Weekending

We had a GREAT weekend!

It all began with Fun Friday.  While Presley had fun at school, Piper and I started our day at Pump It Up.

Our local Pump It Up has 8 bouncy houses, slides, etc.  This was Piper's 1st time to go without Presley.  Since Presley was at school, like at The Tubes, I had to be the one to go thru the mazes, climb the walls, and slide down the very slick steep slides with Piper.  Don't get me wrong....I had fun!  But I did make Piper do some of those things on her own.

This one was fun.....big steep slide on the other side of that climbing wall.

We kept loosing our balance and falling....so Piper and I took a moment to take a fun pic.

Piper won't dare go thru this one....But it's Presley's favorite!

This one is a smaller version of the 1st pic.  I made Piper do this one on her own.  It took some bribing but she did it.

There she goes....up the wall! YAY Piper!

She gets to the top of the wall and the start of the slide and realizes, "Hey, I am really high and would rather not do this...."

So she tries climbing back down the wall.  Little does she know, there is NO turning back!  So, she starts climbing the wall again....

She's a brave horrified little girl! 

Yay!!! She did it and realized it wasn't so scary!

This one was fun too.  Super small and easy for the toddlers.

The noise of the air pumps kept getting to her.   She tried jumping like this...with her ears plugged by her lil' fingers.

This is where she spent most of her time. 

Bouncy Bouncy Bouncy!!!!

This slide was so much fun!  WEEEEEEE.

The only not so fun part is when I skinned my elbow from the friction caused by mine and Piper's speed! 

That was a fun morning and quite a workout!  We didn't stay for the entire 1 1/2 hour session.  Thankfully I had a coupon for a free session.  Piper was ready to head to the mall to go walk around and eat lunch!

Saturday was another great day!  We started the morning by going to watch Presley's friend, Lindsey, cheer.  Oh my they were super cute!!!!  And Presley and Piper got introduced to football. It was like a whole new world to the girls.   And now, of course, the girls want to be cheerleaders.

This picture is so funny...do you see the boys fumbling. Half of the team fell.  BUT OH MY they were cute!

I can't remember any of the cheers, but these girls were adorable!

Presley's new and strong motto!

Lindsey, Presley, and Piper

When we got back home, the girls played outside for a bit.

The weather was perfect for out door activities!

Sunday was open house at the Fire Station #3.   I didn't get to get a whole lot of pics....my camera battery died!

Presley also had a school project to do.  She is Student of the Week, so we had to decorate a poster board with pics of her. 

 

She likes these kinds of projects!  My too....lets me stroll down memory lane!

We had a wonderful weekend!  I hope you did too.

Having Fun and Being Proud!

This morning I had to take care of some Room Mom business, so I left Piper at home with her Pops.  When I got home, I threw some clothes on her and we ran John to work (he left his bike at work yesterday, so he has to ride it home today).  So anyways, I planned a nice morning for her to have some fun.

1st we hung out at The Tubes for a while.  We've been here a few times over the last few months.  I found out about it through another mom that I met at Pump It Up over the summer.  The girls love going here...although the last couple of times we've been, we've been Presley-less.....So Piper gets kinda scared going up in those tubes by herself.  Luckily the last time we went, there was another little girl that played with her.  BUT this time.....it was all MOMMY!  So thankful that those tubes were clean!!!!!  It was tough work climbing thru those tubes too!  But it was all worth it.  Piper had so much fun and the smiles and giggles she had from me having fun with her and climbing thru those tubes were priceless! 

"Come one mom, you won't fall..."

"Put the camera down and get up here!" 

"Here mommy, take my hand.  I'll help you!"  

This slide was never ending and so much fun! 

Just hanging out relaxing! 

 Snack time!

 THE TUBES!

After The Tubes, we went to the Library for Preschool Storytime.

They had a Teddy Bear Picnic today!  If I would have done my homework like I normally do, I would have known that and Piper would not of been the ONLY child without a teddy bear!

I am so sorry Piper.  She had fun regardless though!  She sang, danced, and had great listening ears during storytime.

Jules and I had a wonderful FUN and FREE morning!!!!!!!!!!  She makes me so happy!

After nap time, we went to pick up Presley.  When Presley got home, she decided we needed more mice to put up around the house.  So she got to cutting!

 

OH & BIG NEWS!

She came home a MUSTANG STAR!!!!!!!!!!!

I cried!!!!!!!!  I am so proud if her! 

The Star Students are recognized on the morning announcements and called down for a well deserved accolade from the principals and counselor.  And they get their names on a star in the front hallway!

 

She was so excited when they said her name went out over the loud speakers!

I couldn't be a prouder mom of a kindergartner!!!!

Some Final Spooky Touches....

Oh Boy!!!! I can't tell you how excited that tomorrow is October!!!!  I love HALLOWEEN!  I started decorating this past weekend.  John tried asking me a couple of times if I realized that it was still September!  It's never to early for Halloween! 

Yesterday, Piper got all dressed up in her cowgirl costume from a couple of years ago.  She said, "Okay Mommy, I am ready for our party!"  Poor thing........we aren't having a party this year.....maybe next year.  :(

Then when I picked up Presley from school yesterday, she was begging me in the car to let her have a Halloween party!  Again, Poor poor thing....we aren't having a party this year....maybe next year.   :(

Anyways, Piper and I added some more spookiness to the house today.

Do you see out crow that watches us as we eat????

The unfinished paint job on the fireplace makes it look even spookier! 

We even have little black mice running around!

 And my favorite little guys!  Aren't they darling!

Poor Weebles!   They may not fall down, but they do make good spider food! 

Creepy! 

Tabitha wants to be a bunny this year.... 

So excited!  Can't wait till we decide on costumes!
