Steve met Holly at Caberet in Ankeny to save a table for the singer Jackson Taylor we wanted to watch that night. They had some good bonding time together! Brittney came to watch the girls and then I headed up there to meet them. It was good! A different crowd with some different friends that we rarely see and we ended up not getting home until almost 1?! What were we thinking?
Saturday morning we hung out. The girls were just so naughty this weekend. Everything was a big deal, they couldn't leave each other alone. They whined, they cried, they fought, they got spanked, they got timeouts. It was SO much fun for no one.
We took a risk b/c we had to run to the mall to pick out new glasses for Steve and Presley really wanted to spend more of her birthday money! They actually did okay at the mall but not good enough for us to go to lunch like we were hoping.
They tried on some glasses while we waited. Both will probably need glasses in the future so now we know how cute they will look in them!
Then we had to drive back to Ankeny to pick up the other car (since we both drove the night before, since we have two working cars now!). I took the girls home, Steve went to the grocery store and then we spent the rest of the afternoon/evening trying to prevent WWIII from happening in our house. The idea of movie/popcorn night was completely forgotten with the continuous fighting. I got an hour to enjoy a bath, a glass of wine and a book and Steve did make a great dinner so that was the highlight of the night!
Sunday I got to sleep in! :) Yah! And again a majority of the day was spent trying to keep the girls apart so they wouldn't fight and get in trouble. We thought maybe they were bored, so we tried to keep them busy with lots of different things. Piper and I hung out in the basement, Steve and Presley upstairs, we went sledding for a while in the backyard, we did playdoh, we baked cookies, they would play good together and ultimately something would cause them to fight again. I did laundry and walked on the treadmill (cleaning and working out got me away from the chaos).
They were obviously tired. I think we all were. Steve made another great dinner and Piper was asleep before 8! WHAT? Yes, you read that correctly! Before 8! and Presley followed close behind at 8:30!
Hopefully we can have a more peaceful week, with nicer weather this week maybe we can get outside to run off some energy and decrease the fighting!
Sometimes I welcome Mondays.
