Monthly Date Night Fun!


We had a fairly low key work week.  On Tuesday, Connor hit the big 15 months which meant Dr check up.  He is a light (which is a bit shocking for how much he eats) 21 lbs but 50% for his height - he sure seems tall to us.  That same day was the spring picture day at school so we look forward to sharing hopefully cute pictures soon!  Maci says she smiled great but Connor only did a little HA

On Thursday morning I got to be the mystery reader for Maci's class.  I was so proud of myself for getting out of work on time and even getting there 5 mins early.  I parked where Maci and class couldn't see my car, slip into the building and hear her teacher say "Maci knows its you."  HOW!?!?  Well it seems I live with the FBI.  On Monday night, Clint was reading to Maci and I thought I was being fairly secretive when I pulled out 3 good books.  Turns out Maci was on to my every move and told her teach, "I know it is my mom, she grabbed 3 books the other night, put them in her work bag and they aren't back in my room yet"  HOLY COW!  So I come in the room and all the kids cheer, I say "Maci are you surprised?"  "No, not at all mom but so good to see you!"  :)  This kid sure is something special.  I had a blast reading the books and getting to do a Q&A session with the kiddos.  After making sure Maci and her class got out to recess OK, I popped by Connor's room - bad idea!  He was in the middle of being pulled way from some other kids because he was hitting.  Turns out our sweet Connor has a giraffe chair in the classroom that he is not fond of sharing.  He attempts to take additional naps on it and if other kids come by he swats at them HA.  So he is sitting alone and looks over to see me, nods, stands up and walks to me.  Once he gets to me I lift him up for a hug and he automatically spits out his pacifier, hands it to the teacher and starts waving goodbye.  OOPS!  It was only 11a, he was not leaving with me so I had him back and tears begin - Yikes!

Friday - TGIF!  Maci requested McDonald's for dinner.  When we pulled up to play at the play land, Clint thought he recognized a car and within minutes it was confirmed when we saw Natalie banging on the window.  Yay, the Cassem's were also there!  It was a great impromptu play date for Maci and her best pal Natalie.  We enjoyed having adult convo while our kids played close by.  What a nice start to the weekend!  We headed home for some basketball and the usual mom falling asleep on the couch by 8p so lame!

Saturday - We started the morning with a movie rental through our Apple TV - Aristocats which Maci was loving since she picked out Marie as her special toy from Disney.
We then headed to dance where Connor was a dancing fool.  One of the teenage girl classes was jamming to Destiny's Child and Mr C loved it!  So funny.

We did the usual grocery trip and headed home for quiet time.  Around 5p we started to get ready for monthly date night!  Clint and I headed to Benihanna (we like that place way more than is normal) and then to a new sports bar (for us) in Minnetonka for cocktails and basketball.  We hung out laughing until about 11p when we realized we needed to pay the sitter and hit the hay because our kids don't sleep past 7a :)

Sunday - I had a bit of a rough time getting up today but Clint was very kind in taking the kids until 830a.  Next weekend is his birthday weekend so I will pay back the kind gesture.  It is rainy here today and we are being total lazy bums in this house.  Connor is back down for a nap after playing blocks with me this morning.  Clint ran to get us bagels and a Costco trip this morning and now he too is napping.  Oh and Maci is watching the iPad in the bathroom because she likes to lay by the vent in that room, it is so warm in there - yep she is a special one! HAHA
I hope to doze off soon myself for a lazy Sunday nap.  We are a ok to have a cozy day at home with basketball coming on in a few hours as well!

We are looking forward to the weekend ahead with Clint and I taking Friday off for his Birthday - the big 39!  We hope you all have a great week ahead.
Lots of Love,
C, K, M & C
