Countdown to Spring Break has Started!!!

Weekdays:

• Monday - Rosie got her grooming and looks lovely!  Maci had her soccer training and game face conditioning in the evening.  She was the only one that signed up for Monday this week so it was 1:1 which she loves!  We are so different on that, as a kid I would have hated to be 1:1 with an adult but she loves the specialized attention, feedback etc.  While we were there, I had a really nice chat with the new girls director.  It is so humbling but smile inducing when these adults share how impressed they are by our child.  Not only her talents and work ethic but her attitude, smile and just awesome teammate behaviors!  She sure is a special gal and we are blessed she is ours :)
• Tuesday -  Maci had training in the evening with her fav instructor Ashley.

Won his first battle royal in Fortnight

I have 0 clue what that means but happy for him :)

• Wednesday - I decided to work from home from this day onward.  My boss was on her spring break in Costa Rica and my main business leader that I support was in Germany on his spring break so easier to have 0 commute.  We also had no evening kid activities - wahoo!!!  I had a catch up with my bestie Christie which was super fun and much needed!

I sent Clint this pic and said, your dog is strange! HA

• Thursday - Working from home again so I can have the NCAA on in the background.  Love this time of year!  We went to the Wayzata boys basketball semi final state championship game that night.  They crushed the Creighton Durham Raiders!  Such a fun game!  We then left and it was snowing like crazy - yes, snow!  We didn't have it all winter and now snow :(

This kid loves basketball, a hot dog and a coke

Friday : 

• Another fun day of NCAA on in the background while working
• I headed out to meet my gal pal Nicole around 430p for happy hour and beers over basketball
• While I was gone, Clint ran Connor to and from his pal Leo's birthday party at Dave n Busters
• I got home around 9p, watched some more basketball with the family and then passed out on the couch after a long week.

Saturday :

• Started the day with a massage at 9a - lovely!
• I then ran a basket of clothes to a consignment store - they only bought a few things and I made $19 - may not have been worth my time. 
• However, while I was waiting on them to sort, I called my parents and wandered around Hobby Lobby which was a nice little Saturday morning.
• I then ran to pick up Maci from gymnastics at 1130a
• We ran by Goodwill to donate all the items the consignment shop didn't purchase.
• We picked up some quick lunch and then Maci was off to soccer practice at 1p.
• I took a super nice long Saturday nap!
• We got some stuff done around the house and then it was time to head to the Wayzata state championship game.
• We ate at Oak Eatery first.  Then we got to the game and sat with a lot of our friends.
• Unfortunately, Wayzata did not look like themselves from the start of the game.  They kept it close throughout but could never quite overcome their "off-ness" and they lost the state title after only have 1 loss before this the entire year and having beat this team 2x already.
• Connor balled on the way to the car, he was so distraught for his team, the seniors and especially his "idol" Jackson McAndrew - our stud 6'9" senior that is heading to Creighton next year.
• We got home and watched Creighton pull off the W in your 2nd OT and then finally headed to bed at midnight.

Connor wanted the W so bad, poor buddy!

Sunday :

• We all slept in until almost 930a - lovely after staying up so late the night before!
• Ugh snowmagedon is upon us!  Thankfully it doesn't seem to be sticking to the roads but we will see what it does overnight.
• Fortunately, it is great weather for a day at home watching basketball and getting things done!
• Maci was supposed to have a soccer scrimmage at 7p but this got cancelled in prep for the impending weather.
• We enjoyed basketball all day and Maci played in the snow for a bit after baking.  
• Connor was off to the Timberwolves game at 430p with his buddy Grady and their family.  Poor guy fell asleep in their car on the way down to the game.  Fortunately he can usually rally after a car nap so hopefully he is having a blast right now and can get to bed at a decent time even after having the game.

Maci's latest baking adventure

We are excited for the snow to melt, week to fly by and then a trip to the Bahamas with our dear friends for Spring Break starting this weekend!!

Lots of Love,
