Thursday Steve had to work late so I picked up Presley and then Piper, Generation Next was having their 'Simple Supper' night, so they basically serve dinner! Perfect! So we had chicken strips and mashed potatoes, we got to see some friends there and then we MAY have gone to Dairy Queen on the way home! :) We got home and the neighbors were out playing so we had some time to play outside! It was a good night for us girls!
The weekend was busy, but a good one! Friday night Presley and I went to my friend Sarah's house for a little girls night. The weather was nice enough for us to sit on the patio and chat, Presley was very good. I was afraid she would get bored but she took a couple books and her ipad to keep her busy when she needed something to do beside listen to the big girls talk. :) We got home before 9 and Steve headed out to watch the Iowa State game with the neighbor......he didn't get home until 1:30 and was hurting unit Saturday morning.....you know, the morning of our family pictures! I didn't think he would be the one I needed to worry about when getting these long overdue pictures taken!
We met Tawnie, our friend and photographer at the Botanical Center at 10. We met her years ago when we started taking P to gymnastics and her dad we have known for about 10 years! She is SO good with Presley that I knew she would have the ability to make her comfortable and be patient with the girls. The girls actually did pretty good, we were pleasantly surprised....Presley did amazing! The little 'model' in her came out and she was willing to smile, pose and do exactly what Tawnie asked her. Piper did good for a while, then she was interested in stomping in the water, making funny faces and sticking out her butt....so those pictures should be interesting! HA!
After pictures we headed home. We were originally going to pack up and head to Lake Panorama for the night, but Steve insisted that Piper (and him) take naps before we left! :) We got to Jason and Christie's about 4, just to hang out and let the girls play. Steve helped Jason cut down a branch from one of their trees. The effort was not the safest tree trimming I have seen and yes, they put the ladder on the tailgate of the truck and then Steve climbed the tree. Even Presley had a hard time watching!
The girls were awesome. These two play so good together and it is so nice that they are comfortable together and comfortable running around the lake house!
Piper was good too, she would chase the girls around, sit on my lap, help herself to toys and food and even went to sleep in a big bed that night (after fighting us for over and hour to go to sleep, but that is typical even at home)
Sunday morning we got up and hung out for a while, getting home about 12:30. Piper took a good nap, Steve went to the store, Presley played with the neighbors and I did some cleaning and reading! (I'm on a reading rampage these days!) Steve then took the girls to the neighbors to play outside, I did a quick run (not the smartess thing to do in 30 mph winds!), the girls ate a great dinner and then we had baths and got ready for the week ahead!
