1st Trick or Treating Fun, Power Outage & Football Sunday!

Maci's Sunday School Project from Last Week 

Monday - Maci had skating in the evening and Clint took her since it seems he has had to miss almost the entire session.  I hung with Connor and learned after they got home that Maci is going to do advanced snow plow again in the winter but is making great progress!

Pretending to be a Baby

Tuesday - After dinner we had a realtor over for a discussion.  We liked him and think we may go with him when we are ready to list our home in the February/March timing.  He not only has great ideas on how to list/market our home but he also clearly gets the type of house we are wanting next.

It was a warm week but good luck tell Connor that when he wants to wear his hat outside :)

Wednesday -  Clint took Connor to Lil Gym (similar reasons he took Maci to skating).  After they got home and Connor went to bed, I got on a video chat with my high school girl friends - always great to catch up with those ladies!

Thursday - Clint got home a little later than usual due to a training program up in Stillwater.  Once home, we had some dinner before I headed out for a late happy hour with my Cargill pals - Jason and Megan.  Always a good time catching up with those 2 - can't believe Megan is going to be out with baby #2 any day now. . . .I will likely talk to no one for a few weeks forgetting she isn't on the other side of the wall from me :)

Friday - I worked from home and it was a GORGEOUS Friday.  I had such a productive day both on the work and personal front.  I got laundry complete, groceries ordered/delivered, kindergarten call for M etc.  We also were able to talk to St Louis Park to switch our Westwood Trick O Treat fun to Friday night vs our current tickets which were for Saturday.  You see on Friday it was sunny and 77 for a high and on Saturday it was going to be 64 for a high but RAIN!  Thankfully they let us make the switch so I picked up the kids around 5p while Clint picked up pizza.  We were on the 3rd bus to the fun and Maci reminded me about 5 times how this was the best night ever!

Connor Couldn't Look at the Camera - TOO MUCH TO SEE!

 Maci wanted to do the photo op - Connor liked the stroller by this point

Saturday - No dance this week due to MEA (a state wide teacher in service Thurs/Fri so many people make it a family getaway weekend).  Instead we had a slow moving morning, ran some errands and ate lunch at Pub 819.  We came home for naps and quiet time.  Clint and I settled in with our delivery dinner, cocktails and football when all the sudden a POP and the power went out for the whole block - UGH!  We had an awesome video chat with Andy and Brandi Green and no sooner did we hang up about 1.5 hours later that the power was back on.  Pardon how gross we look but we were so excited for light and TV to be back :)

Sunday - No Sunday school either due to MEA.  It was my turn to get up with the kids so M and I started watching the New Beauty and the Beast around 715a and by the time it was over at 930a neither daddy nor Connor were up yet!  We went up to wake daddy and in minutes we heard Connor. Clint and I quickly threw on some clothes and the kiddos left in PJs to get donuts!

 Such a Pretty Face with So Much Attitude!

We got home and daddy started cutting the grass while I painted M's nails and took Connor man outside to play.  C was LOVING the leaves and running all over the yard without sissy telling him what to do - she was enjoying an iPad inside.

Cutting some of the Grass with Dad - So Cool!

 LEAVES!

 My Sweetie!

 Did this on his own - Just Chilling in the Fall Sun!

Now we are watching the Dolphins/Jets game and getting prepared for my afternoon Bengals vs Steelers game.  Before my game, I have to do a little work prep for some facilitation I am doing tomorrow that I ran out of time for on Friday.  Let's hope my game is worth getting everything done for ahead of time and if not, well I will just go to bed early HAHA

We have a busy week ahead with Clint's global security team in town for meetings and happy hour/dinners and I am tied up facilitating much of the Finance Global Process team meetings also this week in Minneapolis.  This week will feel like it flies since I am only in the office Mon-Thurs and then head to Columbus for Gilroy Girls weekend at OSU on Friday!!!!  YAY can't wait!

We hope you have a wonderful fall week ahead.

Lots of Love,

C, K, M & C
