Clint had to head for Africa with work on Monday (so quick after just getting back from our Ohio trip). So I was taking a turn at single parenting this week (something Clint had gotten use to during my many travels this late spring). Maci was a pretty good girl for me minus some constipation that is becoming all too familiar in our house. :( The week was pretty uneventful and Maci allowed me to get her down at a reasonable time each night and we didn't run too late any of our mornings either. While I survived, I will happily welcome Clint home this coming Tuesday afternoon.
Friday - It was a nice day in the mid 70s and since I will be fairly busy at work the next 2 weeks with Compensation calibrations, I decided to hit the road around 4p. I grabbed Miss M, we had a quick easy mac dinner at home and then headed to the splash pad/park in the neighborhood. Miss M (like most kids) loved the freezing cold 6p water with the temps only around 72 at that point :) Her best pal Natalie met up with us around 630p, just in time to head to the playground portion of the park. After lots of times down the BIG slide, the girls were ready to head to DQ for some yummy dipped cones. What a fun and spontaneous Friday night turned out to be!!!
Saturday - We started the day with our final session of Gym for the school year! Maci was quite excited to get her medal from teacher Cheryl, the other kids got their last week but we were out of town. We will miss our weekly gym fix but it will be fall before we know it and we will be back in the gym but as Super Beasts this time - isn't that name fitting?! Also, Maci is going to replace gym with soccer on her Saturday mornings for about 5 weeks this summer (mis July through mid August). We are going to do soccer with my friend Lisa's son Brody so this should be interesting - we already talked about getting our 2 year olds jerseys, cleats and shin guards - unfortunately the site says they are not necessary :( #crazymomma! After Gym, we did a usual bagel run and then home for nap time. After naps, we got ready to go out to our friend the Zehr's new house in Stillwater. I was so thankful for the Cassem's letting me follow them since it was just me and Miss M. We were having a great time playing in the backyard until some odd bug flew into Harper's mouth, he started screaming, the moms started screaming and this super bug wouldn't die when I stepped on it. A few moments later Harper's mouth swelled and they were off to the hospital. It turns out a hornet was what darted into his mouth after our kids were undoubtedly annoying his nest. How Scary! Harper got some Benadryl and was sent back home with the symptoms of anyone who would be stung in the mouth multiple times - thankfully not an allergic reaction.
Look at the poor guy :(
After he was back home, he was ready to play and we took the kids for a walk to get ice cream before the storms rolled in and it was time to head home.

She convinced me to let her watch Elmo in the Car
The next day, Halston and John went out to see if there was a nest and sure enough, check this thing out that was hiding inside a kid's playhouse - Yikes! I hate things that sting!!
Sunday - Thankfully Miss M has been sleeping well and so we got to sleep until a nice 8a. After getting around for the day, we hit up the grocery store where Maci was actually quite a good helper - the M&M reward didn't hurt. We then came home for naps and for me to get laundry and other household errands complete. Maci woke around 230p and I took her to the pool like I had promised. However, Miss M was quite timid with the pool, not at all my fish from last summer :( I am hoping it was just the nerves of a first time out, no daddy and cold water. However, Maci did love the snack bar and the sand playground. I had to drag her out of the sand playground at 5p so we would head home for dinner. Now we are watching Frozen and I am getting things ready for the week. We are so excited to have daddy home early this week and to have travel on both work fronts being done for some time!

Maci's Summer curriculum starts tomorrow which means a summer of fun water tables, bounce houses and lots of Art! We hope everyone has an equally great week!
Lots of Love,
C, K & M
