Update on how our goals went. Boys in bed by 8:00 only happened once. They were usually in bed by 8:15 which is still pretty close. We did really good until Kenny's weekend and then I seemed to not care as much. Mommy in bed by 11:00 happened twice. I am going to have to work harder on that one.
Kitchen clean or at least the dishes done before bed was a complete success. It happened every night. I'm super proud of that one.
Two hours of tv we did pretty well on. In fact all of Saturday we didn't have the tv on at all. It was awesome!
So it seems to me that my time oriented goals were a little harder to keep. But I'm not going to give up. I'm going to try to keep going on these goals and start some more for this week.

This weeks goals will be

This Weeks Goals

Sometimes I feel like I am just drifting through life. Like I am just living day to day and not working towards any real goals. I know I do have goals in life but most of them are far away and just don't seem like I am getting any closer. So I decided to set up some small goals. Things that I can see get accomplished every day. The small things in life I want to change. This weeks goals are hard ones for me.

Two hours maximum of TV per day.

Reward at the end of the week: Having my feet rubbed. (if I can convince Kenny to do it)

Snow Day

Playing in the snow.

 We really enjoyed the first big snow storm of the season. Kenny got the kids all dressed up in some winter gear and they headed out to play. Colton dove right in and started eating the snow and Kenny started making a snow man. Tucker did not want anything to do with the snow. It made his hands cold and was too deep and too compact for him to walk through. So he stayed on the porched with me while I took some pictures and then he went in for a nap.

Chillin' on the bench.

Mommy got creative with our snow man gear.
I tried to get Tucker interested in playing outside so I filled up to spray bottles with water and put food coloring in them. One blue and one red. He could've cared less he was so tired. But Colton loved spraying the snow different colors. And he loved spraying the snow  man as well. The red really made him look bloody. Too bad his mouth fell off before the picture.

After their fun time in the snow Kenny and Colton sat on the bench outside and drank hot chocolate while they watched the snow falling and cars go by. And mommy made sure they were warm by heating up some rice bags to keep them cozy.

We had such a great time in the snow and are excited for more snow days. If only we can convince Tucker that it is fun.

Bunch of Sickos

It seems like someone is always sick. It started with Tucker and a week later Colton. And now Tucker again. Will there be no respite? Tucker got sick a lot last winter and it seems like it might be the same. I am not looking forward to the whole winter of coughing and runny noses.

Happy Halloween
