Tuesday the 19th we had a school skating party. We picked up the girls at 5 and headed straight there. They both are starting to really like skating and I don't mind it either. Steve doesn't skate but does help Piper and also socializes with the other parents. We stayed there until about 7:30 and headed home, the weather was starting to get bad at that time too...again.
Presley woke up in the middle of the night staying her stomach hurt. I gave her a tums and told her to go to the bathroom....and an hour later she was puking in bed. :( She then came to our bed with me and Steve went to the couch. Steve had to work that morning, so I stayed home until he got home about 11 and then I headed to work. Presley puked again when she woke up at about 8 but then was just lazy the rest of the day. No fever, no appetite until dinner, never napped and then she was fine after that! So must have been something she ate or something that just didn't sit well with her. We have been lucky (knock on wood) with the kids and sicknesses this year so we just need to get thru the next month of being cooped up, hopefully.
Thursday night I went out with some work people to Iowa Taproom, it was really good and I like the beer selection. A couple of us headed to this very odd bar called The Black Sheep. There are two red crosses on the outside and it's in the basement. It is very dark and smells of incense, but it was good and not busy. I stayed for one and then headed to Lynn's to help Sarah celebrate her birthday with the neighborhood girls!
Friday night we had plans to go out with Sarah, Kyle, Gabby and Brian for Sarah's birthday dinner at Alba! It was really good, expensive but good! After dinner we headed to Quinton's so the boys could watch the Iowa basketball game. We hung out there and then headed closer to home and went to The Boat House for a bit. It was fairly busy, we played some pool and had some shots but were home by midnight.
That weekend we didn't do much. I'm sure the weather was really crappy and cold so we didn't want to leave. On Sunday I helped the girls with their last Kiwi Crate boxes. Presley was this little felt garden, she said this was her favorite of the 3 that she did. It was pretty cute.
Then I helped Piper with hers, pretty sure Presley was in trouble and was spending time in her room during this. Pipers was able the human body. We sewed little organs together, placed them on the poster where they belong and the we made a stethoscope and xray page. She thought it was very cool! These definitely helped keep us busy for a couple hours which we needed!
Every Monday, Steve picks up the girls from school at 4 and takes them to gymnastics at 4:30. I show up pretty close to that time and relieve him so he can go home and get dinner started. Presley's class is from 4:30-6 and Piper's is from 5-6, so it works out pretty well. And I just love watching them, I use some of this time to read but I usually can't stop watching them. Piper got to try the rope and that girl went just about all the way up! I was nervous and just imagining her falling straight to the ground, but she did great! They had testing this week to see if they are in the right class, it is possible that she moves up into Presley's level, which I'm sure Presley will not be impressed by! Presley's level is basically the highest you can go without doing competition and taking classes multiple times a week!
