Clint left for Africa last Sunday =( While we really miss him, Miss M and I have had some nice mommy/daughter bonding time too . . . with only a few temper tantrums in-between. This past work week was fairly quiet which was nice since I had to be mom and dad all week long. Most people took Thursday off work to make it a 4 day weekend so I was able to get caught up on some outstanding items. Maci and I then kicked off our fun weekend plans!
Thursday night - Maci and I ate Chipotle (she loves the Taco Kit off the kids menu) and then when she went to bed, I got a ton of work stuff done, definitely sounds nerdy but it felt good to know I got something checked off my to do list when I had nothing else to be doing besides catching up on some old movies in the background :) However, I lost my mind and stayed up until 1a and totally forgot I had a child that will wake up by 6a so I started a tail spin of too little sleep all weekend long :(
SO MUCH HAIR!
Friday - HAPPY 4th! Maci and I got some Bruegger bagel for breakfast, played at the house and ordered pizza for dinner. We had a pretty chill day just the two of us before we headed to fireworks that night with Maci's best friend Natalie and her parents. Maci LOVED fireworks. . . she kept saying Ohhhh and BOOM! It was cute to watch how in awe she was of the whole experience, glad we stayed up until 10p to see them ;-)

Maci is way too into what is going on in the sky!
Maci's "Sub" for the weekend!
Saturday - Unfortunately Maci didn't get the memo about sleeping in after a late night so we were up and at 'em by about 7a. After some breakfast, we ran our usual errands (Target, Costco etc) and then I attempted to get her to take a nap. Nap time was rough (does this kid never need to re-charge?) but she finally went down around 2p. We then met up with her friends Natalie and Harper at the local splash pad. Maci LOVED the water, which I knew she would but that only lasted about 30 mins until some mean 3 year old in Batman swim trunks decided to be the playground bully. He started by pushing Harper from behind and knocking him over. Later he then looked right at Maci and pushed her in the stomach knocking her to her butt and then head. Of course Maci flipped out and was more distraught by someone not wanting to be her friend than knocking her over. I flew over like a big momma bear and told the kid he was being really mean. He received no visible discipline from his parents who chose to chill in the shade. After this incident, all of the kids were quite timid around the water fountains and we headed home after being there for about an hour. Hopefully next time we won't see the "batman" kid.

I got her to look at the camera by saying "say Hi to Daddy"
She thinks he lives in the phone now from all the Facetiming ;-)
Sunday - Today we were planning to have Harper and Natalie over to play in the backyard now that the fence is done and we have a water table. However, right now at 10a it is quite rainy out but really humid and hot. If it clears up maybe we will keep our plan and if not we may have to take a rain check and just play inside. I hope to get some more work done today so hopefully Maci will follow the plan and take a good nap and head to bed at a decent hour. We will see, she has a mind of her own, that is for sure.
This coming week looks to be a good one with me having a happy hour on Wed (Stephen next door will babysit Maci) and I have a World Cup Soccer game tournament at work on Thursday afternoon. Then Daddy gets home on Friday morning - Wahooo!!! We have had some fun together but we miss our papa bear. . . this momma bear is tired!
We hope you all have a great week!
Lots of Love,
C, K & M
