Weekdays:

Monday - Good 1st day back for all to school and work. At 915p we had a team meeting with Maci's soccer team as they are making a coaching change. It was a bit awkward but we made it through :)
Tuesday - Connor had an ortho apt and got his bottom brackets put on and wires tightened. At first, this was not welcomed by Connor, poor buddy had sore teeth. That night Connor had basketball practice and Maci had Soccer Practice. Always running somewhere :)
Wednesday - Wrapped the day by heading around 4p to get my hair cut and colored. While I was there, Clint ran Connor to his baseball training. Thankfully a family friend was able to run him home b/c Clint had a baseball board meeting. Maci had soccer practice but one of the mom took the girls there and then I was able to pick them up after my hair appointment. On the way home, Maci's friend on the team showed me where Naz Reid from the NBA Timberwolves team lived - it was a fun little detor.
Thursday - Busy evening! On my way home from work I picked up Maci's glasses which thankfully she really likes. I then hustled to get her from her soccer training by 6p. While I was doing this, Connor had his 3 point shooting contest against 8th grade through 3rd graders. He hit 8 in a minute again but unfortunately just missed the top 6 to shoot at a varsity game half time. Then we all got home for a bit, ate and Maci was back off to soccer practice and Connor had basketball practice.

Friday:

Rosie had a grooming in the morning and came home so fluffy!
I then got a lot of work done before the kids came home from school.
Maci was off to a babysitting job in the neighborhood at 5p
At 7p, Clint, Connor and I went up to the high school basketball game vs Edina. We Won!
Maci hung back at home as she also had a virtual soccer team meeting at 715p.

Saturday:

Up and at 'em early!
Connor had a basketball tournament starting with game 1 at 8a in Blaine which is a 30 min drive and they wanted us there by 730a UGH!
Game 1 was a mess b/c the kids were so tired and we lost a game we should not have.
Game 2 was some how even worse and we went from a team that usually finishes in 1, 2, or 3 and instead headed into the game for last place.
We had a break in action so went to eat and have some adult drinks after the nasty first few games.
That seemed to help the boys as they got back to it and won game 3 vs Edina.
We got home around 430p and were all exhausted. I went to take a nap and never climbed out of my bed again the rest of the night.

Sunday:

Nice slow Sunday morning!
Maci had a training at 1230p which Clint ran her to while I got stuff done around the house.
We had a productive day at home and watched a lot of the playoff football.
At 5p the Webbs and Jankos came over our house. Maci was watching the Janko kids (John and Harper) at our place while the 3 couples went to the Timberwolves game. Andrew had his work's suite. The first 3 quarters were really bad basketball. But then in the 4th quarter things started to turn around and in super dramatic and fun fashion, we won by 1 point after the Spurs missed their last second shots and time expired!!
We all left home jazzed and arrived around 930p, just in time for kids bed times and to get ready for a week ahead.

Cool Suite Set Up
