Grand Old Day!!!

Wow I got to get caught up!  It is so hard to work and keep up on my blog, I promise that I would much rather spend more time on the blog =)

So this past weekend was a good time!  While we are still waiting for Summer to arrive in Minneapolis, 70 degree temps and lots of rain, we are starting to have fun anyway!!

Friday - After playing with Maci and putting her to bed a little early, Clint and I had an adult night out at our new neighbors.  Eric moved in to the brown house to the left of us (for those that have been to our place).  He is 29 and use to do landscaping so Clint has found a best buddy to help with all our backyard needs, plus he wants to help!!!  He has a really nice girlfriend too but she isnt living there, yet.  He currently has two friends living with him and helping him to "flip" the house himself since it did need some TLC.  We had a great time sitting on his back patio, getting to know him and his friends and being able to keep an eye on Maci through the video monitor the whole time - YAY for technology!  It was so fun to have a fun adult night without having to go far or have a babysitter.  We are really fortunate to have amazing neighbors all around us!!!  I even had a few too many adult beverages for the first time since probably this time last year when we found out Maci was coming!!

Saturday - We mainly ran errands and cuddled with Maci on Saturday.  It was nice to have a slower day together after a crazy work week.  We did go to the mall in the evening to spend almost 2 hours helping Clint to pick out 1 sport coat!  Ugh, who is the indecisive one now??!!  =)  Maci was a great sport as usual and I also found time to pick up a few more things for her.  Of course off the Baby Gap clearance rack like Grandma Gilroy taught Maci's momma.  Maci is definitely one SHARP DRESSED KID, like daycare always tells me!  ;-)

Sunday - What a GORGEOUS day!  The high was like 72 and sunny!  We decided to venture out to St Paul for their annual (40th anniversary) Grand Old Day festival party on all of Grand Ave.  This runs for almost 3 miles in length and has food trucks, live music, games for kids etc.  It was a lot of fun walking up and down the street, seeing friends and listening to the tunes.  Maci even danced with her arms a bit =)

While you cant tell from the picture (Geez Maci and Clint) - they did have a Grand Time!!
