A Weekend of Laughs!

Do you think last weekend wore her out?!

Unfortunately the weather decided to align a bit more with the typical temps for this week which meant it was still sunny but that was deceiving as it was more like 40s.  Our family had a nice week with a fun break in the middle of the week with a magic show at Maci's school in the evening.  Maci loved watching the magician, wiggling her fingers and yelling POOF!  You can tell how much she is growing as her attention span has increased greatly in the last few months.  She was OK sitting for the entire 40 min show :)  She also did OK with B-ball being on every TV all weekend long!

Sidewalk chalk fun at school

Friday - We wrapped up the week with me leaving a meeting about a candidate we had interviewed and walking into my office to find Clint talking on my cell phone.  It turns out his iPhone bit the dust with the screen fully falling out.  So instead of having a relaxing Friday night with Pizza & B-Ball. . . we headed to Verizon to negotiate with what I have decided is the new "used car business."  We ended up leaving without a new phone for me (even though I had an email with extremely misleading language) and Clint still had a broken phone b/c we had to do an Affidavit to file our insurance claim.  He will have his new phone arrive on Monday and not Saturday which the Verizon worker "assured" would happen.  Ugh - it makes me want to figure out how to leave cell phones all together!

Saturday - Maci had a great time at gym, per usual, we then did the typical breakfast/errands before nap time.  I decided to run my grocery trip on Saturday which I am so happy about today when I have no motivation to leave the house :)  We then had our monthly date night!  Maci went CRAZY when Miss Kaitlin arrived yelling her name over and over again and taking her to play right away!  We both agreed how nice it is that Maci loves seeing these sitters vs crying when we attempt to leave.  She even yelled "HAVE FUN!"  Which is really her way of saying, GO Away Now!  :)  Clint and I went to Gold Nugget for dinner - yummy burgers/sandwiches and we will be having our family Easter Brunch here after Mass this year.  We then headed to Brave New Workshop for some wonderful Improv Comedy!  It was so gosh darn funny!  I would liken it to SNL in NY except this program has been active in Minneapolis since 1958 - so cool!  It is housed in a really old theatre in downtown Minneapolis and the comedians are very talented.  Clint swore the one woman was a female Chris Farley with her physical comedy style.  We got home around 11p and relieved Kaitlin.  After she left, we grabbed the baby monitor and headed to the neighbors behind us.  Unfortunate timing as our neighborhood had a progressive dinner finishing at the neighbors behind us for deserts and after party!  Fortunately they were all still up so we went up for one well that quickly became 1a - we are so fortunate for such a fun and wonderful group of neighbors!  We all can't wait for summer which means lots of cookouts in each other's back yards.

Sunday - Thank goodness for Maci cuddling and choosing to sleep in with us!  Maci came into our bed at some point before my eyes could even function today.  The next thing I know it was 10a and we NEVER sleep in like that - much needed, I don't stay up until 1a ever anymore :)  The day is a super lazy one at our house.  We are having a late lunch now and have been watching B-ball/playing with Maci in her play room.  I plan to do a little work in a bit but my goal is to not leave the house all day long!!  We may get some snow tonight but I am praying it is just a little and that this is the last bit for the year - I am ready for spring to stay!

We hope everyone has a great week!
Lots of Love,
C, K & M
