Back to Routine, Maci Scores a Big One & Connor Meets his Baseball Team!

Weekdays:

• Monday - Connor still had the day off but Middle School was back at it.  Rosie had her annual vet appointment that Connor and Clint ran her to while I was at the office and Maci at school.  That evening I had happy hour with my former CIO partner, Mouli. The Bryant’s kindly drove Maci to practice as Connor and Clint had WWE Monday Night RAW at the Target Center with a group of dad’s and boys.  I then picked up Mikah and Maci to return the take favor for pick up on the way home for soccer - it truly takes a village :)

Great Mentor and Friend

• Tuesday - I ran Connor to an orthodontist consult at 730a.  We need to have 2 teeth pulled and then will revisit again in 6 months.  I ran him to school and then headed into the office for a few meetings before our 1.5 day offsite started at lunch.  It was great to see so many familiar faces AND to meet many new people as well.  However, Tuesday-Thursday was socializing and by Friday I was wiped out HA.  That evening we had a team event at Pinstripes bowling/cocktails and food.  Clint managed getting Maci to and from her soccer practice (oh which is finally back outside!)
• Wednesday - Another all day of meetings for me.  I had a work dinner afterward at Crave.  Clint once again managed getting Maci to and from soccer practice - we are back in the thick of summer/spring sports - thankfully baseball wasn’t started yet or this week would have been tough!
• Thursday - Back to regular meetings for me but also a networking breakfast and lunch.  After work I met up with Kari (former co-worker) for Happy Hour and realized I completely over scheduled myself this week HA.  It was great to catch up with her and Clint ran Maci to practice but then I was able to pick her up afterward.

Friday:

• I started my day with my annual physical.  All is good and I’m healthy but dang if that didn’t take forever!  It was a 815 apt and I didn’t get home until a little after 10a.
• Clint golfed for the first time this year in the afternoon - he says it was his worst performance in a long time but still fun to get back out there.
• I was dead by the late afternoon and moved to the couch with my computer and slowly took care of some things before crashing for the week.
• Maci got picked up by Rowan and her mom for a sleepover.  Rowan is a friend from Greenwood but she moved to St Louis Park.  I love that these girls keep in touch and are still good pals even when they don’t see each other often.

Saturday:

• Busy day for me.  I started the day with a massage at 8a - lovely!
• I then headed to eQuality’s farm (board I am on) for a volunteer event.  I planted peppers for 2 hours.  We then had our quarterly board meeting until about 1p.
• While I was doing this, Maci got dropped back at home.
• I hustled home to get Connor to his haircut by 145p.
• No sooner were we done with the haircut, we loaded the family into the car, picked up Aanya and were off to Maci’s scrimmage at 445p.  We met most of the parents for a drink during the 1 hour warm up for our team.
• They scrimmaged against a good NSSA team but we dominated the entire time (typical) but we couldn’t find the back of the net (ugh also typical at times).  They had a stupid corner kick where our keeper touched it but dropped into the back of the net.  We were then down 0-1 and really shouldn’t be.  2nd half came and finally on a break away our own Miss M fired a shot with her left, the keeper bounced it off her legs and Maci flew in for her own follow up and ripped a shot with her left foot to the back right corner of the net - GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• We kept dominating the rest of the game but ended the dang scrimmage 1-1.  Good hustle back from our ladies.  Maci received “Player of the Match” award!  Go Girl!
• We got the kids home and settled and Clint and I were off to Gianni’s for steaks and cocktails - a much needed date night to catch up.
• Our evening wrapped with a few beers by the fire with the Harty party and several other neighbors.

Player of the Match

They wear this deflated ball as a hat and sign it when they get it HAHA

Sunday:

• After a slow morning, we were off to The Ball Park indoor batting simulators and beer/food for the 9u AA Blue team intro party.  Connor reallly liked this one boy Jon who is the coaches son.  There are also like 5 Greenwood kids on our team + his buddy Cal from basketball so Connor is feeling pretty comfy off the bat with this crew.  Maci will do ok too as there are 3 sisters in the 5th grade, just 1 year younger.
• We hustled home to get laundry, groceries and other to dos rolling.  Clint is glued to the final day of the Masters.
• I ran Maci to her soccer practice at 3p and I am writing this update from the parking lot.
• After she wraps, I run her home and join Clint/Connor at his 3v3 sub games in Delano.
• We have a little break for dinner and Connor has his regular 3v3 basketball team games at 720 and 745p tonight.
• Whew!  What a great but busy weekend - we are at the phase of life for sure but we LOVE spring time!!

I head off to KC for work Monday/Tuesday as well so will get to packing after basketball.

Lots of Love, 

C, K, M & C
