Drinking:
Can I just tell you how in love I am with Dunkin Donuts Pumpkin Spice coffee? It's so delicious without the added sugar and such in lattes and creamers. I just add a splash of skim milk and a little Stevia and go. It's been super nice to sip on during these cool fall mornings!

 

Not drinking: Soft drinks. I have really kind of given them up. I never thought I could go without my Diet Coke, but I've been drinking so much water lately that I don't even miss it.

 

 

Reading: Chris and I have been reading several of Dave Ramsey's books. We had been doing the envelopes very loosely for a few years but this summer, we buckled down and read his books and FINALLY got on the same financial page after 10 years of marriage. I'm excited about where our journey will lead us. It's crazy to think about not having a house payment one day and retiring with money in the bank when we're old and gray. Maybe then I can get my trip to Bora Bora! :)

 

 

Working on: Webb's behavior is something we've really been working on. He is such a good boy but sometimes he is a bit on the sassy side. He also will still have accidents in his pants on a much more frequent basis than I think is necessary for an almost four-year old. I totally understand that accidents happen but we wanted to really encourage him to GO! He is so interested in playing and being social that he will just wet his pants and not think twice. This week, the teacher in me, created a little behavior chart and posted it on his toy closet door. Each day he has two tasks: use the potty and be a sweet boy. Here's how his week is going so far!

 

 

He chose his stickers and has loved adding them at night after we finish supper. I KNEW he could do better- he just needed a visual reminder. On Friday, if he earns most of his stickers, we are going to get him a SMALL treat. He wants to go to the Tractor Supply Store and pick something out so that's what we will do. Today he went to the chart and said "Today is Wednesday!" So double whammy for behavior and calendar skills!

 

 



Studying: We are getting ready to host a Life Group at our house this fall. Our church is huge so the best way to meet people is to join a Life Group. Last year, we attended two that were lead by our pastor. This semester, Chris and I are going to lead it (or attempt to lead it) and we're pretty excited about it. I met some of the most amazing people in the last group, many of whom are joining our group this go-round. We also have a few neighbors who go to our church who are coming!

 

 

Loving: This precious face. My sweet Webb who will be turning four in two months. The love of my life, the sweetest, most rambunctious, loving, talkative, imaginative, and full-of-life child I've ever seen. And did I mention handsome? Oh, so handsome.

 

 



 

 



I hope you are all having a good week and enjoying this cool fall weather!
