This week went by pretty fast with Clint leaving to Memphis with work on Monday and not returning until Thursday afternoon. The days fly when you have Maci 24/7 plus work and pets. Of course we spent some time Facetiming dad each day and playing outside on the swing set - we sure are enjoying some great Fall weather!

Daycare Story Time
Note : Maci is the kid to the far right playing vs listening :)
We had a Dinner Date @ Noodles & Co the Night before Daddy came Home
Friday - Wahoo productive Friday at work followed by Swim Lessons! Maci and her friends continue to love the water and look quite advanced for the level they are in. After lessons, we have decided we can't take anymore Applebee's food so we tried a close competitor in TGI Friday's. The table we were put at was better than Applebee's but food was still so/so. We think we may change to pizza ordering on Friday nights and taking turns going to each others houses. We love hanging out together but the kids are a little "rough" at restaurants these days and the places we are comfy taking them has sad food options.
Saturday - Gym Class in the morning! This was the first one Clint could make this session and he was blown away but how much Miss M has grown since the last session. She even showed Daddy her flips on the bars! After gym we did our usual Cooper brunch at the West End followed by nap time at home. After naps, we ran our usual errands and Maci fell in love with a Elmo costume at Target. Needless to say this lil girl is OBSESSED with Elmo! We made her cry when we took the costume off HA-HA.
Our Own Tickle Me Elmo!
I wasn't feeling the greatest at night and Maci wasn't going to bed very well so I stayed home while Clint joined the neighbors for a bonfire and drinks at one of our neighbor's backyards. He came home in time to watch the end of a movie in bed with me and to finish listening to the Toledo game on the computer. I am making up for being lame though by having all our neighbor friends over for Chili and Football next Sunday. The Bengal's are on a bye week next week so I figured I wouldn't scare off anyone :)
Sunday - We did bagels and coffee for breakfast followed by some Costco browsing. A few chores around the home and then it was time to settle in for the Bengals game. They looked great which kept me fairly quiet at the house ;-) Now I am working on laundry, prepping for the coming week and we have a pot of Chicken Wild Rice Soup going in the crockpot - YUM!!! All this while Maci is taking a late nap. We sure do LOVE Football Sunday's in this house!
We sent an email to our immediate family yesterday letting them know our holiday plans. We will be sticking around MN for Thanksgiving, can't pass up Black Friday Mall of America shopping :) However, we will be heading home to Ohio for Christmas. We will come in the Saturday before Christmas to Toledo and stay there until the Tuesday morning. We will then spend Tuesday afternoon through Saturday morning in Cincinnati for Christmas Eve & Christmas Day celebrations. We hope to see as many Ohio Family/Friends during our trip home. We will plan to connect closer to the timing as well.
We hope everyone has a great week!
Lots of Love,
C, K & M
