HOT July Weekend!

Maci had an awesome week at school!  The summer activities continue in full force and she also continues to be a whiz with the potty training - Wahoo!!

Monday Fun with the Sensory Table & Fishing with Magnets!

 Tuesday - Making Extra Stretchy Goo (Maci is the Pigtails & Super Engaged!)

 Thursday - TUMBLE BUS Came & Maci Loved It!

 Friday - Maci was picked to be the kid to get to nap in the Tent during Nap time!

 TGIF!!

Friday - We started the weekend with Clint picking up Maci and I headed to a maternity store to see what clothes I could get for this earlier showing bump.  We did our usual pizza dinner and then headed to Mall of America to see what maternity clothes I could pick up there and to let Maci ride some rides.  Thankfully Gap was having a HUGE sale and I got all the remaining staples I believe I need for my wardrobe and growing bump.  That meant I only had to go to one store too which Maci loved because that left more time for her to play in Nickelodeon Universe.

Girl Loves to Ride Rides with Daddy!

Saturday - We started the day with our usual bagel and grocery run.  Afterward, daddy cut the grass while Maci and I had a Popsicle and played on the swing set.  Once Maci started to "melt" we knew it was nap time and we compromised on allowing her to nap on the couch.  This ended up being a genius idea because she napped almost 3 full hours (something only done at daycare usually)!  This meant Clint and I were able to get so many of our weekend tasks completed and still able to read a magazine cover to cover before she awoke :)  Ahhh so productive and she awoke so happy!  Come 6p it was time for Clint and my monthly date night.  Stephen (next door neighbor) was the sitter this time and Maci was ecstatic - giving us high fives/kisses and telling us "have fun!"  Ha cutie!  Clint and I had a wonderful dinner and enjoyed the movie Jurassic World which I didn't have high expectations for as that isn't my favorite kind of movie but it kept my interesting the whole time and wasn't horribly gory - I will agree with Clint this time, it was well done!

Sunday - Today was projected to be in the 90s so that meant the Mondell family was planning a water day!  Since I was still a little shaky about the concrete slip at the pool last week, we decided to try a new location.  There is a natural made pool in which looks like a small lake/pond but is still chlorinated so you get the best of both beach and pool worlds :)  We LOVED it!  Maci played with some nice boys next door and we had a great conversation with their parents.  Shortly after eating some lunch we saw Maci's daycare pal Sally and her family.  Sally is a little fish and peer pressure can be helpful, she kept telling Maci to try and lift her feet, put her face in etc.  Before the end of our time, Maci was back to being our fishy!!  We were there from a little before 11a until 2p.  We then took a family nap as the sun wiped us all out.

 Sally & Maci - Swim Pals!

Now Maci/Clint are playing outside and I am tying up some items before the week begins.  We need to figure out dinner and pack all the bags to start another full week of work/school.  :)  Tomorrow is our week 16 check up so prayers for a continued healthy pregnancy are appreciated.

Lots of Love,
C, K, M & #2 to be
