June Goals!

It rained for a solid month here, and between that and little sis coming down with the croup last Friday, I am feeling like I'm ready to set goals and achieve them! Maybe it's the sunshine, and my deep desire to get outside and enjoy it, or maybe I'm just looking forward to this new season of life! :) Brandt is becoming more interactive every day, and although the speed with which he is growing up is a little bittersweet, it makes me excited for some family fun ahead!  June Goals:  1. Start journaling again. I have many prayer journals from through the years that I love to look at from time to time. They are such great reminders of answered prayers and unanswered prayers that were so much better for me than what I thought I needed. I still have my quiet time every day, although it's short and not always first thing (Brandt wakes up at 6:15 these days ready for the day, and I'm already up late and up during the night!) and not always quiet for that matter, but I love to write, and I really need to get back to that. I feel like I'm coming out of the newborn haze and transition to three kids, and I'm ready to go! Yay!
2. Do something fun with the kiddos every day this summer. Avaree and I compiled a list of all the free activities that we could do (here and around town), and then the playgroup that I am a part of sent out a two page list of all kinds of things that we can do that are mostly free. I also want to be more of a "yes" mom than a "no" mom, even when it makes a giant mess. I am also trying to be better about letting the girls play with the play dough without intervening with my deep desire to keep the colors separate! ha! We are going to start by going to get library cards this week. Guess who is most excited about that?? (That also brings me to my next goal!)
3. Read. I haven't read a book (for fun) in SO long. I love reading, and I miss it, so I'm going to carve out time to read ever day--even if it's just for five minutes as I am going to sleep. A library card will allow me to read all I want! yay! :) I love the smell of books!
4. Spend individual time with each of our babies. I try to spend special time with each of them every day, and I mostly accomplish this, but I want to do more little things that they will remember. I also want Felicity to get to go on a date with her Daddy! She adores him, and I know she would love getting dressed up to go somewhere with him. 
5. Have a weekly date with my hubby! I know this will not mean that we will actually go out on a date every week (or at all), but I want to set up fun at-home dates for us when the kids go to bed! I found some fun ideas on pinterest. I'm sure B is rolling his eyes as he reads this! hahaha! :) 
I think that's plenty of goals for this month. I guess I just felt like if I wrote them down, I would be more likely to keep up with them. I can't wait to update the blog (and the few family members that actually read this!!) on my progress!
