Labor Day/Week

Labor Day was a rainy, dreary day. Steve got up b/c he was supposed to play in a golf tournament for The Boat House. He drove there and then the golf course was closed. So they ended up at the bar playing poker instead. They had food catered in and he was there most of the day, too bad he didn't win any money!
The girls and I did very little. I read my book and watched TV on the couch. The girls played SO good! They were playing house/school/restaurant in the basement for a long time and then they wanted to play in the rain. They were out there for over an hour! Just playing, finding worms and having fun! It was awesome to watch them just be kids like that!

Later that afternoon Presley friend Madison wanted to play, the rain had quit so she rode her bike over and they played for bit and then rode back over to Madison's to play some more. Steve got home and we decided to hit up Texas Roadhouse for dinner! It was POURING down rain on our way there! We picked up Presley from Madison's and left her bike, to pick up later! By the time we came home it was done raining. Presley rode her bike home, Piper ran behind her and Steve and I followed them in the car! :)

Tuesday night was Parent Night for Piper. I headed up to the school to get some more information on Piper's kindergarten year. Her teacher is so nice and the perfect kindergarten teacher! So far Piper is the ideal student!

Thursday Presley had soccer practice. Of course, the soccer fields were closed b/c of all the rain so they had it at some school in Urbandale. I put on my work out clothes and running shoes and walked/rain during her long practice.

Friday we had a babysitter. Originally we were going to drive to Lakeside Casino to watch Tesla play but then we decided that we didn't really want to drive that far, so we just stayed closer to home. We had one at The Boat House of course. Then headed to the new Wasabi Chi in Johnston. I love sushi but don't have it often b/c Steve doesn't always like it but he is getting to like it more and more! The place was really nice, busy and the food was SO good!
We had heard there was a pub called Wisco, that is a Wisconsin bar...Badgers and Packers, so I wanted to check it out. It was NOT busy for a Friday night but I think it could be a good place to watch a Packer game at some point!

Then we headed to Saints b/c some of my high school people were going to be there, we stopped by for a beer, to make an appearance and say hi and then headed closer to home and went to The Boat House again. (can you tell that Steve's obsession with The Boat House is worse then my obsession with El Mariachi?!) :)

Some how we didn't end up going to bed until 1 am (we are TOO old for this!). Steve had to get up and work for a bit on Saturday morning and we were both so tired. I laid on the couch and did nothing until about 1, Steve took a nap once he got home and then we got ready to watch the Iowa game. We decided to not really do anything for this game. He made some food, we kicked the kids outside so they didn't interrupt our watching (really they were playing outside with neighbors and running from the neighbor boys) and just enjoyed the game! :)

The weather was so nice this weekend, we ended up at the shed watching some of the Cubs game while the girls played with the neighbors and eventually we were all tired so we headed inside.

Sunday we did laundry, Steve worked in the garage, we played games, they played outside while I read my book. Basically a nice, relaxing day. Presley had volleyball at 3, she says she doesn't want to play but she doesn't complain about it and she knows 3 other girls on her team. We ran to Walmart on our way home then had dinner, picked up the house, took baths and got ready for our week ahead!

And we watched the Packer game. OMG. The stress from that game. I cannot deal with that anxiety at all but we pulled off the win! #xanaxneeded

Sorry, I feel like I did a lot of babbling in this post but I guess I was due.
