Welcome September!

It's so hard to believe that it's already September 1st! Time has been *flying* by for us and we have been keeping very busy. It's hard for me to sit down long enough to type anything of substance so I have been putting off updating this site. I read an article today about this lady who writes down three things she wants to accomplish at the beginning of the day so she feels a sense of accomplishment each day. I am going to try to adopt this tactic as I thrive on checking things off a list! I can't believe I never thought of something so simple.

So, my three things today were:

1. Go to Michael's
2. BBQ at Gram's
3. Update Blog

One could argue that I really didn't do anything today - and I would tend to agree. The beauty of my "3 thing list" is that I can still feel like I was productive :)

Noah and I went to Michael's and made a side trip to Walmart to spend a gift card that Noah got for his birthday. It's always an adventure taking Noah out and we're guaranteed a few tales from each outing. He didn't disappoint! You sort of had to be there but there were these kids outside of Walmart asking for donations for their church. I saw them ahead of time and took a dollar out of my purse so Noah could give it to them. He's usually a very generous spirit so I didn't think much of it and handed him the dollar to give to the kids. Well, we got up to them and I told Noah to give them the dollar for their church and he flat out refused! I was so embarrassed! Score for me though...the kids had M&Ms to give in return so they were able to bribe the dollar out of him ;) Thank God he doesn't look for anything in return when he tithes!

This afternoon we went to Gram's house for a BBQ with Grams and Aunt Jen. Noah adores Aunt Jen so this was quite an exciting afternoon for him. Aunt Jen thought it was cute to teach him the "beans" song since we were eating baked beans. You know, "beans, beans they're good for your heart...". Hopefully, he won't bust out with that song in preschool this week...

Now that I am updating this blog, I can check off my last task! What a productive day ;) Perhaps I should make my "3 things" chores around the house tomorrow!

P.S.
Tomorrow, Noelle will be six weeks old! Crazy!
