- Monday - Labor Day! We all slept in and then Clint and I got to enjoy coffee on the deck. What a gorgeous day! It was low 70s, sunny and just gorgeous. Clint got a lot of yard work done while I got us all prepared for the week with laundry, bag packing etc. I even got a run in, trying to get more movement!
- Tuesday - Happy 1st day of school! I started my routine of getting up a little before 6a and getting a run/walk in on the treadmill before the kids are up. Connor was the first up and off with the elementary bus at 7a. He seemed mixed emotions on Maci not being up and going with him. He enjoyed the alone time but also kept asking, is she going to get up? We took our pictures, said hi to bus driver Mike and then he was off. Next up was Miss Maci getting ready for the big first day of Middle School. She had me help her curl her hair a bit and then we were taking her pics before she was off at 830a. Clint and I were so pumped for a quiet house and day to get work done at home. I left around lunch time for a 1p Dentist cleaning and grabbed some food on the way home. I didn’t have many afternoon meetings so I was able to greet Connor off his bus and then we did the same for Maci later in the afternoon. They both had great days, were tired but excited! Maci and I then headed to her soccer practice at Hopkins High School from 700-830p.

- Wednesday - Another morning of running, getting kids off to school and then this time I went back into the office myself as well. In the evening, Connor had flag football practice with Clint while Maci and I headed to soccer practice yet again. When Maci and I got home, Clint was doing his final fantasy draft with Kyle Duwel and friends.
Connor is enjoying his solo time with parents in the morning

Molly 7th and Breck 8th didn’t have to go on Day 1 as it was only for 6th graders
- Thursday - Another morning of routine for all of us :) Come night time, Connor had baseball practice with Clint and I once again was down in Hopkins with Maci for soccer practice. Once home, Clint had a handful of neighbor guys over for a bourbon tasting and golden tee. Maci and I said hi and then departed. Maci got ready for bed and I had a 9p video chat with my former coworker and friend Row. It was so great to catch up with her and have belly laughs!

Friday :
- We had our annual furnace tune up in the morning.
- I had a sleep regroup after doing an overnight sleep study and they see no signs of apnea for me - wahoo!
- I squeezed in a 430p nail appointment with Maci as she has been wanting a set of acrylic nails really bad. They are cute with almond shape, not very long, French tips but in multi neon colors and with little flowers drawn on them. I got mine updated too but just a nice dark red/purple color for fall.
- Once done, we came home to eat and then head to the Fusion Academy 1 game with Charley to surprise and cheer on all of Maci’s former teammates. It was a wonderful game with a great 4-0 W! The girls were so surprised and happy to see their pals!
- We went to Sunshine Factory with the Kuhn’s and Charley’s fam afterward for some late apps/beers.
Saturday :
- What a busy but fun day!
- We started the day with Maci’s soccer game. She had to be at the high school by 8a. We dropped her and then ran to McDonalds for some breakfast sandwiches, Target for some Starbucks and then to the car wash place to get my car cleaned post the Chicago drive.
- We got back to the high school about 40 mins before the game start at 9a.
- They had a GREAT game! A big 6-0 W against St Croix and it was a gorgeous morning.
- We ran home for Maci to change into her gymnastics gear for her first session of the school year - 11a. I worked on things around the house while Clint ran her to and from.
- I then headed to my massage at 1245p - I did not want to get off the table and just stay for a nap :)
- But alas I had to hustle home as Connor had double header baseball games at 3p and 5p.
- This is the first time they are doing kid pitch and it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be! We had some good pitching and our boys came out on top in both games!
- We hurried home/changed and then were off to the Theis family (Livi’s family) house for a bonfire. They are our neighbors but also Maci’s good pals. They had over about 4 other families that also have middle school girls in Maci’s class as well as siblings Connor’s age.
- It was a lot of fun but around 945p I hit a wall! I was so tired after minimal sleep and not enough water after my massage. We came home, kids and I went to bed and Clint joined the Hartys at their fire for a final bevi.

Sunday :
- A far more relaxing day!
- We had a slow moving morning of Laundry, picking up the house etc.
- Maci had a soccer practice from 1215-145p - Clint ran her to and I picked her up.
- I drove listening to the pathetic Bengals game.
- While I watched the end of my horrid Bengals, Clint and Connor ran up to Hamel park with some buddies and dads to work on hitting - big shift to kid pitching vs a reliable machine :)
- We watched football the rest of the day and got work and school week prep completed as well as grocery orders.
- We are all getting our minds on right for a full week ahead!
We hope you are also enjoying this turn into school year and fall weather!
Lots of Love,
C, K, M & C
