Friday I got off work early to head to Creston for the Relay for Life walk. Steve's step-sister Emily found out she had skin cancer about 6 years ago and is finally cancer free. Super ironic that I got a call from my dermatologist that afternoon about a mole that came back abnormal. UGH. I've been thru this twice before but really it sucks. So I'll go back for them to remove a larger area in hopes to get all the abnormal cells removed. Hopefully that will be the end of it......in Emily's case, that was not the end of it, but I'm trying to NOT think that way. I was very happy we went to the walk, lots of people, a good set up, got to see the family and the girls were good. We got the hint that Piper was NOT feeling good b/c she didn't do any running off and just wanted to be held, we got home and she had a fever. Boo.
This weekend was Johnston Green Days, so Saturday morning we got up and ready and headed to the parade. The parade is perfect! Not busy, no fighting crowds or fighting other kids for candy. It was only an hour long and we got a TON of candy!
Another sign Piper was not feeling the best. So sad, sat in her stroller for parts of the parade and we found out this girl is SCARED of mascots!
We promised Presley that we would swing by the carnival before we headed home. She loves these rides, thank goodness there aren't a TON of them or we would've been there all day and spent too much money! I rode the tilt-a-whirl with her...I love this ride, however, my 35 year old body does not! I was SO ready for this ride to be over, Presley laughed the entire time and loved it!
So Steve was the lucky winner of riding the next 3 rides with her. The spinning apples (I couldn't even watch them, barf) then this rocking boat, where she wasn't scared at all and didn't even hang on!
And the ever popular merry-go-round.
It was hot, Piper was not happy so we headed home, ate some lunch and then Piper went down for a nap!
We had a babysitter for the night! Carlyn from Generation came over about 5 to watch the girls so we could go out for the night with our friends Brock and Jackie. We met them for dinner at Dos Rios downtown and got a seat on the patio....the weather was perfect and the food was great! Then we headed to the Iowa Cubs game, after the game we went to the High Life for another drink. It was a lot of fun and so good to get out for a 'date night'! The girls were perfect for Carlyn but then Piper woke up in the middle of the night HOT! 102 degree fever. Tylenol, a cold wash cloth and sleeping in bed with daddy would help right? Steve and Piper slept until 10 am! Presley came and woke me up on the couch about 8:45 so we cuddled in the quiet.
Today we did nothing. It was rainy, Steve and I were tired. We had been busy the last 3 days so we were happy to just hang out at home. Of course, Presley thought today was 'boring'....she thinks most things are 'boring' right now....she is like a snotty 13 year old girl. We did have my parents over for dinner, Steve made shrimp tacos which were super good! We chatted and watched the entertainment from Piper and Presley for a while and then we worked on getting them to bed early! Presley did, Piper is still awake.....I just don't think she is feeling the best yet which is not cool with our busy week ahead. So hoping for good sleep and a healthy girl tomorrow!
