Momma in Miami

I am getting my weekly post up a little earlier this week because Maci went to bed earlier than normal, still trying to shake her cough/cold, and Clint is at the laundry mat for us AGAIN!  So I figured I would get my blog done and then maybe get caught up on some work email until Clint gets home from these errands.  I hope to have a movie night with the hubby once he gets back home.  In the meantime, let's see what the Mondell's were up to this week. . .

I had a wonderful time at my training this week!  Not only was the Miami weather a welcomed change from the cold winter temperatures but I also met 11 wonderfully talented Cargill employees from all over (literally from Brazil to Argentina to Florida to Taiwan to Minnesota and many others not mentioned).  This was a great change in pace from the regular work week grind and some very interesting topics.

Ahh this was my Monday walk to get lunch

Back at Home - Miss M and Clint had quite the week too.  I have to give Clint some big time props as he is seriously the most amazing dad ever and sure makes me question how I parent Maci when he is gone.  Maci and I come home from work late, eat some quick dinner and I usually have to put her to bed.  Here is what Maci and Clint did each night : Monday they did dinner at the mall Chipotle and then played at the mall indoor playground, Tuesday they went to Jimmy Johns for sandwiches, Wednesday night was McDonald's and she got to play in the entire indoor playground with other kids as well.  They finally ate at home on Thursday but still had a ball!  In addition to all this, he made sure I got as many pictures as possible of my babe back at home.  I came home Friday afternoon and while Miss M was super excited to see me, she is definitely in some daddy girl mode right now!!

Dad did OK with the attire and hair the 1st day

So far we have had a super lazy and relaxing weekend.  Last night we did our usual Pizza for dinner and after Maci went to bed, Clint and I watched the latest Scandal episode - SO OBSESSED!  Today we had gym class, YAY!  Afterward, we headed to Sears as we learned earlier this week that the washer's control panel was ruined.  It would be ~$625 to repair and that is around the same price of a new washer - URGH!  So today we went to Sears and found a great Samsung washer that was temporarily on sale so we spent a little less on a brand new washer - BLAH but at least it gets delivered on Wednesday and we are done with being a part of the laundry mat crowd.  We then made it home for Maci's nap and I created/ordered my Maci 1-2 year picture book (this is what I do for "albums" since I am horrible at printing pictures throughout the year).  

We have no plans tomorrow either but I have to run to the grocery at some point and I would like to get caught up a bit on work and prepared for the week.  My calendar is getting pretty full since I was away for 5 days and now all sorts of meetings are popping up.  However, I am excited for a normal week at home with my entire family!

Lots of Love, 

C, K & M
