Another one from last weekend's great time! 
Weekdays :
- Mini Hops Camp
- Mini Hops was a big hit for both kids - they each got to go Mon-Thurs and then we kept them home with us on Friday
- Connor wishes he could stay the whole time but alas 4 year olds have a 1p pick up and he rolls with it pretty well since he gets to come home and basically watch tv while we finish our work days until time to pick up M
- Maci has learned a round off this week and Connor pulled himself up on the bar once - we call that a success!!
- School Year News
- We learned Maci got into the after school care on her go to school days - Mon and Wed
- She did not get into the care on her non school days - we were wanting Tues/Thurs
- Thankfully they still plan to have pre-k go all 5 days so Connor is set and I got Maci into Mini Hops care offering on Tues/Thurs where they will put them in pods basis age and school to first help with school work then do gymnastics the rest of the day
- Thankfully UHG brought back the care benefit so her $65/day at Mini Hops is covered through a work benefit!!! Nice job UHG!
- One tricky week was the week of Labor Day since they pushed back the week of school.
- Maci got into Mini Hops Tues-Thurs of that week but b/c some schools are starting, they won't do 4 year olds - URGH!
- So that week will be Connor at our friend Gena's house (THANK YOU!) Tues and Thurs, Clint is taking off Wednesday and I am going to take a PTO day with both of them on the Friday
- We are rolling with the punches but ready for some sort of routine even if a strange and not so normal set up
- Wednesday Night Fun!
- Wednesday evening I had a virtual happy hour with about 7 of my former NCR colleagues - these are people I worked with when I was 21 and 22 just getting out of college. I haven't worked with many of them in almost 13 years but we picked up like old times. Thanks to Facebook we have a decent feeling for what everyone is doing - we hope to do these more often so fun!!
- After I wrapped my happy hour, Clint hosted weekly golden tee and I headed up for some junk tv while the boys hung out
- Promotion
- As awkward as it is for me to share, I was promoted to Senior Director at work and it was shared on Friday while I was out at lunch with some former Cargill peeps
- I was getting so many sweet text, slack chat notes and emails
- It is so humbling but also super touching how many people took a moment to tell me well deserved and recognize my hard work and effort
1st day of Camp

Friday :
- As noted above, I hit 6 smith for lunch with Pat and Brandon - finance leaders from my last gig at Cargill - so many good laughs and a nice long lunch outside on Lake Minnetonka - perfect way to start the weekend!!
- After work, Clint grabbed wings for our crew and then we streamed our nephew Drew's football game - big senior this year. It was fun to get to watch him on TV since it will be tricky to see a game in person this year!

Saturday :
- Started the morning with a walk before Connor and Clint headed to the barber for haircuts
- Connor looks so good and Maci said he looks like a u tuber - I think that is a compliment HA
- We then played some tennis at the park while the kids ran around the swings/slides - Such a gorgeous morning!
- Later in the early afternoon, Maci and I headed to get our nails done for the 2nd time this summer - she went with a hot pink and neon green every other nail (watermelon was her vision) and I went with a cool dark navy with sparkles - looks like the galaxy.
- Got some stuff done around the house, chilled on the deck with Tena and then had Casey's taco pizza for dinner before Clint headed to the basement for his fantasy football draft and I took the kids across the street for an evening swim.
- Kids showered, I watched some tv and then it was 9p and time to join the neighbors for a fire - Awesome late summer/early fall feeling evening!!
Sunday :
- Productive morning!!! Clint and I took a walk and then started hitting to dos around the house
- Cleaned kids closets and drawers in prep for new school clothes arriving for fall in the accurate sizes
- Made a good will run to drop said clothes
- Kids cleaned their rooms and play room
- Cleaned the guinea pig cage
- Ordered groceries
- Touched up paint around the house
- Cut the grass
- We are now about to have a lovely afternoon at the Harty pool - work hard/play hard!
We have another week of mini hops camp ahead and then we are both taking Friday off to make it a 4 day holiday weekend! We have tickets to the MN drive thru fair on Friday at 11a and we are already strategizing and asking those who have been for tips 💖
We hope you have an awesome week and a wonderful holiday weekend up ahead!
Lots of Love,
C, K, M & C
