Garth Brooks tickets went on sale last Friday morning....we knew there would be 6 show announcements and we knew we didn't want the Friday night that he was in town (b/c we get back from Mexico late that Thursday so getting a sitter for Friday night just seemed a little inappropriate!). So like the rest of the Des Moines metro area, at 9:30 we all logged on (me, Steve, Holly, and Sam) to get into a virtual waiting room for tickets. Samantha got 4 for Saturday night and I got 4 for Sunday night, so it all worked out!!!
Friday Steve was able to stay home from work with Presley on her first day of spring break. After trying for Garth tickets they went to Bass Pro Shop, walked around and then went bowling! She loved it! Then they went out to lunch and got ice cream....I was happy they were able to have a daddy/daughter day together!
Friday night I got home and the weather was SO nice and EVERYONE in the neighborhood was out and about in the cul-de-sac. At one point there were 13 kids ages 12 years-7 months....and only 3 of them were boys! :)
Slowly as the sun went down some people wandered home but some how we ended up with a couple neighbors and their kids hanging out until almost 10. Jason and Wendy moved in a block over last summer and they have 2 little girls, Becca who is Piper's age and Rachel who I think is almost 2...and Kyle brought Collins and Carver over. It was a good night even with unexpected company!
Saturday I took Presley to Target to get some spring/summer clothes, we got some dresses and a couple shorts but struck out on shoes, which she really needs! We came home and hung out, did some cleaning and playing and got ready for the people that we had invited over for dinner that night! Brent and Shannon came over with their boys Aiden and Blake and then Sarah brought over Collins and Carver to join the fun too. The food was awesome, it was so nice to visit and hang out and talk while the kids actually went and played!
Sunday morning we slept in and then Steve took Piper to Wal-mart and then to visit his nephew who just had a baby! So Steve is now a great uncle, makes him sound old huh? :)
Presley and I hung out, watched a movie, she played barbies while I read. It was nice to hang out with just her at home for a couple hours!
