Labor Day, Back to School + Sports, Sports & More Sports!

Last Sunday
We won $250 in Pull Tabs After Church
So we had dessert, naturally ;-)
Weekdays
:

  • Monday - It was a HOT Labor Day!  We got some stuff done around the house and then headed to the Harty's around 1p for some swimming and chilling.  We wrapped late in the afternoon in time for everyone to make their dinners, pack book bags and get to bed at a good time.  We were having such a nice day that we completely forgot about Connor's soccer practice at 6p - whoops!
  • Tuesday - Happy 1st day of school!!!  The kids were all so excited to get ready and to see Mr Mike on the bus.  They said they had great days and are so happy to be riding the bus home vs doing after school care.  I got home in time to take Maci to Connor's Flag football practice/game - Clint and Connor were already on their way there.  They lost a tight one 21-14 but dang if Connor didnt focus and kept a great demeanor throughout the whole game - proud of that stud!  Clint got home in time to get one of his fantasy drafts complete.

Bus Fun
  • Wednesday - Another great day of school/work followed by a quick happy hour for me with my coworker Jillian.  I then headed to Maci's soccer practice b/c I was pick up after Clint had dropped off.  We had a nice chat about school on the drive home and once home, Clint was doing 2 fantasy drafts at the same time HA
Connor's Class
  • Thursday - Clint and I both worked from home.  Maci and I ran up to the uniform exchange for her soccer program at 5p.  We got her some new shorts as her original ones are TINY!  While we were at it we decided to grab 2 pairs of blue and white socks.  We hustled home so Clint and I could head with Connor to his 2nd flag football game.  Maci got to hang at home for a bit and go to/from soccer practice with Quinn Eull's family.  Connor's team did way better this night and won like 27-0.  We got home and sat down to watch the Thursday night game.  Super fun to hear of Joe's contract and watch the Chiefs lose by 1 at home :)

Love these boys


Friday
  • We both worked from home again and had super productive days
  • I took a break from work around the time the bus was arriving, gorgeous day outside.  The kids were excited to see me outside and I got to catch up with our neighbor Allison who was also there.
  • Maci went to the park to hang with her gal pals from the 'hood for a bit.
  • We ordered pizza as an early dinner because we had to hustle up to the High school for the football game.  It was youth night and all the youth football teams got to take the field ahead of the game, high five the players and listen to the National Anthem with them.  It was super cute!
  • Connor had a blast with all his little buddies and Maci enjoyed walking the stadium with her gal pals, they were like mini teenagers!
  • Unfortunately the Wayzata Trojans lost by 1 when the other team went for 2 and got it to beat them vs tying it up :(

Saturday :
  • Started the day with Connor's first soccer game at 9a.  He had a huge goal from outside the penalty box and their team won like 15-1.  It got to the point where they had to tell them not to kick the ball past a certain line.
  • Clint left a little early with Maci as she had her first gymnastics class for the season with her pal Aanya.  I got some stuff done around the house and then went to get her at 1130a
  • Once home, Maci met up with her pal Livi at the neighborhood park for a bit
  • I took a nap on the couch during the OSU game and Clint laid grass seed
  • Clint wrapped in time for his Toledo game and Maci got home in time to go hang with her pal Rowan for a few hours.
  • Around 5p we started to get ready for the MN United FC Soccer game with our pals the Hintze and Stengel families (soccer peeps)
  • The MN team kept taking shots but couldn't get them to fall - we were losing 0-1 until the final seconds when our goalie pulled all the way up on a corner kick.  He got a foot on it after the kick and passed to our forward who put it in - GOAL!!!  We ended up tying 1-1 with the game ending seconds later.  It was super fun!

Sunday :
  • We took the dogs for a walk and enjoyed some coffee.  I got groceries ordered, laundry moving etc and before we knew it we had to leave for Maci's soccer game.  
  • She had a game at 1230p in Chaska.  We played CC United and lost 0-1.  It was such a great and intense game!  The other team only scored the 1 with about 5 mins left in the game and unfortunately it actually came off the foot of our defender attempting to clear it out but hit the corner of the goal.  The girls kept their heads high and Maci was all smiles after having a great personal game as well.
  • We hurried home as I watched the Bengals on my phone.  While I was watching on the phone we were losing but only like 3-0 or 10-0.  I got home and the wheels came off the bus with the Bengals ultimately losing 3-24 (YUCK!)
  • Now we are enjoying the Dolphins game and getting everything prepared for the week.
We hope you all have a wonderful week ahead!  I am off to Houston for a few days with work and Clint will hold down the fort with week 2 of school.
Lots of Love,
C, K, M & C
