Weekdays:
- Monday - Happy New Year!!! We had a fairly lazy day around the house which was nice. We tried to get to bed early since we were back to work Tuesday but that didnt quite go as planned - it is hard getting back in the routine. We did get a few walks in though which felt great!
- Tuesday - Clint and I were back to work but the kids had one last day off of school. Clint thankfully dealt with them as he works from home but I got back out and around people :) It was actually a pretty quiet first work day of the year for both of us (many still out) which was nice! Maci had a soccer training along with a strength and conditioning class - a new thing her club and she is starting this new year. Clint got her up there at 5p and I went there and watched a bit at the end before her 7p pick up.
- Wednesday - Good work days for both of us and a nice first day back at school for the kids! We thankfully had no evening plans so we took a walk and then laid around with early bed times - everyone is so tired!
Enjoy!
I dont purchase all these sports pics so I take screenshots with copyright logos HA
- Thursday - Another good day of the new year, I had a catch up lunch with my former co-worker KK which was nice. We divided and conquered in the evening with Clint and Connor heading to basketball at 6p and Maci and I were off to another soccer training at 630p. This time I decided to work from her practice for the 1 hour.
Friday :
- Clint and I started the day with a bagel run after the kids were on the bus.
- We were both having productive days and I decided I don't want to sit in the basement guest bedroom any longer when I work from home, too dark and isolated. So while Clint was on calls, I moved all my stuff up into the loft area on the 2nd floor. Maci and I both really like it - Clint and Connor are getting use to it. I am able to get way more done both work and personal by having my computer and items within reach of where we all hang out the majority of the time.
- Mid day we also found out that Maci's soccer team is going to St Louis for their out of state tournament at the end of April. This will be a special trip for Maci and I as Clint/Connor will remain home and given it is about a 8+ hour drive, we are going to fly!
- Kids got home off the bus and shortly thereafter Clint was on the road to Joel's cabin up north.
- Maci then road her bike over to her friend's house and Connor played with Oliver outside.
- Come dinner, everyone came home and we ordered Noodles and Co for dinner. Thankfully Clint also made it to Joel's safely.
Saturday :
- Clint had a fun day doing ice festival stuff up at Joel's cabin - seeing some hockey, watching football at the bars etc.
- Back at home, I ran Connor and Maci to Connor's 8a basketball game. We video called my mom and she got to see Connor in action. He wrapped the game with 3 steals and 3 lay ups. Many parents said "well it seems this one has found his sport" We sure do love our Connor man!
- I then ran to HyVee with the kids for a requested "Starbucks run." They crack me up b/c they are like mini adults at times. We grabbed our Starbucks (non coffee for them) and then picked up some donuts from the bakery.
- We hustled home b/c Maci needed to change into Gymnastics gear and then get off to her 10a lesson.
- Connor and I came home, got some things done around here and before we knew it, it was time to go get her again at 1130a.
- We picked up some McDonalds for lunch on the way home.
- Once again, did stuff around the house but again before we knew it, time to run Maci to her 1p soccer practice. Connor said on the way there - "I feel like all we have done is drive here and there - ummm welcome to my weekend bro!"
- We picked Maci up at 2p and we were finally DONE!
- Maci saw her buddies Livi and Harper on the way home and they made plans to meet up post Maci's shower at 245p.
- Connor played his NBA video game and I got a lot done around the house.
- Maci came home around 5p and we had dinner. I was exhausted and went to lay in bed around 8p and the kids were all cozy in there rooms too!

These dogs have a new fav place to hang

Doesnt hurt that Clint was out of town
Cutest Little Journal Entry from Connor for Clint
The early 8a Basketball game started to catch up to this one by Soccer Practice pick up
Sunday :
- We all slept in until around 830a.
- Clint was on his journey home around 930a and got here at noon.
- I got all my laundry done and other weekend to dos including putting away groceries.
- Connor got an offer to go to Chuck's house to play today after lunch. This also got him out of going to Maci's soccer game.
- At 215p we had her game vs CC United. Our girls looked GOOD! We won a hard fought battle with only 2 subs in a 2-0 victory! Maci had some beautiful touches/passes. She had to play 1/2 of the 2nd half in goal and had several saves plus some nice punts! We held our breathe and were happy when her turn was over :)
- We did a quick errand run, came home to keep hitting the to do list and then Clint ran to pick up Connor.
- We just finished some Olive Garden for our dinner. Connor is taking his bath, Maci is chilling in jammies "exhausted" and Clint is yelling at the Dolphins on TV. I was glad to see the Bengals end out with a good W and a winning record - so close to making the dance - there is always next year.
We hope you are finding fun things to do in this post holiday winter as football starts to wrap up too!
Lots of Love,
C, K, M & C
