Weekdays:
  • Monday - We had a wet Monday which meant football practice got cancelled.  It was nice to have a chill evening at home.
  • Tuesday - I had a super productive day at the office with minimal meetings.  Maci and Connor had their own kind of productive days with Maci getting her new 7th grade iPad and turning in the former 4-6th grade version at school and Connor doing an open gym with the top travel basketball kids.  That night I ran Maci to practice and then attended the TFE parents happy hour to meet the new parents and say hi to my OGs.  While I was at that, Clint and Connor had football practice.  We wrapped the evening with Clint doing one of his fantasy drafts.
  • Wednesday - Busy evening with Connor starting off at fall baseball practice while Clint helped out at football practice which Connor man had to miss. I had a nail apt before having a Chipotle dinner with Maci and then running her to a late soccer practice (830-10p).  Thankfully practice was just at the high school and Clint was willing to pick her up at the end.
  • Thursday - I started the day from home b/c I had my annual dermatologist apt at 930a.  Thankfully no scary moles and I am good for another year.  I got work wrapped and then headed out a little early for the St Paul Saints Game with Connor and his all star team.  This was a gorgeous night and the guys got to play on the actual field for about 30 mins before the game.  We enjoyed ball park food and called it around 10p in the bottom of the 8th when we were losing.

Friday:
  • Thankfully we got to sleep until 8a as we are on PTO!
  • I had to take a quick call at 830a, did a few emails and things around the house before we were off to the Mn State Fair.
  • It looked like rain all day but never did more than a light quick drizzle so the temps stayed super comfy.  
  • We ate more food than need be, Maci rode crazy rides, we watched Connor win a basketball game and throw some crazy pitches before calling it around 5p.
  • Shortly after getting home, Clint was running Maci to her pal Isla's house for her birthday party sleepover.
  • Clint and I took showers and laid in bed watching our show from 7p onward.  We were spent from another wonderful year at the State Fair!

Saturday:
  • Love the weekend!
  • We slept in big time and Clint finally rolled out of bed around 930a to go pick up Maci
  • We did some things around the house and then were off to Connor's 3v3 tournament.  We played in the top bracket and won game 1 but then dropped the next 2 in close match ups.  Connor was on fire and hustling all over - he was a little disappointed in the final 2 games but knows they gave it their all.
  • We ate a late lunch at Noodles and Co and once home, Maci did a quick change and Connor was running her to her TFE teammate Lila's house for a team bonding night of soccer and burgers.
  • I took a quick nap before getting ready for our date night.  We met up with our former coworker Danny and his girlfriend Karlee for a YUMMY dinner at 6 smith!  Great conversation, a lot of laughs and home by 1030p.
Balling Out

Such a talented group of gals
Ready to take on Chicago!

The Crew - This took way too long to make happen~
Sunday:
  • A day of get things done and pull life in order.  This next week is all the back to school prep things - open houses, getting things ready for the first day and packing for Chicago as Maci has the annual Labor Day tourney.
  • At 1p Connor's buddy Mak from basketball came over for a play date b/c Connor couldn't make his birthday party during due to a baseball tourney - they jumped on the trampoline next door, played super Mario in the play room and enjoyed the gorgeous day outside.
  • Mak got picked up around 4p and given the kids were out of my hair, I was getting so much accomplished around this place!
  • Clint and I took a walk around 5p and ordered some Panera for diner while doing so.  We ate on the deck and it was time to get to Connor's final 3v3 of the session.  The boys were on FIRE and Maci even came this time :)  They won both games handedly against some strong competition.  Connor was hitting 3 pointers all over the place, it was crazy!
  • Now we are home, finishing the last load of laundry and about to tune into our latest show - The Morning Show.
We hope you are all enjoying these final days of summer and ready for the transition to fall, back to school and football season!!
Lots of Love, 
C, K, M & C
