Mom Spends the Week in DC & Maci has a Soccer Tournament in the Rain!

Weekdays : 

  • Monday - I worked for a bit from home along with Clint but then he drove me to the airport around lunch time.  I was off to DC until Thursday evening for quarterly business reviews.  Connor enjoyed builders club after school.  The 3 of them then had a relaxing evening thanks to Maci's soccer practice getting cancelled due to weather (WHERE IS SPRING?!) while I got settled in my hotel, grabbed a few drinks with co-workers and had a fabulous dinner!
  • Tuesday - Maci had her girls on the run after school and then soccer pictures in the evening.  A huge thanks to Tena who gave her an awesome French braid for her pictures!  I presented at our townhall as a part of the QBR and then road a bus with the leadership team to Hernden VA to meet up with some of our broader team for a happy hour.  We then road the bus back to our dinner spot in DC.
FaceTime with Momma!
  • Wednesday - Another pretty chill day for Clint and the kids.  I had another full day of meetings followed by an office tour and happy hour at the new DC spot and then another team dinner before crashing for the night.
Catching up with Adrianna who is leaving Optum to go work for Row!!
  • Thursday - Maci had another day of Girls on the Run after school and then soccer practice in the evening.  I wrapped up our meetings around noon DC time, took a few quick calls and grabbed lunch with the team before scooting to the airport around 2p.  We had so much time to kill that we sat and grabbed a drink and just caught up - 3 of us were on the same flight home.  Thankfully it was a smooth flight and I got a lot of work done.  When we landed, the kids and Clint were on their way to get me after having just wrapped Maci's soccer practice at 730p.  We all got home around 830p and were ready to climb into bed!  Always good to be home!!
Friday
  • Clint and I both worked from home and started our day by grabbing some bagels - yum!
  • After work, Clint picked up the kiddos and we had some pizza delivered.
  • Maci had her first night with the Level 1 competitive gymnastics team which means she didn't start until 630p.
  • Her soccer pal Teagan is in the same Level 1 class and given her sister had a hockey tourney, we helped by taking Teagan to gymnastics.  Christina, her mom, then repaid the favor by bringing Maci home for us when it ended at 8p
  • Clint and I enjoyed watching the draft while I got some things caught up around the house and waited for her to get home.
Saturday
  • Such an ugly rainy day!
  • Clint and I got a lot of things done around the house b/c we have a super busy kids sports weekend!
  • By 130p we were off to Blaine, 30 mins from home, for Maci's first soccer game.  While it was wet and cold and all around nasty - the girls played amazing in the first game and won 12-0!  Maci had 2 goals and several assists - they were awesome!  We had a brief break where we wandered around Target and got some snacks.  Then in game two it was a tougher match up but they pulled out a 3-2 win and Maci had the 3rd goal with a SWEET shot!  Thankfully some parents got it on video so I was able to post it on Facebook/Instagram!
  • We got home, all tried to warm up, ran laundry for the next days uniforms (shocked the white ones turned out white again!) and watched some TV before calling it a night.
Ready to be back at it in the great outdoors!
Sunday
  • Another rainy cold day! UGH!
  • Got up and got some more things done around the house.
  • Clint and Connor were off to his Flag Football pictures, practice and game by 1030a
  • Maci and I put away groceries and then were off to Blaine again around 12p
  • Connor's Flag Football team WON and he had a touchdown, 2 point conversion and several amazing flag grabs - Clint who is very hard to impress said that Connor was a beast on defense!!
  • Maci's team froze in freezing rain for game 3 of the weekend and had a heart breaking loss of 1-2. We had a quick break where we enjoyed some 5 Guys.  Then game 4 was on the muddiest field with legit pools of water forming.  It was comical but we also felt awful for these girls.  However, they worked their tales off and won 2-0.  Maci played goalie for the first time all weekend but didn't mind it b/c she got to stand in a dry spot on the field AND she never had to touch the ball HAHA!  The girls showed so much fight and resiliency in just the nastiest conditions for 2 straight days!  We are so proud of them and their 3-1 record this weekend and are pumped for the season ahead.
Boys before pictures & Connor all ready for his!

The Muddy Gals!


We start to get super busy starting this week with Connor's baseball starting, Maci's soccer really ramping up and Connor continuing to have Flag Football on Sundays.  However, this is our favorite time of year. We love watching our athletes grow in their abilities and teaming!  Oh and it helps that this week is supposed to be in the high 50s and 60s and DRY!

We hope you had a wonderful weekend!
Lots of Love,
C, K, M & C
