Our Week in Review 🍂⚽🎃
Monday 🎳
Maci had a “date” with a boy she’s been talking to, Zach! They met up at Tuttle’s Bowling at 6 p.m. Clint dropped her off, and then he and I met at a bar for a drink while we waited for their hour of bowling. 😂
Maci had a great time and won 3 of the 4 rounds they managed to squeeze in! Not a bad first date! 😉
Waiting on our gal
Tuesday 🏀🎃
BUSY day! I worked from home since my day started super early with the UHG earnings call. I was pretty much back-to-back all day before running to Connor’s teacher conference.
He’s a fun kid who works hard and likes to make people laugh. Yep, that sounds about right! 😂
I hustled home to grab Maci, and we headed to the club for cocktails and pumpkin carving night. 🎃 Maci carved a fun pumpkin while I caught up with some of our friends who also belong to the club.
Meanwhile, Connor and Clint were at their FIRST night of basketball practice. Their team scrimmaged the other team and kicked their rears! 🏀 We’re looking forward to a fun season ahead!
Maci and I hurried home so our neighbor Cael could drive her to soccer practice. I stayed home to join her virtual teacher conference, where I learned she’s a ray of sunshine — super inclusive, kind, and hardworking. Yep, that sounds about right, too! ❤️
After basketball, Clint picked Maci up from soccer at 9:30 p.m. Just another quiet, relaxing Tuesday around here. 🤪
Wednesday 🍂
First day of fall break for the kids!
Clint and Maci went to a hip appointment that morning since she’s been having some minor pain. They discovered that her right hip still has some dysplasia from infancy, even though we were told she had “graduated” from treatment. The good news is she can continue playing soccer, but she’ll also be doing six weeks of PT. Fingers crossed that helps!
That evening, Maci had soccer practice, but the rest of us enjoyed a pretty chill night. We’ll take it!
Thursday ⚽
Connor had his orthodontist appointment in the morning. We’re still not sure when he’ll get this first round of braces off!
I had my nonprofit board meeting for Equality, and Maci had her first PT session for her hip in the afternoon.
That evening, Clint helped with field cleanup for baseball while I ran Maci and Ayla to soccer practice. Ayla’s family brought the girls home since I was already fast asleep by then. 😂 Apparently, I’d had enough excitement for one day!
Friday 🎃❤️
DAY OFF! Clint and I took Friday off to spend some time with the kids during fall break.
We weren’t exactly the most fun parents, though, since we used our long weekend without sports to tackle some much-needed things around the house. 🤣
I got laundry going and caught up with my former business partner, Erin. She’s loving her new job, and it was so great to hear how she’s doing!
Then I completely reorganized my closet and ended up with TWO trash bags of clothes to donate to Goodwill. 👏 A very satisfying accomplishment!
We headed to Medina Country Club for dinner at 5:30, hurried home to change for the cooler evening, and then headed out to the MN Zoo for the Zootacular Jack-O’-Lantern fun! 🎃🦁
We all love this event, and this year was no different. Such a fun fall tradition!
After we got home, I settled in with the podcast I’m currently hooked on, Love Trapped. 🎧
Saturday 🐶🎂🏈
Happy 17th Birthday, Mr. Boomer! ❤️🐾 What a milestone for our sweet old guy!
We started the morning with the kids getting their flu shots, followed by a family breakfast at Perkins. We then watched the OSU game, which was STUPID stressful! 😩🏈
Maci had her friend Isla over for most of the afternoon while I headed out to get my nails done at 3 p.m. 💅
I got home, ordered Kobe for dinner, and watched football with Clint. I also managed to finish organizing my closet (shoes and bags!) and deep-clean the kids’ bathroom with Maci.
Sunday 🍁☀️
A GORGEOUS fall Sunday, 64 degrees and sunny!
Clint and I started the day with a nice, long walk with Rosie. 🐶 We ordered groceries and then finished our will/estate/trust questionnaire. Nothing says Sunday fun like estate planning! 😂
Clint got started on yard work while I put away the groceries and finished laundry.
Connor is currently jumping on the trampoline with his friend Marek, and Maci is at a pumpkin patch with Isla and her family. 🎃
I have some work prep to do later today, but for now, I’m enjoying a low-key Sunday with pumpkin candles burning and buffalo chicken dip cooking on the smoker. Honestly, not a bad way to wrap up the weekend!
We hope you’re all enjoying this beautiful fall season! 🍂❤️
Lots of love,
C, K, M & C
