October goals + September accountability
September recap:
1. Frame and hang Elliott's hospital photo and footprints
Nope.
2. Choose photos for living room and order
I really thought we'd get this one knocked out.
3.
4. Catch up on boys' monthly letters
Siiiigh.
5.
Done and woof…too high. We are not switching despite not liking our current provider very much.
6. Only drink soda at restaurants or when hanging out with friends.
This was a solid failure. I think choosing this as a goal during one of the two busiest months of my year was a mistake. Let's talk again in November. Or January. January sounds good.
7. Sort / cull 12 month clothes
8.
This isn't quite done, but that's because Nico is still wearing a few 3T things. I did pull out the stuff he's outgrown or just doesn't wear.
9. Frame and hang living room photos
10.
I took this fabulous print that evilducky bought for baby E to a local frame shop and had them mat it and put it in a frame I bought with a coupon at the craft store. It looks so great! I'm hoping to pin MB down sometime soon and have him use his superior measuring / leveling skills to hang it for me.
11.
12. Write to MIL twice
I only wrote once, though she did visit this month so I don't feel quite as bad as I would've otherwise. Also, busy.
13.
14.
Sorta…I bought him a hoodie, pants, and the fabric needed to convert the hoodie into a costume.
15.
We had SO much fun.
16.
17. Make reservations for November camping trip
I'm afraid to do this until after this Saturday has passed…we're planning a huge event at work and the rain date is the same Saturday as our camping trip. Once the event has happened, I won't feel superstitious anymore and I'll book the campsites right away. Swearsies.
18.
We own and love a Mountain Hardwear two-person tent, so we got this one to use with the kids. I am pretty pumped to have a family-sized tent that won't leak if something touches the side while it's raining.
19. Bake a cheesecake for MB
*sad trombone* (I did buy a nice new springform pan, though. Baby steps!)
20.
21. Sort and store / hang / donate frames behind bedroom door.

Call your current cable company and ask if you can be re-bundled to save any money. I did and got MORE channels AND we're saving like $30 a month!
