New Year, New Resolutions

More Planning.
You'll see here a January breakfast and dinner menu. The breakfast menu is to put an end to the never-ending "What's for breakfast? I don't want that, what else do we have?" dialogue that happens with the older kids every morning. This morning it went like this: "What's on the menu for breakfast?" "Waffles." "Okay." And the dinner menu is so that we can do better / more efficient grocery shopping and not scramble to figure out what's for dinner like usually happens.


More structure, for Becca.
 She is VERY distractable and requires constant reminders to do the simplest of tasks. She now has a list of things she needs to do every day without more than one reminder each, and when she does them all she earns 30 minutes of "game time" with either Joel or me after her homework is done and she is in her PJs. Last night, she wanted to play hide and seek.


More decorating.
I started this picture wall in my office last week, and finished it up yesterday. I also want to hang some more artwork and maybe convince Joel to paint the kitchen cabinets and change the hardware on them.
