Weekdays :
- So great having grandma here to do crafts, walk to the park, play outside etc!
- Monday - We found out the kids' teachers for the year - Maci has Mrs Hembre who she didn't know but she was super pumped to have many of her pals in her class and Connor has Mrs Eames who Maci had in kindergarten so now mom may be more excited than Connor. We didn't recognize names on the list even though he did pre-K there but I am sure that will change as he gets situated. We also had Maci soccer practice at 6p that evening but I was trying to get some work wrapped up so my mom and Clint took Maci and I hung back with Connor.
- Tuesday - We had the granite in our kitchen refinished, I swear we are almost done with our list of home projects! Connor had his soccer practice, first time I got to see him play and he is great for his age, such a hustler! Afterward, Grandma treated us to ice cream at Honey Mackies and we got home for showers etc.
- Wednesday - Clint smoked some pork for us, yum! Then we headed to Open House at Greenwood. Turns out Connor does know a kid in his class, Jack from his coach pitch team is in the class and the family is so sweet! Then in Maci's class we realized her best friend Nora is sitting right next to her, looking like a great year for both kiddos! We then quickly hustled to Maci's soccer where my mom ran in with both kids while Clint and I did a fast Target run for pencil cases, Nora had cool ones and Maci didn't have any so we needed to get that before day 1 ;-)
- Thursday - Connor and Clint got some haircuts in the morning, fly and ready for the first day of school! We worked the day away and then wrapped around 430p to get ready for the OSU vs U of MN football game. My dear friend Megan has season tickets and they kindly offered two to Clint and I so we met up to tailgate for a bit and then watched the Buckeyes pull out a great W in the rain. We even ran into my college pal from Ohio, Leslie - so great to see her! My mom stayed back to watch the kids and oversaw the delivery of our two camel colored leather Arhaus chairs for the living room, see house is almost done!

Friday -
- MN State Fair Day!!! Maybe one of my favorite days of the year!
- It was an overcast and drizzly rainy day all day but that kept the crowds low and kept temperatures more comfy than other years! We got there around 930a but Clint had to hang back at the parking lot to take a quick work call. When he met us at the fair, we had already had a pickle dog, Maci got a Vikings sweatshirt and my mom, Connor and I all got some MN United soccer gear. Mainly b/c we were chillier than expected so we got me, Connor and Maci hoodies and my mom got this nice black weather resistant jacket.
- We ate so many yummy bites, enjoyed riding rides, playing games, building things and watching performers.
- Finally around 630p we said, ready to roll! We hit the road and were zoning out on the couch ready to sleep around 8p
Heading in and you can see it was wet

Hopefully the only time they are in a cop car

Saturday -
- Grandma leaves today!! :(
- Clint had a massage in the morning and then brought home bagels for all of us
- After the bagels, we took a nice family walk and stopped at the park for a bit - what a gorgeous day!
- We then got some stuff done around the house before running grandma to the airport at 1p
- After we said our goodbyes, we hit up Punch Pizza for a late lunch and then Chuck & Don's for more Rosie food, treats and dog toys
- We then had a chill but also productive day around the house - I ordered some coasters for the new end table and got Maci a kids Fitbit since her junky watches keep having the batteries die.
- We got groceries delivered, way better experience this week! And also ordered Crave's Sushi rolls for dinner.
- Clint and I watched a ton of college football and even took a hot tub dip, first in a long time, before crashing post this week's Ted Lasso.
Sunday -
- Another gorgeous day!!!
- Clint and I got up and had coffee, books, phone on the deck
- We then took a walk with the dogs while the kids held down the fort with their iPads etc
- Clint installed some new Ring cameras in the back of the house while I picked up a picture of the kids for the new frame on the end table in the living room
- Now we are about to dig into some smoked buffalo chicken dip for lunch, Maci is hosting her friend Aria at our house from 2-4p.
- Clint and I may do a run/jog together around 4p after she leaves and then promised the kids some River Inn for dinner.
- LONG LIVE LONG WEEKENDS!!!!
Maci woke before us and gave the dogs peanut butter in their kong
Look at the gorgeous morning and Rosie girl is so glad to have the cone off!!
Tomorrow we have no real plans and that has been a wonderful way to unofficially wrap our summer! The kids both start school on Wednesday (K & 3) and we are all really excited for that bus to come!
We hope you had amazing holiday weekends as well!
Lots of Love,
C, K, M & C
