No Power = No Fun!!

This week seemed to fly and Maci continues to have a ball at daycare with her summer activities.  Clint and I went to our week 16 Dr appointment on Monday and things continue to seem normal which normal is very good to me :)  The heartbeat was at 150 and we have discussed scheduling our C-Section for Dec 28th.  We also moved up our 20 week ultrasound to Aug 5th with our fingers crossed we get to learn gender just a little sooner as well as seeing a healthy baby!

Friday - It was a gorgeous and HOT day!  We got out of work and came home for the regular pizza Friday dinner.  Afterward we headed over to our neighbor's the Verplank's who have twin girls a month younger than Maci.  They have an inground pool so we had a bit of a pool party even though all the girls were more into the sandbox and doll babies :)  We headed home around kid bedtime and Clint went back over for a bonfire with the guys.  That night around midnight we had a big storm roll in which ultimately knocked out the power around 1a.

Saturday - Well we woke up to no power but we were hopeful it would only be a few more hours.  We didn't have much time to think about this as we had to grab some breakfast and head to Maci's first soccer camp!  Well I must have been more excited than her because she kind of stood to the side, wouldn't let go of my leg and at one point wandered away by herself towards the high school.  Let's hope it was just first day jitters and next week goes a little smoother :)

After the 30 min session ended, we went to the nearby park with my friend from work (Lisa) and her family since Brody is in the same soccer class as Maci.  Fortunately she was a bit more social at this playground outing but it too ended in tears b/c she didn't want to leave - ahhh toddler drama!

We ran several errands throughout the day and alas the power never came back on :( I had a bit of a meltdown around dinner after sweating through a nap!  You don't realize how much you love your power until it is gone!  Plus, I couldn't get any of the regular weekend errands done like grocery, laundry etc until we had power - so annoying!

Sunday - Happy 7 Year Anniversary to Us!  It didn't feel like a very special anniversary this year because we were in the midst of house chores, no power and a dramatic toddler.  However, we wouldn't have had it any other way :)  We had a nice breakfast at Egg & I and then waited at the house hoping and praying along with the other neighbors that the power would be back soon.  Fortunately at 145p the power was back!!!!!  We all jumped into productive mode at that minute and started laundry, sanded the fence post tops so we could cap them, ran to the grocery etc.  Thankfully we were able to jam in all the regular weekend errands into basically a Sunday afternoon.  We did take a quick break for a random Burger King lunch.

We ended our evening with bath time and Punch Pizza - quite the anniversary dinner :)  Maci fortunately went to bed at a good time after not napping all day.  Now Clint is enjoying Sons of Anarchy and I am finishing up a few things before the week ahead.  We hope to share the salad from our dinner on the porch, minus whiny toddler talk, before we are ready to crash in bed from an exhausting weekend!!!

Lots of Love,

C, K, M & #2 to be
