Goals For November Update and Happy Birthday Daddy!!!

UPDATE!!!

Baby S was born so I missed devotions for a few days 
and I definitely didn't lose four pounds.
 But other than that, I did great!

And, Happy Birthday Daddy! 

You are the best dad ever!

I am a list maker.

I accomplish more when I set goals.

So, I am going to list my November goals here.

• Put up Christmas tree
• Buy all/most gifts
• NEVER skip morning devotion time
• Take Christmas card pics
• Clean all 33 windows inside and out (30 done!)
• Clean out corner cabinets in dining room
• Lose four pounds
• Bless someone with a surprise gift
• Have carpet cleaned
• Clean out toy baskets/kids table supplies
• Organize wrapping paper station
• Address Christmas Cards

I don't want to be too hard on myself if I don't get it all done.

The new grand is due the end of the month.

I will come back and update as I accomplish a task. 

ALMOST met my goals!

Can't wait to see which sister Baby S looks like!
