• Last day of the training program for me - good learning, hard to be in all day meetings for 4 straight days!

Friday - 

• M had her grizzly dash at school and Clint took the kids to the Grizzly Bash for dinner/fun in the early evening 
• I found out I wasn't getting the job I interviewed for but understand some other moves are coming that may prove even better for me - still not the most fun message on a Friday but moving forward!
• Left work early with my dear friends/co-workers Megan and Sara to head down to St Paul for Justin Timberlake - We met up with Amber, Mandi and Gia - Such a fun dinner/drinks/concert with some awesome ladies!!!  Uber home by myself at 130a so stayed on the phone with Clint and made him wait for me at the garage - thankfully I had a normal driver :)

Love This Girl!!!

Sister from another mister!

 Ride or Die Chicks!

 So Many Cocktails!

Saturday - 

• Hmmm I felt like death almost all day!
• Maci had dance and I struggled through
• Clint cut grass, I napped and kids played around me
• Around 5p started to get ready for date night with Clint but Kaitlin called and was sick with a cold - BOO
• Change of plans means ordering delivery food and watching the Buckeye game at home vs out at a bar which actually was a Ok for this Saturday night!
• Oh and what a game Buckeyes!!!!!!!!!!  O - H 

 Took a Dinner Time Walk - Chilly Fall Weather!

Sunday - 

• We were so sluggish again this morning, I blame changing weather and long work/school weeks making us need extra ZZzzzzs
• Bengals rocked my world this early afternoon and Dolphins fell apart!
• We made pulled pork in the crock pot from a recipe book I am loving - it did NOT disappoint!  Nothing better than yummy crockpot food on a Fall Sunday!
• Spent the late afternoon finishing laundry, ordering groceries, prepping for the next week.  

I am in another week of meetings - my Global biz partners are in town for our in person meetings Tues-Thurs.  Even though I am about meeting out, I love these peeps and they love me so might be just what the Dr ordered :)  Clint has no travel planned this week so it should be a good week!

We hope you have an awesome week filled with gratitude!!!

Lots of Love,

C, K, M & C

Crazy Thursday Storms & Girl Scout Planning

Monday -

• I had business interviews for the internal position 
• Clint got home from his long boys weekend in Toledo - he had a blast and cant remember the last time he drank that much in a  4 day period HA
• Everyone was excited to see Dad after we got home from work/school/daycare

Tuesday - 

• Clint left AGAIN but this time to GA for work - thankfully he is no longer going to Fayetteville as well due to Florence so comes home Wed vs Fri
• I had the final interview with the top HR leader for the business I am going for internally 
• 3rd day of Basketball camp - M is starting to make a few baskets YAY!
• Connor is starting to spend most of his days in the Pre-School room in prep for his big move up on Monday - Pre-School is hard work HAHA

Wednesday - 

• M got to go to the library for the first time - they seem enthused 
• I took both kiddos to Gymnastics and I am starting to feel like super mom 
• Clint got home after bath time and we are all so thankful he is here

Thursday - 

• I had all day meetings so was exhausted post work day and I am still waiting to hear back on the internal position I applied for which is weighing on me 
• We were supposed to take M to last day of Basketball camp but when Clint got home the storms that moved through knocked out our power and we realized we don't have keys that work for this house!!!  SWEET!
• We went to Applebee's for dinner but still no power afterward so Clint borrowed a neighbor ladder and got in through an upstairs window - needless to say we have a locksmith coming over today to have this fixed - not a good situation!

Friday - 

• Another long day of all day meetings and still waiting on news for the other position but at least heard going into the day that we likely won't hear until next week so that helped to set expectations
• Grabbed those kiddos and headed home to spend much needed family time!
• We kicked a soccer ball outside on a nice fall feeling evening with our crew of 4
• Pizza came so we enjoyed that before spending some time in the hot tub to rinse away a crazy week followed by early bed times for all - rest was needed!

Saturday - 

• I headed to the Plymouth Library to meet with Maci's new Daisy Girl Scout troop leader and other mommas to plan this year's troop - should be good fun and it brought back some good memories for me!
• Clint took Maci and Connor to Dance class and picked up lunch afterward while I was grocery shopping
• Lots of to dos around the house and errands
• Wrapped up errands in the late afternoon with dinner at El Rodeo - Love Mexican Food!
• Clint watched football into the late hours of the evening and I crashed early again - this week really took a number on my energy - felt so good to get good sleep!!

Sunday - 

• Church/Sunday School - Connor is starting to be pretty good in mass as long as he has a lovey, pacifier and snack :)
• We rushed home for football which currently has Clint happy (Dolphins must be in the mix) and me screaming (UGH we hung but had too many not good enough moments - turnovers and no D on the run!)
• I have lots of email and reading to do this afternoon as I am behind after meetings all day Thursday/Friday and I have pre-read to do before a Mon-Thurs learning workshop this coming week 
• Clint plans to cut the grass after our games end and will work with the locksmith when he gets here

The week starts strong with Connor's first day of Pre-School and Maci's field trip to an apple orchard!!  We hope you all have a wonderful week ahead!

Lots of Love,

C, K, M & C

 Clint and His Home Town Buddies

Sunday - 

• Back to Sunday School - we made it only 5 mins late which was amazing since we were RUNNING WAY behind this entire morning!
• The local fire department was doing some cook out on the way to the parking lot so we got some quick truck pictures.
• Ran some errands and then took our neighbors up on their kind offer to come over and swim in the afternoon - SO HOT HERE!!!!
• Maci was a fish doing all sorts of cannon balls and Connor loved playing on the stairs - awesome neighbors and such a fun way to spend a HOT afternoon :)
• Clint comes home tomorrow - YAY!

Love that View on Weekend Mornings!

 Was so excited to bring a book bag to Church

Likely Jealous of Maci wearing one every day HAHA

 Firetrucks!!

 While we swam - these goofballs drank even more and watched football in the OH

I have a few more interviews early part of this week and some all day meetings later in the week so will be another whirlwind week.  Clint is supposed to have a work trip but with Florence not sure what the plan will be.  M wraps up Junior Jammers this week and Connor goes along for the ride HA!

Lots of Love,
