to three parties that afternoon, our neighborhood party, Sam's party in Bondurant and a friends party in Norwalk. We never made it out of our neighborhood (sorry Sam!). It was so nice to meet so many neighbors, we had met a lot of people near our house but this helped to meet so many more people! We joked that we needed name tags with our name and address b/c that is how everyone related to everyone else (I'm Jessica, we live on the end of Moonlight.)!
The house that hosted the party was gorgeous! A huge, nice lot with a pool and so much open yard (including a pond). Presley LOVED the pool (as most of the kids did)! Piper did awesome again by sitting in her stroller playing, talking, eating cheerios.
Look at this happy girl!
I took Piper home about 8:30, we have begun to realize that if she doesn't sleep much throughout the day she usually doesn't sleep well at night and she hadn't slept since 1 pm. Steve stayed a while longer with Presley, even she started to get tired. We were able to watch Hyperions' fireworks from our back deck....they were a little far away, but better than nothing and Presley liked it!
Friday we both took off of work to get ready for vacation, originally we were going to take Presley to daycare for the morning (since it was on my way when taking Piper to the doctor) but when I left the house at 8:30 she was still sleeping so we decided just to keep her home. We got a lot done and started packing!
