Tackle Football, U of MN Women's Soccer Game, On the Field with the Twins, Corcoran Country Concert and Maci is a Certified Babysitter!

Weekdays:

We are cramming all the things into these final days of summer!

• Monday - Maci had day 1 of her babysitter class in the afternoon.  She was excited to take this course and even more excited to do so with her pals Natalie and Isla. That night, tackle football started for Connor and Clint (Assistant Coach).  Connor is really enjoying the tackle dummies. We will see how the excitement lasts once we get to real tackling.

• Tuesday - Both kids had their 6 month cleaning at the dentist in the morning.  Thankfully they both were cavity free!  I snuck out of work a little early to get my hair cut and colored. Maci had soccer training with her pal Elliana at 430p and Connor had another night of tackle football practice.
• Wednesday - Maci had day 2/final day of her babysitter course which she happily passed after learning CPR.  Natalie came over to hang / spend the night afterward which made for a fun Wednesday evening.  I caught up with my pal Nikki, used to work at Cargill together, over Happy Hour and Clint/Connor once again had football that night.

Neighbor (Sarah) sent me this

She went looking for her son & his friend (also 7th grader)

Seemed Maci and her buddy Natalie were worth exploring one cul-de-sac away HA

• Thursday - I hustled out of work around 4p so Maci and I could get to the U of MN women's soccer game. It was their home opener vs BYU - #24 vs #28.  Maci and her teammates were the ball girls and they had a blast.  Unfortunately, U of MN couldn't hang on to their 1-0 lead and ended up losing 3-1.  Maci said she can totally see herself playing college soccer.  We grabbed a shake on the way home before crashing.

Ready to Work

Friday:

• Productive work day at home for Clint and me.
• Maci and Connor both caught up on sleep and didn't arise until about 11a.
• Clint and Connor went to the batting cages around 1230p.
• Then Connor got dropped at the Movie Theatre to see Bad Guys 2 with his buddy Chuck.
• As soon as he got home from the movie, we were loading up to head downtown for the Twins game.  We got to go on the field at 6p as "All Stars" and then the game was to start at 7p but it didn't launch until around 730p due to a rain delay.  The boys all still had fun and kept sharing how they wouldn't have made some of the errors the young Twins players were :)
• Connor got to have his 1st ever sleepover at his buddy Cal's that night after the game!

Saturday:

• Clint started the day with a massage at 9a
• I slept until 10a and Connor got dropped back at home at 11a
• We did some back to school shopping by stopping at a Wayzata pop up shop
• Then off to Dicks to get Maci some shoes, Connor some crocs and new batting gloves.
• Grabbed a yummy sandwich for lunch and then  home for naps
• Clint and I had to get up to Medina ballroom for Mike's surprise party by 415p - Mike showed at 430p and was totally surprised.
• We had some beers, food and then were off to the Country Concert.
• The night was nice but so much moisture in the air, ruined my hair :) We enjoyed the music and time with friends but called it around 11p

Sunday:

• Started the day with a quick walk and breakfast
• Then Maci and I hit up Target for her back to school supplies and her pal Isla's birthday gift
• I got both their book bags already once I was home and cleaned our shoe cubbies for each of them - Clint is currently dropping bags of out grown shoes/cleats at the Goodwill.
• I ran Connor to Anna's so he could ride with them to Mall of America for her birthday fun at Nickelodeon universe - lucky kid he is!  While I was gone, Clint installed his Owl house in a tree in the backyard.
• I watched some of Clueless with Maci while doing errands around the house.
• Now I am getting prepared for the week, finishing up laundry etc and Clint is running some errands for us.
• Connor gets home around 630p and then we head to his 3v3 basketball at 745p and 810p before wrapping the weekend.

We have another week of summer fun and MN fair up ahead.  Can't believe school is almost back, time does fly!!

Lots of Love,
