No.235: Intentions for the Beginning of April

We know spring is finally here when the little birds start improving the nest on our porch fan.  
Watching them never gets old!

INTENTIONS FOR THE BEGINNING OF APRIL

  • complete T25 Alpha Week 5 and Beta Week 1
  • puppy proof the first floor 
  • figure out a new routine with the dog
  • schedule an appointment with the vet
  • order standardized testing
  • figure out plans for the last few weeks of school
  • look for a white button-down shirt for J’s First Communion in May
  • buy a butterfly habitat kit
  • begin a new sourdough starter
  • bake a new recipe that is refined sugar free
  • give the little ones haircuts

          • complete T25 Alpha Weeks 3 & 4
          • finish Easter baskets
          • get the big boys to the barber and buzz the little ones at home
          • give my split ends a trim (I still need to find a Youtube video, but it can’t be that hard, can it?)
          • finish buying the last few things before our new puppy arrives
          • puppy proof the first floor (started, but need to do another sweep)
          • find a vet
          • go through the millions of recipe printouts and organize (part of 100LT #10)
          • organize the junk drawers
          • make a list of spring clothing needs for the kids
          • clean out and vacuum the car (oh man, was that overdue!)
          • paint S’s room (100LT #69)
          • check out the Restore for a dresser and/or desk (we found a great desk for a steal!  now to paint it white…)
          • get estimates for resealing the driveway (we got a reasonable estimate and they were able to reseal it the very next day!)
