NSC Spring Cup Championship for Maci, Middle School Dance for Maci and Gorgeous Weather!!

Sweet Shots of Maci from Milwaukee Last Sunday

Breaking away for her Goal

Airplane Celebration after Goal

Weekdays:

• Monday - A full week of working from home for me which felt so strange but worked well.  I worked from home Monday after a crazy busy weekend so that I could get caught back up on all the things.  The day was a nasty rainy storm filled day.  There was talk of bad weather than never came.  That caused Connor's practice to be cancelled.  Maci still had her soccer game as they had moved us indoors.  They beat their rivals MTA 4-3 and Maci netted a goal with an assist from Isla.
• Tuesday - Clint headed to Toledo early in the morning to visit his parents.  I helped get the kids off to school and then worked from home to be there for bus drop offs.  Connor had a baseball practice indoors at a batting center since the fields were still drying out.  While he was at his practice, M and I ran to Target to get her all the gear for her middle school dance.  We found out the day before that she can in fact go b/c her Friday tournament game is at 415p so I could get her there about 15 mins late - yay!  She chose a cute blue dress with some sandals and clear purse.

• Wednesday - Another day shipping kids to school and meeting them from the bus.  Clint didnt get home until late so Connor and I hauled Maci to and from her practice at Hopkins High School from 645-815p.  Lots of work for the Thursday game and weekend tournament up ahead.  Thankfully M loves it!
• Thursday - Another day at home but this time Clint was here and I did it b/c of Soccer.  We had to be in St Paul by 530p which is a disaster b/c traffic is always a mess at rush hour.  We picked up M from school at 410p and hauled right there arriving just in time for the 530p warm ups.  It was a gross day to play soccer as the rain started to roll in so all the parents and girls were getting cold and wet.  It was also a bumpy grass field.  Thankfully we pulled out a 2-1 W in UGLY conditions.  It was not our teams best but onward.  We stopped for a late but yummy Canes dinner on the way home and then crashed.

Friday:

• Busy evening for our crew!  I logged off for work at 2p to pick Maci up early from school.  While I was picking her up, Clint ran Rosie to the groomer.
• Maci and I were off to Blaine for her 1st tournament game.  We had enough time to get some Starbucks and while they warmed up, I went with the parents to a "safety" meeting at the local bar.
• It was a chilly game 1 but our girls mounted a 5-0 W and Maci had a goal and assist - she is on fire!
• Maci then changed in the car as we hauled back down to Wayzata for her dance, I got her there only 15 mins late and she was SOOoooo excited!
• I then hustled over to Connor's baseball game in Minnetonka where they unfortunately got in a 0-8 hole in the first inning.  Connor pitched 2 innings and did great but too big of a hole to climb out of so 4-12 loss and a good reminder that you wont win all 32-3.
• I pumped Connor up who was down on the loss.  The boys headed to get malts from Snuffy's while I ran to get Maci from her dance.  She was on a high.  Her date, Hans, bought her an Izzie and gave her a hug goodbye.  She had so much fun with her friends and got many compliments on her dress.

Running in 15 Mins Late

This pic was post dancing so the tomato face is either from dancing or blushing HA

Her date, Hans

He bought her that Izzie drink from the concessions 💓

Cuties

They had a blast!

Saturday:

• We drove separate to Maci's game 2 which was a gorgeous sunny Saturday morning - 915a game time.  I took a walk during the warm up time and Clint/Connor arrived at game time.
• Another great game with a 5-0 W against St Paul and another game with a goal by our Maci.
• Clint and Connor left to be at their 12-2 baseball practice while Maci and I headed to her team event at "The Ball Park" - we had great food, nice drinks and laughs watching our soccer girls try to hit baseballs HAHA
• Maci and I headed home around 1p and I napped while Clint cut the grass.
• Once I was up, our family watched the horses run - dang ours lost again!  Then we went to River Inn for a yummy Saturday night meal in the gorgeous weather.

Maci attracts all the littles 💕

She was playing tag with her teammates but instead started carting Ruby's lil sis, Mae, around

How many soccer players does it take to figure out a batting cage HA

Sunday:

• Semi Finals for Maci at 1045a and they COOKED with a commanding 9-0 W.  Maci had 2 goals in this one.  A right spot right time touch with her foot and then an impressive break away run where she RIPPED it with her left foot into the back of the net with a shaking keeper waiting.
• Maci's former Fusion coach watched from the shade and saw both her goals - So Proud!!!
• We took Connor and JD with us to Panera for lunch after the game and to cool off - now it is HOT and on the turf it feels like you are cooking.
• Once done with lunch and getting some ice cream, he headed to Tavern to meet up with other parents for drinks.  The girls did some walks around Target and then time for the Championship game.
• Back to a HOT field against Park Valley - remember we are playing up in u13 when we are u12.  While they played physical we had the better touches and moves.  We won a commanding 3-0.  That means we scored 22 goals over 4 days and ran a complete shut out with 0 scored on us!  These girls are stars!!!
• We got our medals, shaved their coaches head - a bet he made HAHA and then we got in the car with AC to head home.
• Maci jumped in the shower and to relax while we got Connor changed for 3v3 basketball - we were all dragging HA
• Connor's team won the first one against a good squad and then played some of their Wayzata A1 boys in the 2nd game.  It was so cute to see them laughing and talking smack.  Unfortunately we dropped that one but all good.  
• Connor got home, showered and we all crashed as we watched the Warriors win game 7 - now we know they are who our Twolves will take on.

Back to work and school came too quick this morning!  We love this kind of weather and are looking forward to a stretch of warm temps and sunshine. We hope you are also enjoying your spring!

Lots of Love,
