Super Bowl Sunday & Sub Zero Temps

Weekdays

• Monday we had Maci's first communion parent meeting in the evening - with COVID she will do her 1st communion on either a Tues or Wed evening special mas in May with only 1st communion kiddos vs the usual all parish Sunday mass in May - at least she gets to enjoy the sacrament and wear her white dress (Maci's fav part!)
• Tuesday Maci had her 8 year old well screening - the Dr commended us on how great M is and how muscular she is (no surprises) - she was an on the nose 50% for height and about 55% for weight - such a good girl!
• Wednesday we both went into the office for the first time on the same day since March - At night, Maci had her monthly religion class and Clint took her while I picked up Connor and had dinner on our own
• Thursday I went into the office again, thinking of doing 2 days a week from now on just for some variety.  At night, I was exhausted so we skipped our usual hot tub fun and watched some of our Virgin River instead

Connor's Teacher Ms Mindy is Great at Taking Pics

1st Pic - Louie, boy next to Connor, lives in our 'hood - there are actually ~8 Fall Kindergartners in our 'hood 😃

2nd Pic - Reminds me when the teachers told my mom before kindergarten that I didn't draw a neck on my person 😉

3rd Pic - Masks aren't required in PreK b/c well see 4/5 year olds and the ability to keep them on but I love how Connor sometimes has his on yet not quite the right way, under his chin 😳 oh and they are making groundhogs

4th Pic - Who doesn't love story time?!  Connor is rocking his school spirit with the Wayzata sweatshirt!

Weekend 

• Friday 
• PCS our contractor came to start picking out windows as our arbitration with the insurance company is finally rescheduled for March 
• The day went smoothly for both of us and then it was time to head to Gymnastics for the kids
• They both had a ball and then we headed home to meet our delivery dinner from Rusty Taco (Yum, had never tried but will be doing them again!)
• Put the kids to bed and then watched more Virgin River until I crashed

Class Pics

Love the 2nd Silly Face One especially with Connor and his buddy Anna (Mickey shirt)

• Saturday 
• Maci had her soccer at 8a, why does that feel so early?!
• Clint got a haircut and had a massage while I got grocery, laundry and other things around the house done.  We also booked our annual trip to the WI Dells for August!
• I then did some puzzling in the afternoon while we finished Virgin River episode 2, can't wait for 3 to come out!
• At 430p we ran Maci to Natalie's house for her birthday sleep over, a straight swap of what we did at our house 2 weeks earlier :)
• After dropping M, Clint, Connor and I headed for our fav River Inn - we haven't been since they were allowed to open back up - service and food was amazing!!!  Clint can't believe it took him this long to try the prime rib and I was so excited to eat my large shrimp!  Connor was just excited he didn't have to share a lava cake 4 ways, just 3 :)
• Once again I was just dragging, I blame winter and 2 cocktails at dinner so instead of fire or pool, we crashed!

Connor fell asleep in the car on the way to dinner

Can you tell he still isn't fully awake when waiting in the warming house for a table, pic 1?? 

Then he gets his root beer and all is good again

Meanwhile Maci was having a "fancy" dinner at Natalie's

• Sunday 
• Slept in until Connor told us it was morning and we needed to get up - 830a
• We got around and Clint ran to get M and some breakfast plus a Target pick up while Connor and I got some things done around the house and I started work prep (need to be done for Super Bowl fun~)
• We made Skyline Dip + Smoked Buffalo Chicken Dip and will head over to the Harty's around 430p for the evening - I am hoping for a good game and some fun commercials even though a lot of the main ones pulled out - either way it will be nice to have a night that feels a bit like normal times + a warm home to watch it in given we finally got winter with sub zero temps this entire weekend YUCK!

We hope you had a great week and are also on the countdown to spring!  We can't wait to get a little warmer again to enjoy the outdoors vs hiding from them.  Until then. . . 

Lots of Love,

C, K, M & C
