Happy 4th of July!

So I took Friday off from work months ago....then over the last 2 weeks realized that neither girl had daycare that day! HA! So it worked out that all 4 of us were able to spend the day together. We slept in and Presley and I headed out to get pedicures...who would've thought there would be so many wedding parties there on July 3rd? Who gets married on the 4th? So we had to wait 40 minutes, she did really good though and after that we headed to Target. We got home about 2 and Piper was still not napping. We knew that b/c she had slept in that she would take a late nap and we knew that if she didn't take a nap that we weren't going anywhere the rest of the night. During the whole time of us trying to get her to sleep, Presley decided that she was going to be mean, naughty, talk back, not listen...we are tired of warning her too many times so we aren't dealing with it anymore! So we decided we weren't going anywhere, then she freaked out about that. Piper finally fell asleep about 3:30, which is just too late. So by the time we decided we weren't going to do anything, we didn't want her to sleep too late...so then we woke her up!
 
We ended the night meeting some new neighbors who are friends with one of Steve's bosses, they were really cool and their oldest daughter is Piper's age. So we were over there for a couple hours hanging out and Presley hung out with the other neighbors who were having a camp out and watching Super Barbie outside on a projector on the side of their house! It ended up being a good night, just staying home but of course they were up too late!
 
We were hoping the 4th would be a little better and it was! We all slept in and hung out, Steve did some cooking and we spent ALOT of time outside hanging out, playing in the water.
I wish her eyes were open, but she is squinting from the sun....my little strawberry blondie!
That afternoon our neighborhood had their annual party. Tim and Shannon have an amazing house and pool and are nice enough to have anyone and everyone over to hang out. The girls had their suits and lifejackets on and enjoyed time in the pool!
 God, I love this smile.
The girls were actually really good. Piper did good in the pool (thank you life jacket!) and Presley had her friend Allie there to play with. Allie is a fish in the water, Presley was more comfortable in the pool this year but still had her life jacket on. We hung out and talked with the neighbors and about 7 my mom came over to take Piper home and put her to bed. Then the 3 of us stayed a couple hours more, even I got in the pool with Presley, it was a good day and night (even with no fireworks).
 
Sunday I was the first one up at 8:30, the girls and Steve slowly started getting up after 9 and we just had another day at home. We kept talking about going and doing something but then time got away from us and the girls were once again owly, so we didn't! :)
