Connor Baseball Tryouts and More Fickle Spring!

Weekdays:
  • Monday - I worked from home after struggling to get out of bed, darn spring forward!  Clint ran the Volvo in for break repair in the morning.  I was supposed to have an evening dentist apt but they called and moved me up to 4p.  I am glad it moved up b/c it was a really nice day outside and I got to experience a little more by having to get out and about.  That evening Maci had practice at Minnetonka and now that basketball is over, Clint can help with the driving for Maci.  I was so grateful to have an early to relax evening since he took her to and from :)
  • Tuesday - Cleaning lady day!!  It’s also our neighbor friend Tena’s birthday!  I worked from home again as I had about a 5 hour virtual workshop.  Clint and I started the day with a good walk so that I had moved my body a bit before the call started at 9a.  At night, Clint and Connor ran up to the dome for some baseball prep.  Maci had soccer training from 630-730p so I was her driver.
  • Wednesday - Headed into the office as I had some important meetings with Pharmscript, a company we are in the process of integrating into the Optum Pharmacy family.  Then I had our team’s quarterly business review in the afternoon.  In the evening Maci had a late practice from 8-9p.  Thankfully Clint was game to be her driver again :)
  • Thursday - Home again for me!  Busy day of meetings but super productive!  The weather is getting so nice, high 60s today!  Connor had a baseball clinic at 6p while Maci had soccer training from 630-730p.  Maci and I hit up Honey and Mackie’s for some ice cream afterward and then ran a quick errand at Target.  When we got home, Clint had the other 2 Wayzata basketball coaches over for some drinks.  While they were doing that, the Shamoon’s were kind enough to drive Connor home from the baseball clinic.
Friday:
  • This was an at home learning day but gorgeous weather!  We hit low 70s :)
  • I had a super productive morning and then was off to see a pharmacy in the area for another company we are acquiring.  It was great to get outside, visit a new space and then enjoy a drive home with the windows down.
  • I wrapped my day and then Clint and Connor were off to the Dome again for some practice.
  • I hauled Maci to her pal Charley’s birthday party by 6p.
  • I then got to enjoy a house to myself until around 9p when Connor and Clint got home and then Clint ran to get Maci at the end of the party around 1030p.

The girls got sleep masks and decided to “act it out” for Charley’s mom
Saturday:
  • Nice and slow/relaxing Saturday!  Clint was up and out helping with the 7/8th grade baseball tryouts.  While he was gone, the kids and I chilled at home.
  • Around 4p, I started to get Connor ready for his turn at tryouts - he had a 545p slot.
  • While I got him all dressed, Clint ran Maci to the Sheraton Hotel for another birthday party for M - this time it was Lilian’s sleepover.  They went shopping, ate dinner and then swam at the pool at the hotel before hanging out until 130a in the room.
  • Connor thought he did good at tryouts and we will find out by likely Monday if he made AAA (top team), one of 2 AA teams or no travel at all.  Connor is really gunning to just be on a team, fingers crossed for him, he is a tough worker!
  • We had some dinner and watched basketball the remaining of the night together.
Swimming Fun!
Sunday:
  • Clint picked up Maci at 9a from the hotel slumber party.
  • We had some bagels and then Clint and I took a walk - ugh so much colder - sunny but only 29 while we walked.
  • Got some things done around the house and then off to the appliance store to order our new gas stove and a new dishwasher.  Can’t wait for the install post spring break!
  • Now Clint is napping, Maci is playing on her phone, Connor is resting and I am about to shower and lay down myself.  Love a good lazy Sunday afternoon :)
  • Maci has practice at 615p tonight and Connor/Clint are heading to the Timberwolves game for Greenwood Elementary night!
  • I am going to hit the hay early as I have a 7a flight out to Arizona for a quick work trip tomorrow morning.
We hope you are gearing up for a nice spring break in the sun!  We can’t wait for ours in just a few short weeks ❤
Lots of Love,
C, K, M & C
