Short First Week of the New Year

We had a very brief week thanks to our late flight back to MN from OH after the new year!

Thursday - First day back to school and work.  We were all in very relaxed moods after 1.5 days away :)  So nice!  The kids were both really excited to be back with their teachers and friends.  It was nice for Clint and I to start the catch up effort on the work front as well.  My evening was a bit hectic with 2 night calls given a variety of moving pieces and some new gym shoe online purchasing for M.

Friday - ALREADY FRIDAY!!!  Wahoo!  Another hectic day with it being only the 2nd day back in the swing of things.  At 4p I got a cal on my cell that poor C man had started puking at school.  Turns out there was a tummy bug going around the center and seems he picked up the remnants of the bug! Clint went and picked him up so I could finish up a few more things before heading home.  We had a lazy evening at the house and enjoyed our usual Friday Pizza!

Saturday - We had a productive morning while the kids watched Monsters Inc.  We were so productive that we left too late for dance and got there 15 mins late - ugh good start to being on time in 2018!  Maci was so excited to be back at dance with her pals!  We then ran some errands and enjoyed piggy place (Ham's Sandwich) for lunch.  We then had a very nice lazy day around the house with football!

Sunday - Back to Sunday school!  Maci was also excited to be back with her teachers and friends as well as telling them all about Ohio.  Connor did pretty well at mass and afterward we took M to Natalie's house for a play date.  While M was at Natalie's and C took a nap, Clint and I started our "prep for the big move this spring" efforts!  We are attempting to tackle 1 room each weekend.  Today's challenge = guest bedroom/office.  We had several bags of garbage, a bag of donation books, lots of boxes of things we could already pack/hide under the bed and sold our current desk/chair - they are on their way to pick it up now.  This room is now ready for staging and moving when ready (except for some essentials and the furniture - WAHOO!  I love decluttering!  Now M is home and we are enjoying some early dinner with a pot of Wild Rice soup.  I will start doing some work in front of football/golden globes in a short while.  We believe we are all prepared for our first full week back in the swing of things.

We hope you are all off to a great start in 2018!
Lots of Love,
C, K, M & C
