State Fair & More Birthday Parties!!

Weekdays:

  • Monday - Maci wrapped up her slumber party with Violet and Grace picked her up late morning.  I had more juggling of both jobs.  We then had a quiet event free evening b/c football got delayed a week.
  • Tuesday - Maci had day 1 of Soccer Olympics where she had a lot of fun with her buddy Charley and other soccer pals. At night, I had a happy hour with a colleague, Jillian but then headed to Hopkins high school to pick up Maci from her first night of TFE practice.
  • Wednesday - Clint went golfing with our neighbor Ben in the morning.  I had my last offsite leadership meeting with Tech.  Maci had day 2 of soccer Olympics.  Maci had another night of practice and I hung in the area checking out many of our old stomping grounds since she is practicing near our old house.  While I was dealing with her at Soccer, Clint went over to the Jonas’ house for a guys night.
  • Thursday - Maci had a super busy day!  She had her final summer gymnastics in the morning.  Then she had the final day of Soccer Olympics.  After that, I hustled home so we could go to her Locker Move In and School Pictures.  We had a few stressful moments with trying to open the locker but once we asked Clint and Connor to leave, Maci and I got it all figured out and casually walked her schedule.  Connor and Clint were off to Connor’s first fall kid pitch baseball practice.  Once Maci and I wrapped, we were off to her practice where I dropped her and then met up with the parents for a social get together during the practice.  They were taking forever to get our bills so one of the Tonka parents kindly brought Maci to the restaurant which was good “out of comfort zone” moment for Maci.  Woah what a long day!
Pretty Girl - Ready for her Pictures
Friday :
  • Very productive day for Clint and I at home
  • I napped late in the day as I was exhausted from the week!
  • That night, Clint went to the Twins game with Adam Webb and a few other buddies.  They had rock star seats and went to the local bars afterward.  They won big 2x on pull tabs and each guy came home with $300 - wahoo!
  • While he was out partying it up, I was watching girlie tv, going to bed early and auto drafting in our FFF Draft.
Saturday :
  • Annual MN Fair Day!  It was a hot one but we had a blast.  We ate so much, enjoyed many games, kids rode crazy rides and did the haunted house (Connor was NOT a fan).  I sure do love this MN tradition!  I did not love going on a Saturday but due to Maci’s Chicago Soccer Tourney, we couldn’t go on our usual day.
  • We got home around 630p - we all took showers to get all the sweat and dirt off.  I then laid on the couch to watch some football with Clint and was out by 7p. HA
All the Fun of the Fair





Sunday:
  • Maci was supposed to have a morning soccer scrimmage but it got cancelled due to the other team not having enough players.
  • Maci then was off to Quinn Sampson’s house around 1130a for her 11th birthday party at Valley Fair followed by a slumber party!!!
  • I met up with my gal pals Nicole and Kristen for some day time drinks by the lake - dang it was muggy out!
  • I then hustled home to have pulled pork at our house with Trip and Lori Brubacher.  We hadn’t seen these dear friends in forever!  It was so great to catch up even if they didn’t get a chance to say Hi to Maci due to her party.
Party Time!









Now heading into the unofficial final week of “summer” with lots of lasts and our final week with nanny Grace and potentially our last year with a nanny!

We hope you are having a wonderful wrap to the sweet summer time!!!
Lots of Love,
C, K, M & C
