DAD IS HOME!

This work week went by so fast!  Wednesday night I had a networking happy hour so our neighbor Stephen watched Maci for me and on Thursday afternoon we had a "World Cup" soccer tournament at work which was fun but has left me sore still heading into Monday HA  Finally it was Friday and Clint safely returned around 10a.  After getting home, showering, cleaning up the house a bit - he picked up Maci early and brought her into Cargill for a Friday afternoon visit.  Clint says that Maci was getting her diaper changed at daycare in the bathroom area but she heard him talking from the other room and started saying "DADDY?!" and then squealed when she saw him, so sweet!  We were all very happy to have him home!

Girl Loved her Ravioli!  

Friday - After I got out of work, I joined the rest of my lil family at Champs for some yummy dinner and of course Maci had her go to mac & cheese.

Saturday - We had our typical errands throughout the day but even more now that dad is back home and we are working on some home projects.  That night Clint and I had our good friends' Trip and Lori's going away party since they are moving with Cargill to Milwaukee in early August.  It was a great party and the house we were at was GORGEOUS and they were amazing hosts!  Stephen from next door watched Maci again, we can't have him leave to college in a few weeks!!!!  =(

Sunday - Today we had the 5k Color Run which was a part of the MLB All Star Game weekend since the game is here in Minneapolis this year.  This was really fun!  It was good that I didn't figure out a sitter for Maci because she gave me an excuse to walk :) but her and I ran through each color shoot together where they splash you with dyed corn starch.  Maci LOVED it and it was soooo cute to jog with her across the finish line.  When she is an amazing athlete one day, I will remind her of these SLOW 5ks with her Momma!  As usual she was quite the star of the show, especially during the after run party where they had color falling from the sky, house party music and she was shaking her booty with several other college age girls.  At one time, multiple people were video taping and taking pictures with our daughter - she may be all over the Internet right now or being used in their promo materials for next year - HA!  We were then super lazy the rest of the day because well running in the sun is exhausting for anyone - let alone someone still sore from soccer and a guy who is still jet lagged :)

Maci had so much fun and this expression isn't doing her fun justice!

 YAY All Star Weekend Fun!

We both have a fairly busy week coming up but this is my last real "busy" week of compensation work so I am almost fully into 1 full time job and not trying to play in multiple spaces which is a good feeling!  Oh and Maci has to wear Vikings gear tomorrow because the mascots are coming to her daycare. . .she is lucky her mom loves these themes and was ok buying her some Vikings gear instead of just Bengals stuff :-)

Lots of Love,
