Bring on 2010! With the start of a new year it's always interesting for me to look back on the previous year and evaluate myself to see if my goals have been checked off or unfortunately fallen through the cracks and left blank. This year I am taking a different approach to things. Usually I write my goals down in a journal but this year I have put them where I can see and read them every day! I wished I would have done this years ago! So far it has really helped me stay on track.
Just recently I heard some tips to follow that will help you achieve your goals.
They are:
1- Evaluate (decide what needs to be done)
2- Have a Plan (write down what you want to accomplish)
3- Act on the Plan (DO IT! If you need help don't be afraid to ask for help)
4- Report on your progress (follow up with someone)
5- Evaluate your progress (Keep Going! Ask our Father in Heaven for help! He's your
biggest fan!)
What is it with kids and boxes? I have said many times, forget the toys and give the kiddos a box and some crayons and they could entertain themselves for hours. In this case it has been for weeks! The girls have been demonstrating their creativity! They found balloons in the closet and went to town. They have each put their own personal touch somewhere on their so called "UP" house. Makell thinks it is the best thing ever! There have been many times that I have peeked in and found her with close to thirty babies and stuffed animals packed inside. It's cute to see their little faces peeking out the windows or door when I knock and ask if anyone is home? Adam likes to sneak around the corner and scare everyone. If you could only hear the screams and laughter:)! Maybe some of the neighbors have;)? I am still trying to figure out who is the biggest kid;)? Fun times! There have been a few nights Makell has been in tears because she couldn't actually sleep in it. I am pretty sure this box will be sticking around for quite some time.
