Birthday, Grandma Visit, First Communion & Mothers Day!!

Weekdays:
  • Monday - Clint took the Honda in for regular maintenance in the morning - she keeps on humming! I had a busy day but hauled out in time to meet Maci at her soccer training before it ended at 6p. She and I quickly ran over to Subway for a sandwich before she had another practice that began at 7p.  I worked from the car while she had her practice and then we all enjoyed cupcakes afterward for Violet's birthday
  • Tuesday - Happy Birthday to me :) It was a nice day out, I worked from home and I got to enjoy Soccer!  Maci and I had a game to go to at 6p in downtown.  They were the stronger team but pulled the draw with a 1-1 tie. While we were at this game, Clint and Connor were at Connor's baseball practice.  Once every one was home, I showered, turned on my junk TV and enjoyed myself for the rest of my day!
  • Wednesday - We had a fun day at the office with a Special Olympics Polar Plunge at the office.  I then left work for a Happy Hour with my former co-worker Kari who just left to Medtronic.

  • Thursday - I had a super busy day at the office.  I hustled out of there to meet Maci at her soccer game against Edina.  They played so great 5-0 win!!  Maci had a goal, several sweet shots and a sick save when she played keeper for a bit.  While we were at the game, Connor had baseball practice with Clint.  We came home after grabbing a late dinner and hopped in the car with Clint and Connor to drive to the airport to pick up my mom.  The kids and I paced the baggage claim area while Clint waited in the pick up area for us.  The kids were so excited to see Grandma!  They chatted her ear off and then we all went to bed :)

  • Straight from mass, we went to 6 Smith for their Mother's Day brunch buffet.  The kids were so excited to give me two pairs of earrings and super sweet cards!
  • Clint and Connor had to leave a little early for his Flag Football practice.
  • From there, Maci, mom and I ran home, changed and were off to the fields in time for the game.
  • Connor scored 2 Touchdowns - rushing and a catch and run!  After each TD he threw up his hands as a heart at me and ran over to give a big hug!  He said one was for me and one was for Grandma - it was a great win!
  • Then we came home for a bit, did some errands around the house and the boys were off again to baseball.
  • Shortly after they left, we followed.  It was a gorgeous day at the field and the boys were hitting sooooo well!  Connor got on base all 3 times he hit and they won this one too!!  They even wanted to hang around and play some more after the game was over! HA
  • The girls headed home - I did household to dos while Mom and Maci played Guess Who.  Clint and Connor road to KFC to pick up our family dinner.
