Kissing Connor & 5 Year Old Birthday Party!

While she is missing the Dells - she was quite OK to get back into her daycare fun with the bounce house being there on her first day back!  Mom got through the first day back knowing she had a happy hour that night with Megan and SVO (retired former leader) - so fun catching up with that one!

On Wednesday, Maci got to have Bob the Baker at school.  This is an adorable 80 something year old man who loves to teach little kids how to bake.  Maci loved her bakers hat and some of the songs he taught them - so sweet!
 Maci is wearing the long red dress
While Maci played with Bob the Baker - Connor was busy dressing up as a Dr and kissing the ladies - too soon my man!
How Stinking Cute is He?!
 Making a Move While the Other Lil Girl Looks Jealous!
I think Connor Likes the Fountain Ponytail Look ;-)
Mom got a haircut on Thursday night while dad took the kiddos to their open house at daycare.  Connor even got to jump in the bounce house which made for a FUN Thursday night!

Friday - Finally (ha only 4 days) we made it to Friday!  After work, I met up with John, tax leader who I use to work with more regularly, for happy hour down the road from our house.  Mom got to have a Friday night out for a bit since Clint would be golfing Saturday morning while I have both kiddos.  Good time catching up with John and rolled home to some pre-season football with Maci and Clint - YAY almost football time!

Saturday - Clint was out to golf before we all woke up.  I quickly got both kiddos dressed and then we were off to Target.  We had to get Sally a birthday present for her 5th birthday party before heading to the Minnetonka swimming pond.  It was so cute when we got there as we were about 15 mins late and all the little girls started to scream "MACI MAGOO" as we walked up to the party.  Maci sure is the life of the party and is such a sweet friend, making sure to be inclusive and play with all the little girls.  She was quite the fish, swimming the whole time without her swim wings - amazing what you can do when you have a little peer pressure from your pals :)  I enjoyed chatting with several parents and watching Connor eat sand ICK.  Clint met up with us around 1p when the party was starting to wind down.  He took Connor who was needing a nap and I hung with M for about another 45 mins.  What a super fun 5th Birthday Party - thank goodness for those summer birthday kids :)

Isla doesn't go to school in the summer time and Maci can't wait for her to come back in the fall!!**

That sun wiped us out so the family had some down time while I got errands done around the house.  Maci is now signed up for Saturday dance, next level of ice skating for Monday nights and Sunday school during Sunday mass.  In addition, Connor finally gets his own thing - he will do Little Gym on Wednesday evenings starting in September!  It felt so good to get some of these planning items complete.  Once Maci ended quite time, we also busted out hair chalk I bought her - So Fun!  This is temporary (washes out) metallic color that you "chalk" onto the hair - needless to say this girl loved it!
We watched some more NFL pre-season football and all crashed hard!

Sunday - Today is an overcast get stuff done day around here.  Connor is taking a morning nap, Maci is watching iPad, Clint is getting yard work in before the rain and I am doing the usual laundry, finances etc.  In a little bit we will run some errands and make some good dents in the to do list - makes me so happy!  Later tonight I head to sip n shop at Evereve at the west end with some girlfriends where we get to shop after close (6-8p) for just us with apps/drinks with 15% off anything we buy - should be a fun way to wind down the weekend with some good girlfriends :)
More Hair Color Fun
Where Did Her Baby Face Go?!

We have another short week ahead with the annual cabin trip this coming weekend - we head with the Fike's, Cassem's and Zehr's to the cabin on Friday morning - I can't wait to get all these goofy kids back together for some end of summer fun!  Anticipate lots of fun/cute pictures to come next weekend.  We hope you all have a great week ahead and enjoy this end of summer time frame!

Lots of Love,
C, K, M & C
