End of Soccer for C-man + School Pictures are Here!

Weekdays : 

• Monday : Work from home day for both of us.  Maci had soccer practice at night
• Tuesday : I headed downtown for the day as we had a leadership team meeting that started after lunch.  Then we had a team dinner at Brit's Pub so Clint managed Connor's final soccer practice and dinner at Panera with the kiddos solo.
• Wednesday : Clint headed to Cedar Rapids, Iowa for a work road trip.  I had to head downtown again for this time an all day leadership team meeting.  I then busted out of work to pick up the kids and get Maci to her final soccer practice before a few weeks break until she starts winter conditioning with her team.
• Thursday : I worked from home and then picked up the kids.  Clint got home around the same time we did from school pick up.  We did some dinner and then an early bedtime as we were both exhausted from the last few days.

Wrapping up fall soccer

Friday : 

• We were both back to working from home together with pretty quiet days for both of us!
• We took off a little before 5p to get the kids from school and head to gymnastics
• After gymnastics, we headed to Applebee's for dinner and followed it with some Cherry Berry for desert.
• I ordered some cute sweaters from an online shop Pink Lilly 
• Once we put the kids to bed, Clint and I started to binge season 3 of our show You on Netflix

Saturday : 

• I had a massage at 9a and it was amazing
• I got home in time to get Connor ready for soccer and to relieve Clint so he could get a haircut
• Once Clint got home, we were off to Connor's 1130a soccer game 
• Connor crushed it per usual and had probably about 7 goals and his team went undefeated!
• We grabbed Culvers on the way home and Clint headed right outside to get some yard work done
• I on the other hand saw the couch and laid down with the UC game which quickly turned into a nap
• The kids school pictures arrived in my email and they are fab!
• We later got ready to go out to eat with the Harty's at Bar La Grassa to spend a nice gift card I had gotten from my pals at Pioneer consulting.
• The food was so yummy and the cocktails were just as good!
• After we got home, we put the kids to bed and then headed back over to the Harty's for a fire but only the Jonas' crew could join us this week 

The cutest team of boys!

Connor's new hardware, he thinks he is up to 10 medals HA

Yummy food and even better company

Sunday : 

• We sat around watching the Dolphins early morning game (London hosted) and drinking coffee
• We then went to 1030a mass with Connor heading to Sunday school 
• Grabbed some bagels on the way home and got to the house a few minutes after the Bengals kicked off
• The Bengals played great and crushed the Lions!
• I then worked on all sorts of random house to dos while Clint continued with yard needs before the outdoor season fully wraps up 
• Now we are enjoying some wings, football and preparing for a short week thanks to Minnesota fall break across the schools.

We hope you are all having a wonderful fall season, colors are gorgeous here!

Lots of Love,

Maci's Big Coon Rapids Soccer Tournament!

Weekdays : 

• Monday : We all worked from home, I was able to pick up my prescription sunglasses in the afternoon and grab the kids before Maci had soccer practice at night
• Tuesday : Kids had picture day and Connor enjoyed soccer practice in the evening.  Clint handled practice with Connor while I got home from the office in time to hang with Maci.
• Wednesday : I worked from the office again and Maci had a soccer game at night.  The 1st half was great but they got killed in the 2nd half, it was as if they fell asleep at halftime.
• Thursday : I had to go into the office again to meet a coworker for lunch.  I got home at a normal time and Maci and I ran to get snacks for her Saturday game from Target before bedtime.  Then the Harty's came over for hot tub football watching fun.

Picture Day Cuties 

Friday : 

• Busy day for our kiddos!
• The kids had the Grizzly Dash for school - a fundraiser for the PTA.  I ran up to school solo for both of their run times to cheer them on b/c Clint was off doing a habitat for humanity with some coworkers for the day.
• Clint and I then both grabbed them from school and headed to gymnastics, my first time getting to go this season!
• After gymnastics, we had a quick dinner at BW3 before heading out to Coon Rapids for Maci's first tournament game at 830p!!
• We decided our girls need to play under the lights and past their bedtimes all the time!  They won 9-1 and it was awesome!!!!  They were passing, talking and just looked like they had played together for years!
• We headed home and all crashed once back home around 1030p

Maci's Class Picture & Connor Post Race

Saturday :

• Connor and Clint were off to Connor's soccer game at 1015a - I hate missing it and Connor had 6 goals!
• I had to get Maci out to Coon Rapids for her 30 min warm up pre-game which her game wasn't until 1145a but just couldn't make it to both.
• Clint and Connor arrived right about at kickoff and they sure got to have another fun game - this was a 7-2 win with the same amount of hustle, teamwork etc!
• We headed home and dropped Maci at her friend Livi in the neighborhoods house for a birthday party.  Maci was only running 30 mins late and they kindly waited to play games until she got there.
• I headed home and Clint was doing the grass, Connor was playing on his iPad and I napped for a bit.
• At 330p, I walked to Livi's to pick up Maci and met one of our neighbor's new puppy's - Raleigh a super cute black lab
• I went back to being lazy on the couch with the crew and we watched a whole lot of good football including Texas A&M beating Alabama!!  
• No fire tonight as a thunderstorm rolled through and made it super windy

This gal - she drives us crazy and we love her anyway!

A pretty tree on our neighborhood walk home from the birthday party 

Sunday : 

• We had to miss mass/Sunday school because of Maci's 1030a game but I think we will be forgiven since it was a championship game.
• Today was much chillier but you wouldn't know it by our girls play - this time they held the shut out and won 6-0.  Once again more great team work etc.
• After winning it all about half the team was able to go to Texas Roadhouse as a team for lunch!
• After lunch we rushed home so I could watch the 2nd half of the Bengals game - SO CLOSE!
• Now we have been finishing laundry, preparing for the week, watching football etc.

Dream Team - Fusion Academy!

The girls at lunch afterward 

We hope you had a wonderful weekend with family and are enjoying the turn to the Fall season as much as we are!

Lots of Love,

Meghan's Nashville Bachelorette Party!!

National Son Day!

Weekdays : 

• Monday - Eye Dr Apt in the afternoon to blow our FSA money before my Rally benefits ended on September 30.  Clint and I each got some prescription sunglasses which hopefully come in soon!  Maci then had soccer practice in the evening.
• Tuesday - Went into the Rally office for the day and stayed a little late to enroll in our new benefits etc.  Clint and Maci ran Connor to his soccer practice and we met back up at home afterward.
• Wednesday - We hit all I9s complete for the Rally integration so I ended up working from home vs driving downtown!  Maci had soccer practice again and continues loving it!
• Thursday - Clint went into work and then headed to the Twins game with his co-workers in the evening.  I grabbed the kids, had dinner, then started laundry and the Bengals night game - what a great game and amazing W!

Friday : 

• Got up and said bye to the kids
• Paid bills, packed for Nashville and had some breakfast before Clint ran me to the airport for Meghan's Bach party in Nashville
• Thankfully I had a really smooth easy flight and then got to the airbnb just in time for check in
• It was warm but we started having cocktails up on the terrace right away and playing games with my sisters once they all got there
• We had dinner at 815p which was a bad idea b/c we had done a fair amount of early evening drinking, laughing and then sat in a dimly lit restaurant which caused all to crash
• We headed to Broadway afterward but by then I was done so Tiffany, mom, Aunt Sue and I hopped in an Uber back home around 11p
• Back at Home - Clint took the kids to gymnastics followed by a fun Applebees dinner!

• We called it around 4p to head home for some naps and to get ready for more dancing fun
• I got to see UC beat Notre Dame before squeezing in a quick nap 
• We then got all gussied up for the big night out with our old ugly bridesmaid dresses
• We ate at a dance bar place with football on so I was a ok!
• Afterward we headed out dancing - my mom, Aunt Sue and Glaucia left at one point but the rest of us stayed out until bar close at 2a
• We had so much fun dancing, found a Bengals friend and lots of laughs oh and ended the night with the splits!  OUCH Ha
• Back at home - Clint was rockstar dad!!  Connor had soccer game in the rain (scored 3 goals!) then they played indoor putt putt before Connor went with his friend Chuck to Dave & Busters while Maci and dad enjoyed Benihana.

The Crazy Get Up

Sunday : 

• We all woke up exhausted!!
• I had to call for an Uber around 830a to head to the airport for my 1030a flight
• I was a little anxious for this flight as we were having thunderstorms but fortunately we got out and over those quickly and then it was quite smooth
• I even flew home with Tom Browning's cousin next to me (long term Reds pitcher)
• While I was flying, Clint and Maci went to mass and Connor did Sunday school for the first time thanks to the pandemic 
• Family picked me up and we ran home for some Chipotle lunch
• I spent the afternoon thinking about how tired I was and doing laundry, errands etc.
• Clint got the yard done and finished the new trim in the basement, we had extra boards from upstairs
• I crashed in bed at 830p and thankfully Clint put away the late grocery delivery for us!

That was a fun weekend that reminded me I don't rock on as little sleep as I did at one time HA 😉Congrats to Meghan for a wonderful bridal weekend!  Now on to a busy week with work and the family!

Lots of Love,
