The week of the over hyped snow!!

Weekdays:
  • Monday - There was so much talk about snow later in the week but supposed to have nothing on Monday.  No sooner did I leave the house and get on the express way did it become complete white out conditions.  I made it to work ok and then shortly after getting there it stopped but UGH I hate February.  Given it was President's Day the kids were off school and were going to a Gymnastics camp with their friends Natalie and Stella.  Thankfully that didnt start until 830a so by the time Clint dropped them off the snow stopped.  I picked them up at 430p from the camp and then ran home for dinner.  Clint took Maci to her gymnastics and did some work from there since she was wanting someone to hang and watch this week.
  • Tuesday - The snow may start so it was easier to work from home.  We had the kids come home on the bus and all the news could talk about was this historic storm on the way.  Clint had been planning to go to a brewery that was hosting a country concert but that got cancelled so we hosted Zac and Ben over here for a few beers after the kids went down.  By dinner time we already knew school was closed on Wed and Thurs.
  • Wednesday - All of us worked or were home b/c of snow day.  There was 0 reason the kids needed to be off school as it didnt start snowing until after school closed for the day and even then it wasn't that nutty.  Overreacting for sure!  Maci had her soccer camp cancelled and Connor didnt have religion class due to Ash Wednesday.
  • Thursday - This was supposed to be the crazy day!!!  We cancelled our team offsite on this day b/c of the nutty snow.  We woke up and yes there was snow and drifting but nothing we haven't seen before.  It made more sense for schools to be closed this day but again it was talked about WAY more than it ended up being :)  Soccer practice was also cancelled in the evening due to snow.
Friday : 
  • The kids were finally back at school and it was dress like your fav book character.  Maci was Karen from Babysitters Club and Connor was a Blue Crayon from "The Day the Crayons Quit"
  • I had a 930a Derm apt to have a spot on my eyelid looked at.  Thankfully it was not skin cancer, one potential concern.  However, it was a cyst that they offered to drain (yes, I want it gone).  But removing it required 2 needles, scalpel and cauterizing.  It isn't the prettiest looking spot right now but should heal soon and again glad it wasn't anything more.
  • I headed to the hair dresser to work from there as of 115p
  • Clint headed home around 2p after renewing his license (fun stuff) so that he would be here when the bus gets home
  • I wrapped with my apt around 4p, headed home, cleaned some email, took a quick call and then wrapped for the week.
  • Livi came over around 6p for a sleep over with Maci and we enjoyed a pizza dinner.
  • Connor told us all about how Maci gets to do so many things that he never does - ahh siblings!!
Their Summer Nanny has awesome long hair and does these side braids
Well Maci took an old Elsa hair thing and has been clipping it in and wishing her hair looked like this
She is such a sweetie, cutie pre-teen!!
Saturday :
  • We got up and at 'em to make Cinnamon rolls with the girls.  Plus Clint and I had to get all our tax forms in order for his annual apt with our tax preparer.
  • Clint had that apt at 9a and then by 11a I was heading out with my neighbor friend Tena for some shopping - we head to Costa Rica with them and some other couples in a week!!
  • Tena and I enjoyed some lunch before heading home.  Once I was home the kids were out skating and Clint was taking a quick nap.
  • I joined for nap time, love a good Saturday nap!  Then we decided to get up and head out to eat as a family.
  • We went to Redstone for dinner and afterward picked up the kids some new things at Old Navy and Connor did the sporting cages at Dick's Sporting Goods.
  • Once home, we had the Harty's and Cari (Zach is out of town) over for beers, golden tee and photo hunt.
  • By 1130p we were all exhausted and called it for the night!
This one sleeps hard!  He sure lives the life as this was 830a
Sunday :
  • Got a few things done around the house while Clint worked out.
  • Then I was off to brunch with my friend Katie, used to work with her at Rally.  
  • We haven't caught up since she had some medical issues so it was wonderful to see her!
  • We had a lovely brunch with yummy mimosas and then it was time to head back home.
  • Once home, I started to do laundry, weekly prep etc and Clint was off with his neighborhood buddies for some bar hopping via snow mobiles.
  • It's super quiet at our house right now: Clint is snowmobiling, Maci headed over to Livi's to play as of 230p and Connor has been at the Harty's playing with Nash since before I got home from brunch.
  • While I am completely over winter, I love that the sun is shining in full force today and some of the gosh darn snow is melting!!  Nice little Sunday for sure!!
Lots of Love,
C, K, M & C
