New Advent Wreath and Tom the Tree in his new home
Monday :
- Day 1 of Maci full distance learning and quickly realized since it is all zoom, she can stay home on Mon/Wed and get her work done and not need too much help
- Did our Elfster gift exchange secret Santa drafting with the Gilroy family so now I need to start shopping!!
- I had a dentist appointment at 6p and thankfully got a clean bill of health
Tuesday :
- What a crazy long day!
- To end the crazy day I got some great news from my boss and a much appreciate total rewards message 😊makes the crazy moments and long hours worth it, at times HA
Wednesday :
- Maci had monthly religion class and Clint took her since he is heading on a work trip next week, I appreciate him attempting to carry his load since he knows what it can be like with the kids solo for the week
- Later that night, we made the difficult decision to stay in MN for Christmas and New Years this year and avoid all the hustle bustle and COVID concerns
- Afterward, I spoke with my mom while Clint started boys golden tee night
Sight Words with a Friend
Thursday :
- Hair Appointment at 5p which made me feel so pretty and got some good work done while waiting
- Came home and got ready for hot tub fun with the Harty's - no football so we talked Christmas plans, ice rink ideas and played good music
Friday :
- We dropped our gift exchange gifts at the Cassem house in the evening and then drove around to see some lights
- Clint and I then watched the Family Stone which made me cry and Clint say "what is this movie"
Playground fun at School - Connor has the stripped hat
Clint Grabbed Connor a little early and so he played outside with Maci and the Harty's
Tena sends me this pic of Connor up in a tree - OMG
Thankfully he was already down by the time she sent the picture - Oh Connor!
Saturday :
- Ugh so we get up and start to walk down the stairs at about 830a and I slip my heel on a step and fall down 5 stairs with my tailbone taking a huge hit
- I proceeded to ice and lay around all day UGH! I started the show the Crown and attempted to do some laundry and stuff like that here and there
- We ordered some Grizzly's for dinner and I ordered for delivery from CVS an inner tube to sit on UGH
- After dinner, we joined our New Momma and Friend Zoom Christmas - all the kiddos loved their gifts and it was fun to see our friends, even if hard to hear over all the kid noise
- Then it was bedtime and Clint and I went to neighborhood outdoor fire - I drank water, popped pain meds and headed home around 1030p to lay down and enjoy The Crown but Clint drank bourbon and hung till midnight
Sunday :
- A true miracle, I woke up feeling far less stiff than I had feared! I still couldn't Peloton b/c well you sit on a bike seat - OUCH!
- The kids headed outside with Clint and the other neighborhood dads to start on the Ice Rink - the men bought all the wood for the boards on Saturday
- While they were out, I was able to put away laundry, order groceries, wrap gifts, order remaining Christmas gifts etc. Such a productive day after laying on the couch like an invalid all day yesterday HA
- A few moments ago, I went out to see the rink, wait for future pictures! Boards are almost all up and then they will start the liner/water process to make ice. Needless to say all Mondells are getting skates as an early Christmas present! It should be a great option for us to survive this COVID winter and enjoy the outdoors!
- Now we are about to eat some pasta dinner, finish watching football and do work prep for the week.
We hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season and hopefully finding ways to be festive even if it is completely different this year! 🎄🎄
Lots of Love,
C, K, M & C
