Where did the weekend go?

Man, it does not seem possible that we had a 3 day weekend in there! We've been busy with a little bit of everything!
Last Wednesday, Steve friend Brandon was in town for a bartending competition (I'm sorry, MIXOLOGY, that sounds more professional right?). So he went with some friends to check that out, he said it was pretty cool, and he was home by 9:30!
Aren't they cute! :)

Thursday we had parent night at the school....mom came over to watch the girls and volunteered to watch them a little later for us so we could go to dinner afterwards! Thanks mom! It was good to meet all the teachers and hear what the goals were for the kindergarten year. We feel that Presley is right where she should be academically but of course, we worry about her socially. So far she seems to be quiet, but listening and behaving. Her teacher said she is slowly coming out of her shell. Two of the little things the teachers really want the kids to know are #1, tie their own shoes and #2 to know their 5 digit lunch code (BAM! She knows both!)
Then we headed to 1908 Draught House in Johnston, they have a great patio and the weather was perfect for us to enjoy for an hour before heading home.

Friday I worked until 6 and then Steve had a fantasy football draft at 7, so he basically left once I got home! And I was falling asleep on the couch with Presley before 9!
Saturday we hung out. It have been so busy on the weekends that it was nice to not have anywhere to go. We played inside and outside, ran some errands, got groceries and got ready for the babysitter to arrive!
We had our monthly 'date' night with Brock and Jackie, we were joined by two of their friends Kari and Mark. We went to Rube's Steakhouse for dinner, it was good, laid back and we had a lot of time to talk. Then we headed downtown to Up Down, the arcade bar. It was crowded but it was fun! Steve and I found the skee-ball machines and spent some time there and I found my favorite Tetris, I could've spent all night with that game!
Before we headed home we had a drink at the Continental and had mojitos! The weather was perfect so we were able to get a table on the patio and do some more talking before heading home.

Sunday Steve decided to have some people over to hang out, and give him and excuse to cook! So he cooked and we cleaned then Kyle and Maggie came over with their girls and then one of the neighbors came by with their two kids! It was so nice to see everyone and be able to get to know Mike and Tammy a little more! We put Piper to bed and went to the garage to watch the lightening coming in and enjoy the nice summer night...and then the tornado sirens went off! So that put an end to our entertainment!

Monday we didn't do much again, which was fine. We did more cleaning, purging and laundry at home and then I headed out to see my friend Cindy and her twin babies Alicia and Zoe! I spent an hour with them just chatting and holding babies and then headed to Target BY MYSELF! Steve does not like when I go to the store alone b/c I tend to spend too much money! HA!

Overall good weekend with our girlies! There is little quiet time (but lots of laughs!), which is probably why I am awake right now by myself. To enjoy no one yelling at me!
