AFC Championship Week!

Weekdays :

• Monday - Maci had her 9 year well check in the afternoon and like we expected, she is super healthy and blows everyone away with her BMI and muscles HA
• Tuesday - Clint ran Maci to her soccer finishing camp in the evening and she continues to just love soccer!
• Wednesday - I worked from home to break up the week and focus on some compensation needs, that time of year!  Maci had soccer in the evening with her usual team training.
• Thursday - Had a good day and actually left work around 430p to get the kids and then catch up with a colleague on the phone for a bit of the evening.  However, Clint and I enjoyed the hot tub just the two of us to wrap the night.

Friday : 

• We both worked from home and had very productive days
• I picked up Connor, brought him home and then ordered pizza for dinner
• Clint picked up Maci and took her to gymnastics before coming home and joining us for pizza 
• I zonked on the couch for a bit before waking up and watching some random tv with Clint.

Saturday : 

• Dang this weekend feels like it is taking forever to get to game day! HA
• Connor had basketball in the morning and Clint took him, they played some 3 on 2 and Connor was on the 2 side - I hear those 2 killed it HA - he sure does love hoops!
• I got Connor signed up for some football camps this summer and Maci for girls on the run after school in the spring.
• I then had a lazy afternoon which included looking at my new headshot for work while Clint worked on redoing our unfinished basement to make it more of a comprehensive home gym and painting a new bathroom door for the kids bathroom.
• At 6p we headed out for date night - I got to use my new golf clubs from Christmas - we hit up a new golf simulator place right by our house.  We enjoyed drinks, apps and golfing.  I am not very good is what I learned but also not horrible so will be fun to see how things go outside this spring/summer.  Afterward we hit up the local bar scene HA - Innkahoots for a beer and then Stanchion for a few.  I got a few Who'Deys as I had to rock my vest as my coat for the night.

Sunday : 

• The day is here.  If they do the damn thing, my siblings may be in on traveling out to LA to be there for the big game.  I sure hope it is a good game and I pray our boys can find a way to get it done!  This has been such a fun run, irrespective of the outcome!  I am getting all to dos done so the rest of the day can be nothing but football!!!  I hope you are also enjoying championship Sunday!

Lots of Love,

Maci Turns 9 and Bengals Keep Winning!!!!

Weekdays : 

• Monday - Holiday!!  We all got to have a quiet and dare I say almost boring day at home but given we never get a chance to be bored at home, it was welcomed!  We watched shows, read, puzzled, played in snow/snowmobiled etc.
• Tuesday - Maci got to be star student this week so she took in her poster and pictures today to share with the class.  In addition, it was also Rosie's 1st birthday - what an awesome dog she is!!  Maci then had soccer in the evening while I had a team dinner to kick off our team offsite for the week here in MN.

We totally have a dog in Rosie that wants to ride along everywhere we go and the kids are a Ok w. this!

Happy 1st Birthday Rosie!

• Wednesday - I had another day of team offsite meetings, great discussions!  Clint also went into the office today.  I had a happy hour with the team after work and Clint was going to take M to soccer but life happens, he was running late and they decided to stay home.  Been there, done that!
• Thursday - Last day of our offsite and ended around lunch.  Left work around 430p for my hair apt. I got to clean email and enjoy a night at the salon getting my hair color and cut.  Clint kindly brought me some dinner to the salon and he hung with the kids until I got home around bedtime.

Friday : 

• To wrap the week of star student, 3rd graders are then star scientist.  Maci was so excited to do her glitter germ experiment.  We had recorded her doing it but she also wanted to do it live.  She rocked it!
• Clint and I both worked from home and I was supposed to have my annual physical at 3p but as I was on my way to the apt, I got a call that my Dr just went home sick and they needed to reschedule - dodged that bullet likely!
• I then picked up Maci for gymnastics while Clint picked up Connor for errands - while we were at gymnastics they picked up 2 liters, Papa Murphy pizza and an ice cream cake
• We met back up at Applebees for dinner and beers

Star Scientist - so Excited!

Saturday : 

• Busy but Awesome Day!!!
• We started the day with Clint going for a 8a massage apt
• He got home and we were all off to Connor's basketball - Maci and I hadn't seen it yet and while yes he is 6, he clearly knows what he is doing and is above average for his age HA
• Then we grabbed a late breakfast/early lunch before dropping me and M at home
• Clint and Connor were off to Connor's haircut at 1120a
• I spoke to my brother about the big upcoming game and got the house ready for M's party
• 12p - mobile spa arrived and so did 7 little girls!
• We had a great party from 12-3p and when the last girl was picked up (well not Natalie b/c she stayed the night) I cracked a beer and dove to the couch as the Bengals were coming on at 330p!
• I stayed glued to the couch, the tv and my phone for the next several hours and once again collapsed to the ground when we hit the game winning 52 yard field goal!!!!
• I was so touched by all the text well wishes I was getting - I think I make it pretty well known I love my Bengals!
• We watched the 49ers Packers game (Ouch for Packers fans!) and got the kids ready for bed but didn't force a bed time - I think they crashed between 10-11p

Spa Party Fun!

Playing w. Gidget & Yes, that is a Hat on a Guniea Pig HAHA
