50 Things I Want To Do

While sitting at the computer reading my most recent favorite blog, A Million little Things, I was inspired by her 104 in 104 post about things that she wants to do in her 104 week time period. I highly reccomend her blog. She is pretty hilarious. But I'm a tinsy less optimistic so I'm going to do 50 things (nice round number) and I want to get them done before baby number two arrives. So June 11th, not very long to do 50 things. Hopefully this will motivate me to do a bit more simply by writing down goals.

#1: Finish James Baby Blanket: I have changed it to a blanket he can appreciate now since I'm a slacker and waited 'til now to make him a blanket. Anyways, it's an I-spy. It's not going to be cute I can already tell but I think it will be nice and stimulating. 12-21-11

#2: Make a pumpking pie from scratch: I feel like I should at least learn how 10-15-11

#3: Sew some family Christmas Stockings with our names on it: I am going to make six though so that the more kids I have they can have coordinating stocking with the rest of the family's.

#4: Get James Potty Trained: I really would like to do this but it is not looking too promising at the current moment. He was doing so good and was even telling me when he needed to poop (peeing was another story) and I would give him a goodie after for being so good but then he stopped and of the sudden doesn't like the potty, oh well. I don't want to push him if he doesn't want to yet.

#5: Move James to a big boy bed: When are you even supposed to do this? 7-7-12

#6: Pick out the Water Fixtures? (sinks, tubs, showers, etc.) for the lodge. So exciting! We are really coming along with the project. We have broken ground and poured cement. We've chosen our outside textures of hardyboard, our roofing material and our rocking. The structure should be enclosed by the new year! 3-14-12

#7:Surprise Justin with a totally awesome gift that he will love for Christmas or Birthday or Valentines. I just want to do it at least once. That sounds weird that I haven't done this yet but really it's Justins fault. Either he just wants money or a giftcard, picks it out ahead of time or guess what I'm going to get him. 2-14-12

#8: Make baby #2 a baby blanket: Figure I should get a head start this time

#9: Start James 2nd scrapbook 2-20-12

#10: Organize the spare closet: That will be where baby #2's stuff goes, so this is a need 5-12-12

#11: Cut our own Christmas tree: I don't even like the look of real trees but I think it would be fun to do this once. The smell is nice too.
