New Years Resolutions

Last year I didn't even bother to make any, but honestly... I always have something that I'm trying to accomplish... the difference is that I'm usually trying to accomplish something rather than better something.  So I will have the "to accomplish" list that I always have, but I want to make some "to better" goals too.

To accomplish
1. Official potty train Sam  (He has already peed in the potty, but I haven't tried to put him in underwear yet... I kept saying, "After the holidays." Now it is... so now is the time I guess.)
2.  Teach Ada how to write the whole alphabet. (She knows about a third...)
3.  Finish at least 4 projects before I start another one


To better
1.  How we manage finances
2.  How I clean the house (I keep it okay, but I'd like to step it up a notch)
3.  How I explain things to Sam. 
4.  How well my family eats.  (we don't eat junk, but I want to get them used to a bigger variety of things.  Especially my picky Sammy... the girls will eat pretty much anything I give them, but Sammy... we need to work on that a bit.)
5.  My cross training.  (I do a lot of the same exercises, but I need to cross train so that I can stop putting my hip out.)
6.  The kids scripture reading.  (We already read scriptures together, but we've missed the last couple of crazy weeks... I just want to get back in the habit.)

I think this is a nice list, but I think that your house looks nice. I can also relate to having a lot of projects going at the same time, I have like 5 going right now.

This is such a fun family.  They're sweet and playful.  It's fun to get to know them and try not to freeze in the cold rain!  It was...
