Vacation Day & Daddy to ND

Monday - What a fun family day off of work and school!  We hit up the Crayola Color Wonder World at Mall of America.  Connor took a little tumble down a slide at the indoor playground but that wasn't stopping their fun.  After Crayola, we had some lunch and then headed home for some late naps and a little work email clean up.

After naps, we grabbed Noodles & Co for dinner before I took M to her weekly ice skating lesson - so fun!

Tuesday & Wednesday were busy days for me with off site org design meetings for work.  On Tuesday, I had a team dinner after work and Clint sent this super sweet picture of a tired Connor man.

Clint headed to ND for work on Wednesday so I was single parenting it again for the rest of the week (can you tell I am ready for some of these trips to slow down a bit!)  M was really good at Connor's gym class on Wednesday evening and on Thursday the kids were super excited for their special "wear days."  Maci got to wear her favorite character and went with Jasmine and Connor was to wear his favorite jacket so we went with the camo vest :)

Friday - Mr C man was super demanding Friday morning and required his breakfast on top of my dresser - HA  Clint got back in town around noon and I had a super busy Friday in the office.  That Friday night, I brought the kids home, we ate pizza and then I paid bills/worked almost all Friday night but at least I got some stuff done - the list just never stops :)

 Costume Kim came to school on Friday!

Saturday - A busy but productive and fun Saturday.  We started the day with our usual dance class.  Afterward, we ran to Target for a birthday present, haircuts for both kiddos and Lunds grocery trip for some snacks for the evening party.  We wrapped up all the errands with a lunch at Lunds - yummy.  We came home for some naps and then headed to the Verplank's for their Oktoberfest party.  The kids had a blast playing with ~20 other kiddos as well as "new" toys being at someone else's house.  We left around 730p as Connor started to get sleepy.  I was also exhausted and was probably sound asleep by 9p. . . my body needed some rest!

Sunday - Sunday school and mass to start our Sunday.  Clint and Connor then headed home for football while I took M to her pal Khloe's 5th birthday party - indoor pool party!  Maci and I were there from 12-2p while Clint made wild rice soup, received the delivery grocery order and put Connor down for nap.  We just enjoyed watching the Dolphins win a tight game and thankful for a Bengals bye week :)  It is a gorgeous fall day which makes it feel like the perfect weather to cozy up and enjoy some warm soup.

We hope you all have a wonderful week ahead!

Lots of Love,

C, K, M & C
