Weekdays:
- Monday - Last day at the WI Dells. We slept in, got packed up, went to breakfast at Mr Pancake and then came back to the hotel to do the ropes course and the playground. While the kids did those activities, it allowed Clint and I time for a final cocktail and to order groceries, prep for the week etc. We then did the drive home and arrived around dinner time and time to get laundry rocking.
- Tuesday - Lots of things accomplished on the home front: Clint got a crack in his windshield fixed, we had the internet company out to switch out our routers and we had the AC serviced for the year (better late than never, they kept rescheduling) That night, Maci had night 1 of soccer tryouts. She was proud of herself and smiled the whole ride home.
- Wednesday - Happy 15 Years of Marriage Clint!!! Our nanny was awesome and stayed late this night so we could enjoy dinner at 6 Smith. YUM! We had a great cocktail, good steaks and fun conversation. Even with a busy week at work, this was a nice break in the week to enjoy each other.
- Thursday - Maci had gymnastics in the morning. In the evening it was night 2 of tryouts which Clint ran her to because I was hosting some former Cargill finance pals for Happy Hour. However, they left in time for me to pick her up and attend the parent meeting. Maci was beaming! She felt like she worked so hard and had 2 goals! She even cheered up some anxious teammates after the team meeting. Now we start the waiting game!
Friday :
- We both had nice slow but productive days at home on the work front. I totally got it wrong that Maci was to have a slumber party but that is NEXT Saturday not this Friday. Thankfully Maci was quite understanding and played with the friend online instead.
- Connor had a friend Chuck over for a play date in the late afternoon/early evening and we ordered pizza for dinner.
- Our whole family cheered on the Women's US soccer team to victory. Maci was so excited with Megan R was brought in off the bench even though she didnt look super on point.
- Clint and I wrapped the night with a walk and some New Girl.
Saturday :
- Clint had his massage at 8a
- I then had mine at 915a while Clint and Connor got haircuts
- Afterward, Clint ran Connor over to Chuck's house to swim and play from 1030a to 230p - Nice!
- I got home and napped on the couch for a bit before ordering our groceries
- We had a pretty chill afternoon in general but then got the place ready for our Mommy & Me Friends - Fikes and Cassems
- They all came over around 5p. We had cocktails, grilled out, listened to a live DJ spin for about 90 mins on Tik Tok that I have been following, booked our cabin trip for next summer and laughed. While we did this, the kids played inside, kicked soccer balls outside, jumped on the neighbors trampoline and went to the big park together.
- After they all left, we put the kids to bed and joined the Harty's at their fire for a night cap.
Sunday :
- Nice morning of sleeping in!
- Clint made breakfast while we cleaned up the house, emptied dishwasher etc.
- We got a lot done around the house including the kids passport paperwork and apt at the post office so they are ready to roll to Bahamas come spring break!
- We headed to the Barbie movie at 230p as a fun thing to do as a family on a HOT day.
- Once home, I checked email and there it was - Maci made A2 again! After several texts and phone calls, we learned everyone from her team in the spring made A2 again, no one shifted teams!!! We are going to crush it this coming year with so much continuity including our coach, Maggie!!! Maci was so excited to have all her teammates together :)
- To celebrate, we headed to Applebees - Maci's choice for dinner and now they are enjoying some dessert while Clint and I prep for the week and get ready for an evening walk.
It is going to be a SCORCHER here this week! We hope you are all staying cool and enjoying these dog days of Summer!!
Lots of Love,
C, K, M & C
