Mondells in Minneapolis: Back Home in MN!!

Wednesday -

We had a nice final breakfast with my parents before heading to the airport in Dayton
Our drive, car drop off and130p flight were non eventful, thankfully
Kids moved around a bit on the plane (why do they never sleep!)
We got home and got right to unpacking, laundry, packing back up bookbags etc
Clint took M to Gymnastics while Connor and I were working through laundry, however shortly after they left Connor asked to go to bed (WOAH!)
I gave buddy a quick bath and put him to bed and he was out - probably still over coming his sickness and ready to be in his own bed after so many fun nights over the holidays!!

Someone is loving her puzzles from Christmas

Thursday -

1st day back to work and school - Connor had a ROUGH drop off, not only was it a new school but he simply didn't want to leave his family after a fun almost 2 weeks of play time - thankfully I handed him to a sweet teacher and he just put his head on her shoulder :(
Maci on the other hand ran right back on the bus and was excited to see her friends
Clint and I had uneventful days back - it is really busy at my new work because this is our new year start and so they are working through the compensation process etc - I am still really enjoying it and seeing a lot of room for me to make a great impact!

Friday -

After work, Clint dropped Maci off at Pump It Up (an indoor bounce house place) with her girl scout friends for a few hours of bouncing, pizza and craft fun
At the same time, I headed to Rock Elm after work to meet the girl scout mom's to learn all about the upcoming cookie sale season (HOLY COW THIS IS SERIOUS BUSINESS!) - Get ready Maci will be selling hard once things start in the coming weeks :)
I picked up Maci at 9p when her Pump It Up fun ended and we headed home for bed - we were all dead after only 2 days back at our routines!!

Saturday -

Started our routine again with Dance (got our tap costume for "see you later alligator") followed by Soccer (Maci is on the blue team this new season)
We had lots of to dos around the house and I finally ran to the grocery around 6p
It was in the 40s (SO NICE!) so of course that meant fire time with the neighbors - we made my friend Gena's Margarita recipe and brought a pitcher over
Such a fun evening of conversation and some cocktails - we ended around midnight when we all realized our kids would be up in a matter of hours UGH - Love our neighbors!

Love the 40s/50s Vibe of Her Costumes This Year - Cant Wait for the Pink One!

Note - Black Leotard Wont be Under it :)

Sunday -

Kids woke up around 730 but fortunately played on iPads and phones until we woke up around 830a
More errands and football today followed by some sledding led by Clint and Nate for the kiddos in the hood
I have been taking care of benefit changes, birthday party planning for M and cleaning up some reading for the new job
Clint and I plan to wrap up our Sunday evening with the showing of my addiction - Dirty John!

He has gotten way more into dressing up as super hero
