So we missed getting last week's blog done so lots of catching up to do!!!
Week of April 1st
- Monday
- Trip home from Gulf Shores
- Tuesday
- 1st day back to work and Maci started with the spring break camp through school which meant she had a field trip to Science Museum
- Wednesday
- Connor had gymnastics at night
- Thursday
- Friday
- Maci had a tooth extracted but took it like a champ! It was one she had filled and capped about a year ago but it was starting to have issues at the gum, since it was baby they would rather take it and then put in a spacer since well she has her moms mouth which means over crowding and braces in her future :(
- I took the bus to and from work because it was starting to get nutty down town with the Final 4 fun
- Neil (great buddy from college) and his friend Alex landed in MN around 1130p - before they got here, Clint and I got groceries ordered, house cleaned, laundry done etc.
- We stayed up way too late 2a catching up!!
- Saturday
- Maci had dance and Clint took her so I could be here when the boys woke up
- Around lunch we all took a bus downtown to check out the NCAA Final Four events
- I showed my family my office right by the stadium and Neil/Alex headed to the game to check it out before tip off
- Clint and I were exhausted from Friday night so we cancelled our sitter and crashed on the couch watching the games
They Loved Neil!
Stadium Fun
Maci Enjoying the Events
Family Fun!
The Trophy!
- Sunday
- All of us are feeling the exhaustion so we laid around on the couch and watched Neil's fav soccer team win the semi final of a European tournament
- Around 2p we finally started to get up and moving and beat mine and my mom's record on photo hunt!
- We had some beers and our sitter arrived around 4p
- We headed down to Downtown Wayzata on lake Minnetonka for drinks at the Muni, followed by dinner at 6 Smith (YUM!) and then finally darts and way too many drinks at Inn Ka Hoots by our house - while we paid for it on Monday and even Tuesday (SO TIRED!) It was so dang fun - almost like being in college with Neil all over again - so many laughs and just such a great friend!
We Beat the Record!!!
Sunday Funday!
FaceTimed Christie Girl from the Muni
Dinner Fun!
Ugh the Red Bull Vodkas - Killed Me!
Week of April 8th
- Monday
- I had planned to take the bus but couldn't get my rump out of bed on time and I forgot I had to go buy cupcakes for a Marketing all hands meeting so I ran Connor to school, Maci was back to school via the bust post spring break, and then I stopped by the grocery for 2 dozen cupcakes. I wanted to die while standing in line with those cupcakes. I got downtown no problem and actually found a garage for only $10 that was within a quick 2 min walk of my building + the weather was AMAZING! Around 2p I decided to take a meeting from the car so I could get out of town well before the Final Game! Smart move!!! While our kids played outside in the glorious weather, I attempted to keep my eyes open. I finally crashed and went to bed at 8p :)
- The boys left to the final game around the same time I got home from work. They had a blast and what a great game it was (I watched highlights) HA!
The Neighborhood Kids Having a Meeting at the Harty's??!! HA
- Tuesday
- Neil got up before we all left to work since they flew home around 4p - they went to Mall of America for a bit before their flight since we didn't fit that into our weekend fun
Connor's Snack Time
- Wednesday
- Connor had gymnastics and Clint took him while I got some work done at home
- Thursday
- We got a freaking blizzard!!! UGH - they closed our office and Maci didn't have school so a day at home it is! Maci was really good for me and watched 2 movies and played outside with the boys for a bit too!
- Friday
- I worked from home again but this time was because I needed to go right at 9a to renew my license (a potential nightmare and waste of time)! I got in and out in 22 mins b/c I beat the rush and then treated myself to a bagel and diet coke on the way home.
- Around 415p I picked up Maci to get her all dolled up for her daddy/daughter dance!!
- Clint got home around 430p too and we took pics before they were off to the Medina Country Club for dinner followed by their dance until 8p.
- Connor and I hit up a sub shop and then watched How to Train Your Dragon at home!
Good Lucking Couple!
Girl Scout Friends and Their Dads
C Man and Momma
- Saturday
- Maci had dance
- We went to an Easter Egg Hunt that while it is getting warmer still threw the eggs on top of snow UGH!
- Lots of errands and efforts around the house while Connor napped and M played outside
- I took a good 1 hour walk with my neighbor pal Tena
- After putting the kids to bed, we headed over to The Harty's (Tena and Nate) for a fire and cocktails - per usual we get laughing and chatting and next thing you know we went home at 1a
Kiddos & The Bunny!
Getting all the Eggs in the Snow (UGH!)
New Spring Flowers in the House Make Me Smile!!!
- Sunday
- Masters Sunday so Clint has been in the basement all morning!
- I got groceries and finished cleaning plus packed for DC as I head tomorrow afternoon until Friday early morning.
- The kids have been playing outside a lot which is awesome. Maci recently headed to the playground with 2 boys from across the street (a little freedom we are letting her try). Connor isn't allowed to go without a parent even though it is a neighborhood park but he is only 3.5. Because I wouldn't let him go the middle brother decided to stay home and play with him until his nap (HOW SWEET!) Then when Connor came in for nap he rode up to the park to meet up with the kids.
- I am likely to take a nap in a bit and I am so grateful this seems to be one of those lazy slow moving Sundays!
- We are looking to dye eggs later today and I will probably get some work done later in the day/evening.
I am so excited for the spring temps in DC and we have the spring temps coming back to us here too so hopefully I don't see the white stuff again until next winter!! We hope you are also getting some fresh air and enjoying the change of season!
Lots of Love,
C, K, M & C
