LA Visit & NCAA Dancing Time!!

Weekdays:

• Monday - Happy Birthday to our neighbor Tena!  Maci had her training and game face but game face strength training got cancelled b/c the trainer couldn't come last minute.  I took her home and then started packing early for LA.
• Tuesday - Clint ran me to the airport after the kids got on the bus.  This is probably the closest I have ever cut it and boarded with Zone 2 even though I was Zone 1 but that is where we were by the time I got to the gate :)  It was a smooth, easy flight to LA, thank goodness!  We went straight to the office and got to work.  We then had dinner/drinks at the office to connect.  While I was doing that, Maci had a quick soccer training before Clint and the kids went to the tournament game for Wayzata who spanked Hopkins to move on in the tournament.  Dang are we having fun watching these high school basketball games!  I was jealous to miss!!

Connor goes all out with the Wayzata Trojan gear!

Maci goes no where without her cross body bag :)

• Wednesday - Full day of offsite meetings for me.  Clint ran Connor to and from religion for the evening.  I went to a Pakistan restaurant in Englewood, not my fav but good company.  We then hung at the hotel bar for a few drinks before calling it for the night.
• Thursday - I attended and spoke at a women in tech event before flying to the airport for our noon flight out of LA.  That flight had a way bumpier climb and had my blood pressure on high for the first 30-45 mins.  It finally smoothed out and I was able to get some work done.  On the Uber ride home, I listened to the PTA meeting with the Middle School principal.  While I did that, Clint had ran Maci to her soccer practice and then was chilling at the house while Connor, Grady and Anders played video games upstairs.  Kari kindly drove Maci home from Soccer.  I ordered some Chick Fil A, ate, showered and went to bed by 8p.  Why is it so hard to sleep when traveling?!

Friday:

• Got a good night sleep!
• After kids left, we did our bagel run 
• I had a few morning calls but then was able to really attack the to do list and get caught back up
• Clint ran Maci over to Charley's for her slumber party/birthday party at 5p.  The girls got to go to Mall of America with Charley's mom - lucky gals!
• Then Clint, Connor and I ran up to Holy Name for our church's fish fry.  We ran into the Kratz family and ate with them while the kids played on the playground outside.  Nice community night!
• Then Clint, Connor and I were off to Dick's Sporting Goods for their 20% off weekend to get Connor new Football and Baseball Cleats, Batting & Receiving Gloves, Bat & Mouth Guard.  Connor is all about the "fly" gear and standing out!  He wants to "make a statement."  This kid cracks us up.

Illusion Museum - How cool?!

Maci, Violet and Charley play soccer together and are such sweet pals!

Saturday:

• Clint and Connor headed off for haircuts at 920a.
• Shortly after them, I was off to pick up Maci from her sleep over and run her to Gymnastics
• I got things done around the house while Maci was at gymnastics and then Clint ran her to soccer practice at 1p.
• While she was at soccer, I laid down for a bit but really just caught up on my shoes and some reading.
• Connor played with his buddies Grady and Anders on and off all through the day.
• We ordered some Northern Tap House for dinner
• Clint and I were then laying in bed with beers and basketball by 8p :)  We even text with some old friends during the game, just cozy and chilling - enjoying the company, beers and basketball!

Proof of life request from my pal Sully - he was not sleeping, just comfy

Sunday:

• Happy St Patty's Day!
• Lazy morning - we all slept in until Maci was almost late for her 10a soccer practice - Ahh we all loved the sleep!
• Maci had a great practice and after she got home we were all commenting on how strong her legs look - she started flexing for us and I swear I am blown away by the tone on this kid :)
• I got stuff done around the house, Clint helped take down the ice skating rink across the street and we watched a ton of basketball.
• We are excited for March Madness to really launch later this week!  I plan to work from home with Clint both Thursday and Friday just so I have it on in the background all day!  😁

She really is the cutest damn dog!

Lots of Love,
