Labor Day Weekend

Three day weekend! Something we all love! And we had minimal plans, which is even better! Friday night we decided to just chill. We ate dinner, the girls played and then we had movie night at the shed and watched Toy Story 3. We hadn't really realized that Piper hasn't seen the movie since she has been old enough to remember it so she was very into it!
 She loves cuddling with daddy!
Saturday I got up and worked out, Steve ran to Wal-Mart before the Iowa game and then we hung out and watched the game while the girls played and hung out (neither one is interested in watching the game with us?!)
After that Steve headed to the UNI vs ISU game with a neighbor. The girls played and played with the neighbors, at one point we had 6 little girls played in our basement but they all play so good and get along so we don't mind!

We did leave about 3:30 to head out to pick up Presley's soccer jersey's! Then we met Holly, Samantha, Boston and Jordan in Ankeny for dinner. The weather was perfect and the kids were all good. Once we left there we swung by a park for a couple minutes and then headed home.
She wanted to send a 'rock on' picture to Steve! :)
 This is the typical look I get from her these days when I want her to smile!
 she finally caved and smiled at me!
That night we just hung out and watched a movie and cuddled on the couch. Presley still doesn't seem 100% after being sick last week but no fever. Lots of coughing and just isn't herself so hopefully she can get rid of that soon!

Sunday we decided to go to Adventureland one last time and Sam and Boston were able to join us too. It was the last weekend for the waterpark and the weather was supposed to be hot so it seemed like a good idea (to us and everyone else apparently!)
We got there when it opened at 10 and didn't realize the waterpark didn't open until noon, which worked out since we had $20 in arcade gift cards we had to use. So we spent that and won some junk toys and candy and went on our merry way!

Piper was so excited that she was tall enough for the bumper cars, must have been her pony tail giving her a little extra height but she loved it!

We did a couple rides and then headed back to the water park, where we stood in line for 20 minutes waiting for it to open....and the line was insane but we were able to get some good chairs once we got in so no complaints! Piper decided right off the bat that she wanted to go down the big kids water slide....um okay.....she went up there and went down without even thinking twice about it!......This girl I had to FORCE down the littlest slide at the beginning of the year! They all the love slides but Boston and Presley's favorite thing is the lazy river! Lay on a tube and just float, so we did that a couple times, we ate lunch, did the wave pool for a bit and they did more slides.

Our neighbors Matt and Kari showed up with their 3 girls so we hung out with them a bit, did the lazy river a couple more times and then before we knew it, it was closing time for the waterpark! (5 pm) We started on our way out, did a couple more rides but for the most part we were all beat! We got home about 6, ate dinner and all got straight in our pj's and vegged out in the basement for the rest of the night!

Monday I got up and worked out and then we cleaned, the house needed it! Then I made a Target run by myself, which is always nice! Neighbors Sarah and Kyle invited us over to grill out for lunch with other neighbors Wendy and Jason, so we headed over there when I got back and we ate and chatted. The weather was perfect with a jacket on! All the kids played good and actually sat and watched most of a movie (again, Presley still not seeming like she feels the greatest). We headed home about 5, eat some dinner, took baths and went to bed early! It was a good weekend filled with good family time that we all enjoyed!
