Mondells in Minneapolis: We got the golden ticket. . .

Monday :

Clint headed to Indy for Work
I totally forgot about a Cincy 6 Video Chat (high school girlfriends) while doing work on the couch

Tuesday :

Clint was in Indy again
I had a workshop for most of my day at work which meant cleaning up on email at night

Wednesday :

Clint came home from Indy but landed at night
Kids had Gymnastics at night
I got to catch up with my former Cargill pals Katie & Amber since their kids also have gymnastics on Wednesday nights!
Clint got home in time to say goodnight to the kiddos

Thursday :

I went to a Retirement Happy Hour after work for Andy (Finance leader at Cargill) - it was so nice to see so many familiar faces and catch up with great people!
After I got home, Clint helped our pal John move an oven and I got a few quick emails done before we crashed for the night

Friday :

WE MADE IT!
I had a busy calendar for a Friday but made the day fly! We had fun celebrating International Women's Day at work too!
After work and school, we all headed to Mall of America to cash in the kids' Build a Bear Gift Cards from the Hollan Family at Christmas
We ate some dinner, built our bears and headed for home
After the kids were in bed, we went over to the Harty's (neighbors across the street) for a bonfire - yep, Minnesotans do that when we finally hit 30 something degrees in the evening after dealing with negative temps forever

Some of the Amazing Ladies I Work with on a Daily Basis!

Happy Intl Women's Day!!

Getting Their Bears Stuffed

Proud New Bear Parents

Connor has Bat Bear in a Batman Costume

Maci has Cotton Candy a Pink Bear in a dress and heels

Saturday :

Boys went to get haircuts while M and I made a quick Target run
Haircuts took FOREVER so we were going to be like 20 mins late for dance so we ended up skipping for the week
We headed to grab bagels and came back for some quiet time instead
I got stuff done around the house and bills paid before M and I headed downtown at 1p for our day date at the Orpheum Theatre - WILLY WONKA!
M and I both loved the musical and we were able to beat the next round of snow - when we left it was only raining and when we grabbed dinner for the family it was starting to do icy rain
We were all cozy at home enjoying dinner when it finally turned to snow
We continued to get to dos done around the house, watched some b-ball and set back our clocks

Sunday :

Clint headed out to do the driveway thanks to a new fresh coating of ~4-5 inches
Connor woke up, saw the boys outside and flew to his snow gear
Maci asked how cold it was and then finally decided to join in - thankfully the temps are getting up to the high 30s and 40s with sun which helps with melting - we continue to hope spring is around the bend!
We really have no other plans today so we are all getting stuff done while mixing in a little bit of "laying around" which makes for a nice little Sunday around this house!!

Kind of Cant Believe We will Swim at that House in About 2.5 Months
