2009 list

So here it is April, everyone has paid taxes by now. If not, you are late buddy!! So what's new?

I am going to the homeschool fair tomorrow. I've had 2 mama's nights out this week. Well one was to check out a new homeschooling option and one was the boyscout round table but I didn't have the kids with me for the first and someone else watched them for the second so I was mostly kid free.

But I was reminded to check my list to see how I have been doing on my goals for this year. Here is the list again in case you forgot: (updated with what I have accomplished- I even figured out how to do strike though!!)

Research insurance coverage for private speech therapy

Learn to cook 2 new recipes that picky hubby will eat I have 1 so far

Put all recipes that picky hubby will eat in a binder so I will know if it is an actually thing he has tried and liked.

Knit a new sweater for Boyo

Knit a baby sweater for Jessica's bun in the oven

Repaint the living room or at least touch up the spots that need a second coat

Hang the DVD cabinet

Organize school stuff

Buy bookshelves for living room

Buy baskets for daily school stuff, one basket per kid, so the daily getting started will be easier

Separate the kids into their own bedrooms

Paint the kids' bedrooms

Put curtains in all the windows of the house

Dry clean curtains for living room window

Get the right kind of hardware for living room curtains and hang them

Blog at least 3 times a week Trying but I =can't think of much to say

Offer the Andrew Lost lapbook templates to the homeschooling community for free

Post knitting pattern for bitty baby socks and bitty baby sweater from sock yarn

Make Girlie a dress to wear to the girl scout Daddy-Daughter Dance

Get Jessica's recipe for Mac and Cheese

Make everyone entire new wordrobes for good linen and wool for Pennsic

Boyo's List
1. Lapbook the entire Andrew Lost series and get it bound
2. Finish Singapore Math 2B and 3A
3. Take a reading level placement test
4. Finish History Curriculum
5. Learn to knit with 2 colors
6. Learn to play chess (to earn the cub scout belt loop)
7. Fight at practice every day while at Pennsic
8. Become a better, more detailed writer

Girlie's List
1. Learn to read at a 1st grade level
2. Take a reading level placement test
3. Learn to speak well enough to not need speech therapy
4. Take a tour of the local elementary school in case she does end up there
5. Learn to count to 100 using English words (thirteen instead of 10-3)

So I am not as far as I was hoping to be by April but I am not too far behind either. I think I will move the kids and paint thier rooms this summer when I can have the windows open (better than doing it in the winter!)

So little by little I hope to chop down my list. How is your list going?
