Home Projects & Gorgeous Spring Weather

We had a busy week in the Mondell house!  Monday was a gorgeous day and this time Clint explored the huge park behind us with the kids b/c I had an Asia quarterly review call that evening.  It was a bit hard to dial in seeing so many people playing outside from my home office window.  However, I can deal with it because this helps us see spring is finally here to stay!  We are glad to see the warm weather as well since Clint has been dealing with a sinus infection since the move and we need the warm air to kill off all the yuck!  The week continued onward with Global LT meetings for me which started at 6a on Wed/Thurs and Clint continued to drag a bit due to his cold.  Needless to say by Thursday evening the adults were all ready to crash!!

So Much Outdoor Fun!

Friday - We took Friday off again to work on even more house efforts.  On this one day we were able to meet with our kitchen cabinet guy, spa service/tutorial for the hot tub (finally know how to work the chemicals!), order sectional and dining room table and all sorts of other odds and end jobs including emptying the hot tub water for spring cleaning.  I then met up with some friends for drinks/dinner which was a much appreciated break from the house to do list.

Saturday - Maci had dance in the morning and if the videos weren't so large I would load them here. This was the week where the teacher had us come in and video tape each dance so that they can watch it and practice at home.  This coming week is pictures and then only 2 more classes before dress rehearsal and recital!!  She is SOOO excited for her big moment again - not to mention the costumes and makeup HA

The Boys at Dance

The Snack lady refers to them as her regulars b/c she makes them a bagel/cream cheese and muffin each week 💙

Connor wants to be like Uncle Tommy and work those power tools - what a stud!

We did some grocery/errands as a family and during  nap time Clint and I prioritized the weekend house list.  We made a lot of progress against the list and the warm/sunny weather helped with the motivation.  Some accomplishments include filling the hot tub, cleaning out the kids closets/drawers, learning how to operate the outdoor propane fire pit etc.  After a yummy Mexican dinner out we ended the evening with some cocktails around the new fire pit.  Unfortunately the chemicals aren't quite balanced yet to get back in the hot tub - hopefully by tonight!

Sunday - Doing the blog early in the morning as we have a busy/beautiful day ahead!!  It is going to be close to 70s and sunny - YAY!  Maci's last day of Sunday school for the 17-18 school year is this morning and then we head right back to hitting the to do list while also pausing to take a break for a family walk to the park at some point.

We hope you all have a wonderful Sunday and week ahead!  It was so nice to order some new bathing suits for me and the kids this past week/weekend and to realize that the warm weather is right around the bend.  We sure love this city spring through fall - winter has its time but needs to know when to say GOODBYE!

Lots of Love,
