- Monday - I worked from home b/c Connor had his first travel scrimmage right at 5p so I wanted to be able to easily hustle over to the field. He had a super great double and did a stellar job pitching. They beat the other AA team from Wayzata about 18-5. Yay!!! Then Maci and I hustled out early to get her to soccer practice on time.
This is only some of his gear as they didnt wear uniforms for the scrimmage
But this is his hat and he is so cute in this gear!
- Tuesday - Busy but good day at the office for me. Last day of 3rd grade state testing for Connor, wahoo! Maci had Infiniti training at night but thankfully Clint helped with that while I got some work done.
- Wednesday - Maci had her 6th grade state math testing. I had our quarterly biz review for the group I support and then wrapped my day with a happy hour with a co-worker. Connor had baseball practice with Clint and I hustled home to get Maci to her soccer practice at 730p.
- Thursday - Typical day for everyone and at night Clint went out with some of the soccer dads to watch the draft while Connor and I caught it together at home.
Friday
- Productive morning which started with a bagel run for Clint and me
- At 230p, a neighbor who is now running a home design business came over to give a quote for doing a complete redesign of our master bedroom - exciting!!
- Clint ran to pick up Maci from school and then take her to her friend Violet's 12th birthday party at Slick City slide park. He and Connor then ran to baseball practice. I finished working and picked Maci up from the party at 645p.
- Once home, we got laundry and a few other weekend to dos completed since Maci and I will be in Milwaukee for the rest of the weekend.
- Then we all settled in to watch the Timberwolves come up big at home against the Lakers to take a 2-1 lead in the series!!
Saturday
- Connor and Clint were up and out early in the AM for Baseball pictures
- Maci and I got moving around 8a to finish all the to dos/pack and hit the road by 930a. We said a quick goodbye to the boys and we were off. Quick stop at Starbucks and then lots of windshield time.
- It is about a 5 hour drive to the hotel. We stopped at a gas station for some snacks before Connor's travel baseball game at 1145a. Maci kindly read the gamechanger the entire time and they won a crazy 32-3 game against a sad Edina team. Connor had great hits and pitched 2 of the innings with only 1 single and 0 runs. GO BUDDY!!!
- It was then around 2p so Maci and I grabbed some quick Arbys and got back on the road to finish the drive by about 330p.
- We got to the field at 5p for warm ups and the parents enjoyed a "safety meeting" AKA happy hour in the parking lot before the game. Dang if we didn't need more drinks. Our girls came out looking soft and slow. Plus as the sunset it got COLD. We lost 0-5 - OUCH and not our style!!!
- We headed back to the hotel, had some pizza and then hit the hay b/c early game the next day.
Love a good hotel door hang
Pizza Dinner
Sunday
- Up and at 'em in Milwaukee at 6a while Clint and Connor snoozed away at home HA
- We ate some breakfast, filled up waters, checked out and were off to the fields for our 830a game.
- While the girls warmed up, I got gas and then took a 2 mile walk with a group of moms.
- Our girls clearly got a good night of sleep b/c touches were quicker, sharper and lots more talking. Maci subbed in about 1/3 of the way into the 1st half and had a gorgeous flick to her pal Neko and then yelled "one touch Neko" which she did right into the back of the net!!!! Yay 1-0 TFE and an assist for our Maci. Neko and Maci had an adorable hug to clinch it!
- 2nd half, Magoo subbed in around the same time and picked up where she left off. She had a great move at goal and collided with the keeper. No call but the keeper knew to be "anxious" around that #20. Then she had a great in the air win and went to goal down her favored left side. I could see it in her eyes, she was going to goal. The defender kept body checking her but eventually fell and Maci took 2 more touches and just riffled it into the back of the net . . . GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!! She flew around on the field like an airplane, something she borrowed from Mal Swanson on the US women's team.
- Shortly after the whistle blew and we won 2-0!! Maci was named player of the match, again, but this time by the older girl's coach b/c he had to sub for our coach during this WI trip. I think it helped Maci's confidence so much to have that kind of game and for one of the older coaches to give her such props. I was beaming with pride the entire 6 hour drive home!
- We rolled into town around 4p after keeping ourselves entertained by playing a roadkill game to keep us focused and laughing :)
- We went straight to Delano high school to watch Connor in his final 3v3 with the "pink team" - they won the first one through free throws b/c they tied the session and then crushed the 2nd team.
- We came home for a bit, got a few things done and then were off to eat dinner as a family and head to Connor's 2nd 3v3 team games. They crushed team one but then had to play some BIG 4th graders and that humbled them right back down :)
- Got home and CRASHED!!!!
The Dynamic Duo, Goal Scoring Combo!
Maci and Neko
One heck of a team!
We hope you had a wonderful spring weekend!
Lots of Love,
C, K, M & C
