Memorial Day Weekend!

Lingering Pic from Last Week's Lazy Sunday!

The week flew by pretty quickly due to Leadership meetings, early wake up times and just a whole bunch of stuff to do.  Between being on the go with work and daycare, we were fortunate to look up and it was Friday of a long holiday weekend!  We took a few fun pics in the midst of the chaos.

Double Rainbow Outside Our House Tuesday Night

 Maci & I started an evening coloring tradition

I even ordered a few new packs of Mr Sketch Markers off Amazon :)

Thanks Nanny Kathy for my coloring book - we have put it to good use!

 Connor made friends with the flower shop guy next door to daycare

Friday - Weekend!!!  We made it :)  The kiddos wore some red white and blue to school in honor of the holiday weekend and all those who have fought for this great country!

He hasn't learned to pose like his sister :)

 Watching Helicopters Outside

 Chalking and Snacking Outside

I left work at a good time for me and Maci was so excited to see me at school by about 4p.  We came home and ate pizza before heading to Park Yogurt for some yummy frozen yogurt and candy.  The kiddos then played around the house while Clint let me head to bed - I was exhausted from a week of 7a meetings :)

Saturday - No more dance class so we played outside a good chunk of the morning.  We then did quite a bit of our weekend errands including laundry, grocery delivery and bill paying.  It was nice to get that out of the way.  Connor took a great nap but before we knew it the day was passing us by and we had a fun day of playing around the house.  Clint grilled up some steaks from our Cargill company store.  We had a yummy dinner and then proceeded to have bath/bedtime for kids while Clint and I fully caught up on Scandal for the rest of the season.

Sunday - Busy holiday day!  We got up and decided to spend another day of gorgeous weather at Lake Calhoun for a walk, playground and yummy Tin Fish tacos.

We then came home for some quick naps before heading to the Cassem's house for a friend BBQ.  The kiddos had a blast playing together outside until it started to rain and was conveniently bed time.  Everyone headed home and our kiddos hit the hay while Clint and I started watching a new show - Pretty Little Liars. . .so far so good.

The only kid that stopped long enough for a picture

Monday - Holiday!  Maci really wanted to go to Mall of America.  However, she was being super sassy this morning and poor Connor has been struggling with teething molar issues so that idea got cancelled.  Instead, she is playing in her room, Connor man is napping, Clint is running a few errands and I am resting on the couch.  I think we are going to take advantage of this down day before our busy but super fun week ahead!  I will likely do a little work to get organized this evening seeing as I am only in the office 2 whole days this week 😀

We are getting the house ready and oh so excited for Grandma Janet to get here this Wednesday night!  Mom and I are taking Thursday as a pampering day with massages and lunch likely on a rooftop.  On Friday the whole family is going to join us for some sort of outdoor fun.  This is all a build up to Maci's big dance recital next Sunday - be ready for adorable pictures 💘

We hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend and got some rest like we are doing now!  

Lots of Love,

C, K, M & C
