We had a busy week, Tuesday was P's last day at KTC for the summer. Wednesday my mom was nice enough to watch her for the day for us. I had taken Thursday and Friday off to stay home. So Thursday Presley and I had a semi-girls day that was short-lived b/c she just wasn't interested. We went and got back-to-school pedicures with Grandma and then we all had lunch. We still haven't done any back to school clothes shopping so we went to VW Mall. OMG, that girl knows how to push my buttons. We get to the mall and she says she is hungry....you know 15 minutes after we had lunch that she only ate half of! Then we go into the devils' store (aka Justice) and she knows that we have a rule of no glitter (we literally rub our hands on the shirt, if it comes off on our hand, we can't buy it!)...she was more interested in the stuffed animals (because we only have 300 of those!), headbands (because we only have 10 of these that she never wears) and hand sanitizer (can't blame her but we can get that at Target for way cheaper). We did get a couple shirts and headed to Childrens' Place which normally has things that she likes...not this time...she was 'tired of walking'....halfway thru the mall? Yeah, ok. So we found a sale shirt at Von Maur (b/c I had to say no to the $45 dress and the $45 Iowa Hawkeyes shirt, I'm just too cheap to spend that kind of money on a 6 year old).
We did some cleaning and hanging out, played some games, ate some snacks and got ready for Grandma to come over to watch the girls for a couple hours. We bought tickets to go see Jerry in his play and went and got dinner at Malo. Malo was so good, highly recommended!! The play was also VERY good, everyone did a great job and I'm so happy that he had the determination and willingness to commit himself to that experience!
Friday I had both girls home with me b/c of no daycare. I made them hair appointments for that morning to get us up and out of the house at a decent time! Piper only got an inch cut off and Presley two inches, neither one that drastic of a change but they did good!
After the hair appt, it was 9:20....and you don't realize how much is NOT open before 10 until you are trying to find something to keep you occupied before 10 on a Friday! We decided to enjoy the awesome weather and walk around the pond at Jordan Creek. The girls loved it and did so good, next time we need to remember bread to feed the ducks!
Her new smile?! With no upper lip showing? Not sure why, but it is dorky!!
And the hair is still shaggy!
Grandma got them umbrellas and they love them!
Of course, meet the teacher is in the middle of the day....so at 2:30 we went with the rest of Johnston to see her class and meet her teacher. She was nervous but I think a little excited too (heck she agreed to pictures!) So we found her desk and she is excited that she sits hear two of her friends.
(got her teacher in the background!)
After this we went home, Steve worked on the shed and got dinner ready and we just enjoyed the great weather! (This was basically our chance to go to the fair and we made the decision to pass for the 2nd year in a row! Tear!) We had promised Presley a fire pit night before school started, so this was the last chance for this too. She was tired and was asleep on the couch by 10 and that is when some of our new neighbors came over to hang out for a while....and before we knew it, it was 1:30 am! We are too old to do that! :) But it was fun and good to get to know them better!
