October check-in

While I was looking at my calendar filled with post-its, and school papers, I realized that I haven’t gotten too much accomplished on my October to-do list…

  • Clean out the boys room, closet, dresser (again): Still not done
  • Clean out Agnes’ closet and toy bins (much needed): Well the toy bins have been cleaned out and re-organized. The closet still needs a lot of work.
  • Decorate indoors and outdoors. The new den could use some Halloween decor, and the front porch needs a little work to welcome Autumn.
    Well, this one might get scrapped…
  • Plan Agnes’ 5th birthday party, and get to shopping: REALLY NEEDS DONE!!!
  • Figure out what to get James for his birthday and our anniversary too…: Yep, no idea
  • I’m helping out with pre-school duties again, I can’t wait!: I’m scheduled to help two times again next week…
  • I actually finished one of the crocheted Christmas gifts, and I have just one left to make. I went a different route, but I liked the finished product even more.
  • The kids have a lot of time off in October, maybe a little road trip is in order.: Hmmm, looks like the last week (when they have days off) is already a little busy
  • Finalize Halloween costumes. Agnes has hers, Dylan has an idea, Thade’s costume had to be scrapped ($$$$$), so he is thinking on it.

The Halloween costumes are done, and ready to go trick-or-treating! I also picked up the boys some new shoes. They’ve both changed sizes again.

  • A few indoor plants need to be re-potted, I picked up a great pot at the flea market yesterday for the task.

Oh yeah, this one is done!

  • Clean out and reorganize the kitchen shelves, get rid of a few cluttered items: Still needs to be accomplished…
  • I also had an impromptu item added. I cleaned out my closet, and took all of the unused clothes to be donated. I also rearranged my out of season purses too. My closet is a little bit cleaner now.

Today it is cold and rainy, and it looks like we are going to be in for the weekend. Maybe I can get some of these tasks done. I had better get to it, the month is getting away from me.
