- Monday - Back to work and some form of routine (not super typical in the summer time). I started my day by running Maci to Fusion indoor complex for a training session from 830-11a. She really enjoyed it as a handful of her teammates also attended. After work, I hustled to Prior Lake to catch Connor's team's first playoff game. They beat Prior Lake on their home field 11-8. We got the bats really going in the 3rd when Connor had a beautiful triple followed by Oliver hitting an in the park homerun!!! Great W and we went to the Tin Shed to have pizza, beer and sodas afterward.
- Tuesday - Pretty quiet day time for our crew. Maci went to some FC Pitz soccer training from 430-530p. Clint ran them out there and I picked them up but dang traffic was bad so their coach kindly went an extra 20 mins with them. Elliana, Maci and I grabbed Culvers on the way home for dinner. While we were doing this, Clint and Connor ran up to the middle school to get fitted for football pads and helmet (it's getting real!) and then hustled to a baseball scrimmage in Chanhassen. They did well for a scrimmage with minimal effort really exhorted on either side. Afterward, Connor and Clint joined some families at a local brewery for Tom's birthday. Maci and I chilled at home in the AC.
- Wednesday - Day 1 of TFE Tryouts for Maci. I dropped her off at Hopkins HS before heading into work. I love that the girls all did a major flex and wore their TFE practice kits to show the other girls who already had an advantage. Maci felt she did well! Then I again met them after work at a baseball playoff game this time in Eagan. Eagan was the #1 seed in the playoffs so it could have been a tight game BUT Nope! We were ready!!!! Connor had his best game by far all season! He had 2 doubles, ran in 7 runners through his hits - he batted 4 times and hit 3 and walked 1. Then he came in to relieve in inning 5 and 6 - pitching scoreless innings with zero hits, striking out 3 and walking only one. We beat them 20-5!!! This win deserved celebration so the kids went to dairy queen while I hit up Sunshine Factory for a dinner table. 4 Families then came for a late night dinner and talk of how amazing the boys played. Next game is in Jordan on Monday night!

- Thursday - Day 2 of TFE Tryouts but this one got funky thanks to some rain storms. They didn't end up starting until 10a and wrapped at 1130 (vs the planned 830-10a). Once again Maci felt strong so now we wait! In the afternoon, Maci got to go get her nails done with one of the other baseball sister pals, Scarlet. Late that afternoon, Clint ran Connor to Ander's birthday party in the neighborhood. I picked up b/c Clint went to watch the house baseball championship since he is the 3rd grade commissioner.
Friday:
- Clint did a chiropractor apt at 930a.
- I was then on a call around 1030a when I realized Maci got the invite to join TFE again!! Within seconds she was out of her room b/c their group team text started blowing up asking who got invited. Our core team all got invited back and we learned we have 5 new girls from all various prior teams - should be a fun year! We are so proud of her for her work ethic, attitude and effort!
- Maci's pal Elliana from soccer came over for a bit as they are crocheting together.
- I finished a productive work day and then we were getting ready for the Hamel Rodeo.
- We quickly learned I love going to this but the kids are getting over it and Clint has never enjoyed sitting on a grassy hill in the heat with crowds. Ugh - I got super annoyed with my crew but still tried to make the most of it.
- Before heading home, we drove the kids by the Innkahoots after party so they can see how crazy it gets :)
Pics before the "I'm Bored" started
Not all bad - I scored a new hat via a local vendor!
Maci also got a new flannel, seen in her pic & Connor got a tshirt & sweatshirt
Saturday:
- A clear calendar allowed us to get things done around the house and then Connor's pals Anna and Graham came over around 1230p and I took them swimming over at the Harty's as they are out of town camping this weekend and kindly let us use the pool.
- While they swam, I cleaned my email, prepared for the week etc at their outdoor table.
- Around 230p they were ready to head home, I got going on laundry and they were picked up at 3p.
- We took a quick cat nap and then got ready for the Galzki's Country at the Creek - a big outdoor BBQ event at Nate's (Connor's buddy from basketball & school) house. We ate, played cornhole and helped umpire an intense game of whiffle ball which Maci did a ok in! Connor of course had fun pitching and striking out older kids.
- We headed home around 9p and decided not to head up to the bar and instead watch some tv and relax in bed.
Sunday:
- Started the day with another morning walk - lovely!
- Elliana's parents drove Maci and Elliana to FC Pitz soccer training at 11a.
- Maci is now having lunch with them and crocheting at their house for a bit.
- Connor slept until about 12p and has been chilling as he has HOT baseball practice yet this early evening and then 3v3 basketball starting at 755p.
- Clint has been getting all sorts of yard work done and I am getting things prepared for the week, laundry complete, groceries etc.
- I treat myself to a nail apt late this afternoon and then will enjoy watching Connor's 3v3 before wrapping the weekend.
This week ahead has more baseball games, soccer and basketball camps/training, our 17th wedding anniversary and the 1st state baseball tournament weekend!
Here's to more summer fun!
Lots of Love,
C, K, M & C
