Back to School and all the busy fall activities - Football, Fall Baseball, Basketball Tryouts & Soccer!

Weekdays:

  • Monday - We got on the road home from Chicago around 930a and made it back around 3p which allowed us time to get those final to dos complete before school started the next day.  Unfortunately, our dryer stopped working as I was trying to do laundry - thankful for Tena letting me run my wet clothes over.  How is it always something?!  Alas, another wonderful summer coming to a close!
  • Tuesday - Day 1 for Connor!  Maci had a virtual day as only the new 6th graders came on day 1 to the school.  Clint was able to recycle our old living room tv with Jim next door - nice to get that out of the house.  That night, Connor had football practice and Maci had soccer practice - right back into the routine.

Maci Ready to Work from Home!
  • Wednesday - 1st Day in Person for Maci! We then had a busy Wednesday night.  The non profit I am on the board of (eQuality) had their annual fundraiser - this time we did a lawn bowling and apps/drinks vs a formal gala. It was a really nice time and so thankful our dear friends the Cassem's came to join us. The Pinkerton's kindly got Connor to and from baseball and Elliana's parents got Maci to a late practice and we returned the favor by being the ride home for the girls at 930p.
Her Turn!

A Pic for the Fusion Program
  • Thursday - We got the AC & Furnace tuned up for the change of seasons and had a chat with our financial advisor about where to pull money from for a car down payment - time to say bye to the Honda Pilot.  That night Connor had a basketball "pre tip off camp" and Maci had more practice.

Friday:
  • Rosie got a nice grooming 
  • Our dryer was delivered just in time for my next weekend loads
  • We spoke with a banker at the credit union for a loan for a new car 
  • We spent the evening outside around the fire at the top of our hill as Clint had a lot of brush to burn - super ad hoc but a lot of fun - even the Hintze's came over to join us :)
Saturday:
  • Connor had a basketball open gym to start the day and while he was there I had a massage - so needed!
  • Maci and I then headed to Clara and Harper's FDP Fusion soccer game - she was like a celebrity HA
  • Maci and I then grabbed lunch and headed to Connor's football game but unfortunately some rain blew in so we sat inside our tent watching.  Mr Connor had 2 sacks on the day and has decided he likes being a Defensive End best :) The team had another W and that makes us undefeated!
  • The weather cleared up and we headed to dinner with our neighbors, the Harty's at Birch's on the Lake - yummy!  Clint and I shared a surf and turf meal and then came back to our house to play some games and have a few more cocktails.

Sunday:
  • Connor had day 1 of basketball tryouts from 800-930a in the morning.
  • We then got a lot done around the house before heading out to his fall baseball double header at 1 and 3p.  We did great against the other Wayzata team and then struggled, per usual, against Minnetonka.
  • I had to listen to the game with a headphone in one ear to watch my Bengals muscle out an UGLY win!
  • Maci and I had to leave part way into game 2 for her soccer training with Julian at 330p.
  • The rest of the evening was getting all the things ready for another busy week of work, school and sports :)

Maci Started to Run a Soccer Camp at the Double Header
Lots of Love,
C, K, M & C
