My goals for the fall season

Being off of work , my hobby of making lists has only blossomed further. I can't help myself , you guys. It might be an addiction. Instead of "notes" on my phone, the app should be called "lists "

Anyways, I thought it may be productive to make a list of things I need/want to get done this fall season! 

-sell my car (done) get a new one (working on it)

-book our free trip we received for buying our membership -expiration March 31,2017. (Booked, but need to book flights)

- pick an outting for our first date night away sans kiddos. (Nov 18-got tickets to see Marianas trench. So we are only out for a few hours at bedtime :) )

- nail down a date for my 30th shindig at the house (i think I have picked a date ok October , lol)

-pack up all unused toys and too small clothes to deliver to the churches "free store "

-attend the Samko and Miko toy sale 

-take the kids somewhere fun as a family

-have professional family photos done

-get my hair done differently 

- figure out my maternity leave issues with work (the dates are all messed up because of a miscommunication between work and service Canada , so now there's a 1.5 week discrepancy ), and apply for care and nurturing leave for half of July, all of August and beginning of September to see Garett off to school seamlessly 

-finish my Christmas shopping early, and don't give Garett and gifts early haha

-figure out a better storage solution for Garett's growing book collection

-transition Keira to her crib from her bassinet at 5 months like we did with Garett. 

-continue to pump for as long as I mentally can. It's tough waking up to do it when everyone is asleep, being that I love my sleep as well. So I want to build up the supply for as long as possible. Her feedings are 100% covered, and I have stored about 3 weeks worth of feedings also. I would ideally like to get her to 6 months of breast milk only, and once we can introduce purées in, start giving her formula slowly also. I only made it to four months for G. We will see!

- go one month without eating out. Once we get on a more set schedule at home with Keira, there's no reason I shouldn't be able to get us on a homemade meal schedule also. We try to limit eating out /ordering in to twice a week right now. Which we are usually pretty good to sticking too, but with Tylers work schedule, the kids, the adjustment phase, we sometimes do it more. And I hate how I feel when we eat out too much. Not to mention how expensive it gets. Think of all the other things I could buy instead of another crappy $60 meal that I could have made for $8

Well, I think that's it for the fall !:) what are you hoping to accomplish in this coming season (a very welcomed season. This momma is DONE with 40 degree days)
