Fall Like Weather = Apple Picking & Football!!!

We had what felt like a quick work week, happens when you have a Monday holiday!  Maci got to kick off her week at school with some fun Costume Kim time where she came as a truck driver and read books about locomotion.  Later in the week they had a rainbow day where they wore shirts with rainbow colors and played with some science/craft color thing "so not something I am good at" see picture below :)

Costume Kim & Playing with Colors on Rainbow Day

I got to meet Baby Avery Rogers (work friend Megan's daughter) on Wednesday night and Clint got to play in a golf tournament on Friday with work.  Oh and I reached week 24 with baby boy Mondell.

The wives tale of momma's with boys carrying low is ACCURATE in my case. . . 

he is a low rider!

Friday - I had such a productive day at work which had me leaving in such a great mood!  When I got home, Clint and I started on our big weekend project (ugh seems like there is one every week).  We moved the current dresser and headboard in Maci's soon to be big girl room out into the garage.  I am attempting to be crafty and upscale these boring oak items into white antiqued feel pieces.  After we got the items out of the house, we headed to Panera for dinner where Maci made lots of friends (typical) and then to Home Depot to get our primer, paint etc.  I started moving her clothes into her new closet and then we called it a night for errands/work.  We watched some tv and crashed.

Saturday - Gym class in the morning followed by a quick bagel vs brunch with friends since we wanted to get back to the furniture project and hopefully still have some fall fun.  Clint got both pieces of furniture sanded and I got her room mainly put together.  After her nap, we decided to head out for some fun apple picking, it was a gorgeous day in high 60s.  Maci LOVED the activities as we had to beg her to leave each one and then she would love the next one even more.

After we finished at Apple Jack's we headed to BW3 for some dinner and caught the very end of the Toledo win!  What a great win for Toledo?!  To beat a ranked SEC team who were running their mouths about Big 10 schedules compared to theirs and then they lose to Toledo - LOVE IT!!

We watched some more football and as usual I crashed on the couch.  I woke up around midnight to realize Clint went to the neighbors house for a fire and drinks - those guys :)  I saw Clint walking down our hill not long after I climbed upstairs to bed myself.  What a busy but fun Saturday!

Sunday - NFL IS BACK!!!  I finished completing Maci's big girl room, which she slept in last night with no problems YAY.  Clint helped to hang her wall decor and then primed all the furniture while I got some to dos done around the house and kept Maci entertained.  Before football started we made some of our homemade salsa for a snack and put on a crockpot of Chicken Wild Rice Soup - YUM!!  We love fall and football!  Miss M even woke up today and when I asked her what's on today - she said "FOOTBALL" and I asked what we say during football - she said "WHO DEYSssss"  Yes she adds and S but I am impressed none the less :)  Maci has taken a crazy good nap today and Clint's Dolphins pulled off an ugly W.  We are now watching the Bengals and hoping for a similar outcome, well not ugly but the W!!  

How Gorgeous is this Lil Girl?!

We hope to finish painting Maci's furniture this week so we can start the next project next weekend!  This time we are on to the front door (hopefully removing the paint and restoring natural wood) and fixing the chipping window trim.  We need to do this many outdoor required projects now because you don't know when the weather may turn!

Have a great week!

Lots of Love,

C, K, M & Lil Man Mondell
