The Mondell house enjoyed another week of gorgeous spring weather. In addition to the weather, Maci had a blast at school since this was a celebration week for the small child so they had a different theme day every day of the week.
- Monday she got to wear a fun hat (Toledo Rockets Hat, Thanks Great Aunt Sue)
- Tuesday was Mismatch day where she wore two different leg warmers with her shorts and some crazy high pigtail knots
- Wednesday was Beach Day so she wore her swimming suit top, shorts and flip flops (it was so nice that day too!)
- Thursday was Costume Day and she wore one of her dress up dresses, tiara and looked like Cinderella - I was quite honored when the preschoolers were guessing she was Cinderella :)
- Friday was Pajama Day and She got to bring her teddy bear
I also had some fun activities through the week. On Tuesday I got to go to a VIP opening for the new Nordstrom Rack in our neighborhood strip mall re-design. It was fun to get out of a long day of work, eat appetizers, drink champagne and do some good summer shopping with 2 girlfriends. I told Clint I spent the least out of the 3 of us and left it at that ;-) Thursday was a hair appointment night for me after work which is always a welcomed treat especially heading towards the weekend.
Friday - Clint flew out to Toledo, OH for the weekend Friday morning. Our good friend Billy and his wife Jamie had their reception planned for this weekend, they had married a few months ago in Florida. Billy was a best man in our wedding so we were glad Clint could be there even if Maci and I hung back. After I picked up Maci, we ate pizza and took a nice long (slow with Maci!!) walk around the neighborhood - I sure enjoyed the time with my pal. We then wrapped up the night with bath time which is usually a Maci/Daddy time. At the end of the bath Maci yelled "Come on Daddy" as we went upstairs to get ready for bed :(
Saturday - Miss M was up and at 'em at 6a today - URGH! My little 2 year old dictator told me "get up mommy!" over and over again until I couldn't take it any longer. We had a sweet morning together doing some laundry but also coloring with sidewalk chalk outside on the front walkway. We then were off to gym and brunch with our friends. After gym, Maci actually took a great 3 hour nap with mommy! Yay!! She got to come on the weekly Target grocery run since Clint is out of town but did great and the worker even gave her a sticker because she was such a good helper for her mommy! We wrapped up our evening playing on the swing set, more sidewalk chalking and folding laundry. I am about to put her down for the night and then give some thought to my own packing.
Sunday - I am doing the blog a day early this week because I fly out to Rome tomorrow at 1p. Clint comes home at noon so Miss M gets to go to her friend Natalie's house for a few hours to play, she is soooo excited! Clint heading to Ohio kicked off 2 months of utter craziness in the Mondell home :). It is a good thing that I tend to thrive in small periods of craziness or this could be a tad overwhelming. It will be summer with a blink of the eye!
