Freezing Cold Temps, Super Busy Work Days & Birthday Party Weekends!

Super lame post this weekend as I realized I have no pictures to accompany this post, not a good start to 2015 for the blog!  Let's see what we have been up to besides trying to stay warm!!

This first week back was crazy busy at work, always seems to be as everyone is motivated to get a good start to the new year.  I was also proud of myself as I hit the work gym 2 days after work.  Maci seemed to adjust better this week with being back to daycare for a whole straight week.  All in all the Mondell's are easing into 2015 just fine :)

This weekend had a nice mix of fun, relaxing and productivity :)

Friday - Clint had left to NC Thursday morning for a quick trip and landed back home around 6p Friday night.  I picked up Maci after work and we met dad back home for our traditional Friday pizza dinner.  Maci couldn't wait for dad and the pizza so she had some Ravioli and made a total mess which required an early bath :)  After Maci got to scream "DADDY" when he got home and then went to bed, Clint and I were able to enjoy some "Scandal" on Netflix - we are totally hooked.

Saturday - Maci had the usual gym class in the morning and was so excited to run around and jump with her pals.  We went to Perkins for breakfast afterward this week and then Maci enjoyed a nap before party time.  Saturday was her friend Brody's 2nd birthday party.  I work with Brody's mom Lisa at Cargill and we had such a great time at Brody's cutie transportation themed party.  Maci especially loved Brody's gift bag for his friends which included stickers, fruit snacks and a pez candy dispenser. . . Maci LOVES Candy!  Little lady was OUT on the way home but we woke her for a quick jammie change and then we were back on the couch with the rest of Season 3 of Scandal :)  We are now up to the current season on TV so we now ordered Hulu Plus so we can watch Season 4 - agh obsessed with the show!

Sunday - Today is productivity and lazy day in our house.  By noon I had already cleaned through the mail, balanced the checkbook, ate breakfast, went grocery shopping and completed 2 loads of laundry.  I am now wrapping up the blog before I start catching up on some work in front of the TV with Clint.  Clint is happy to lay around and watch the playoffs and Maci is down for her daily nap right now - the house is so quiet ;-)

I have another BUSY week coming up with work and lots of deadlines approaching.  However, I enjoy what I am working on and I have to keep reminding myself it will all get done, it always does :)  I am also really looking forward to the coming weekend!  Clint and I got Maci tickets to Sesame Street Live downtown on Friday as a part of her upcoming birthday present!  I think she will go nuts when she sees Elmo singing and dancing on stage :)

Until next week, Lots of Love :
C, K & M
