Burrow's Busted Arm, Christmas Light's Up & Almost Thanksgiving Break!

Weekdays:
  • Monday - Connor had basketball practice at 6p so Clint did that with him, assistant coach, while Maci and I hung together at home.
  • Tuesday - I had leadership team meetings for one of the businesses I support.  That led to a team dinner in the evening - yummy Seabass and wonderful conversation was had with a lovely group of leaders!  Back at the ranch, Maci had her first day of choir practice after school.  Thankfully 2 other girls in our hood are doing it so Harper's mom is the driver to bring the girls home on Tuesday, Livi's mom on Wednesday and Clint does Thursday's.  Also, while I was at my leadership dinner, Maci had a training session at the new Fusion soccer indoor center.
  • Wednesday - I presented at a townhall for the global Optum Health tech team which means ~3k people watching (something I dont tell myself when going on stage or I may increase the nervous level HA)  The townhall went well and then we wrapped day 2 of leadership meetings.  That night I took Maci to her soccer practice and cleaned emails/listened to music while walking the track - nice to get some steps in!
  • Thursday - Clint picked up Maci from school for choir practice.  That night we all got settled in for the Bengals game and then there was the arm injury - Ugh!!!  Time to cheer on other teams I like and hope we can limp into the playoffs? Blah!  Early to bed, couldnt even watch to the end.
Friday : 
  • Super productive day of working from home!
  • Got the call from school around lunch that Connor was crying and complaining of a headache.  We got him home, gave some Tylenol, put down for a nap and then he was up and at 'em a little after Maci got home and felt much better!
  • Clint and I had a follow up call with our Financial Advisor at 3p.
  • I wrapped work and we were off to Turkey Bingo at the school.
  • We had a lot of fun playing 10 rounds of Bingo but no winners and not even a Raffle prize went our way, that's ok, better luck next year!
Saturday :
  • Connor had a bright and early 8a basketball game, got to love waking to an alarm on Saturdays.
  • He played killer D, had some nice shots and the best moment was when he had a break away, went down the left hand side and made his lay up - dang I would sometimes miss those in junior high HAHA
  • Their team got the big W and we were off to get some bagels for breakfast
  • Swung home quick and then were off to drop Maci at gymnastics while Clint started yard work and helping the neighbor guys put up the ice rink!
  • Grabbed Maci from practice, had a little bit of down time and then she was off to Soccer practice.
  • Since the practice was only an hour, I decided to bring my computer and work from there for 1 hour.
  • During the practice, I caught up with my mom and dad on the phone too
  • Headed home, finished getting laundry rolling, lots of to dos off the weekend list, Clint wrapped yard work and before we knew it, it was time to get ready for date night.
  • Our sitter, Steph - summer nanny, came at 545p and we were off to Top Golf to meet up with Jacey/Ryan and Gena/Vinny.  I did ok at Top Golf, Clint won - of course!
  • Then we went to Young Joni's for dinner at 830p - they have super random but yummy pizza creations!
  • We got home around 1115, caught up with Steph and then were off to bed.
The photo booth was a hoot!!
Sunday :
  • We picked up our holiday wreath from church and the Holy Name boy scout troop, fun to see it becoming that time of year!
  • Clint was outside most of the day doing the holiday lights with the neighbors.
  • I got all the things done inside and Maci/Connor left to their neighbor friend Harper/Colton's house to play after lunch.  It is so cool that they can now ride bikes together over to their buddies' houses.  They feel so cool doing it too!
  • The kids got home around 330p and Maci quickly changed for soccer practice. 
  • I ran her up to the dome for her 4p practice and then headed home to put away laundry.
  • Practice wrapped at 515p and then we headed home to order some tacos for dinner.
  • Kids are now showering and relaxing with tablets, we are all about to eat and Clint and I are watching all the afternoon football games.
Loving the new record player and record stand in our dining room
Listened all morning while doing chores and drinking coffee in the kitchen

We are all so excited for our 2 day work/school weeks!!!  Just got to make it through Mon/Tues and then we get 5 days off with just us!  We will miss family this year but will make the most of it!  We have a list of productive and fun things we plan to do all through the long weekend!

We wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving week!  Love and miss you all!
Lots of Love,
C, K, M & C
