{brave} September Goals

September is here.  This is an exciting month for us because by the end, our baby boy will have arrived!  Honestly, I’ve reached the point in this pregnancy where most of my thoughts consist of either meeting him or preparing for him.  I’m hoping that by making a few goals for the month, they can be a good distraction.  The last few weeks are the longest! 

1. Take out all of the kids’ fall clothes and make a to-buy list to fill in the gaps.  I dread this chore, but I’d rather do it now than sleep deprived with a new baby.    
2. Complete the cross-stitch project I started in August.  I’m about halfway finished, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to complete in the next few weeks.
3. Bake a pie.  I’ve never made a pie with homemade crust and I’d love to try.  Maybe apple to welcome in fall?
4. Make read aloud plans for “school” during our baby break.  We’re going to take at least two weeks off from official schooling, but I do want to keep reading aloud during the break.  We’ll be reading Owls in the Family and I want to find a few fun activities that the boys can largely complete on their own.
5. Write down all of the kids’ birth stories.
6. Read two books.
7. Buy tickets for a surprise trip to Lego Kidsfest for the boys. I have three Lego-obsessed boys here and I know they will flip with a surprise trip with their Daddy in October!
8. Have a baby!

What are your goals for the month of September?  I’d love to read them!
