New Goals

I've come up with three new goals for March, and I have a feeling the month is going to fly by!  It's hard to believe that it's already the 9th...nearly a third of the way through!

1. Prepare for baby's arrival.  I have several things that I need to accomplish before the baby comes, and I hope to get a few done each week.  This past week I ordered a box of size 1 diapers and put a batch of Oatmeal Buttermilk Muffins in the freezer.  I hope to find and wash all of the newborn boy clothes next week. 

2. Clean/organize the childrens' closets and get spring/summer clothes ready.  I really don't want to have to do this after the baby arrives, so I'm going to shoot to have it completely done by the end of the month.  I went through the Joshua, Noah, and Joseph's closet this week.  Their spring/summer clothes are either sorted into piles and waiting to be worn, or are in the laundry and will be sorted soon. I also organized and put the outgrown clothing into the proper storage bins.  Next week I hope to tackle the girls' closet.  

3.  Complete the girls' dresses.  This isn't exactly a new goal since I've had it a few times in the past, but Easter is at the end of this month, so I'm running out of time!  I have all three of the dresses completely smocked and I hope to finish cutting out the rest of Hannah's dress today.  After that I will need to put them together and do last minute things like hems, buttons, etc.  

I decided to keep my oldest three childrens' goal the same for one more month.  I feel like we made some good headway last month, and I think after a few more weeks of being consistent we'll have the habit formed for good.  We finally met our goal last week...they practiced piano five days and I helped them three days.  Of course I help them anytime they need it, but the I actually sat down with them for 15 or 20 minutes on those three days.
