Let’s check in on October's goals and my progress.

• Scary movie/television/reading month - Success! We had a great month of spooky-ish movies and books. Unfortunately I have many more spooky books on my list.

• Pumpkin patch visit with friends - Success! We went to Skinny Bones (first time for us!) and it was a lovely albeit very cold day.

• Pull off Arthur and Quentin’s birthday party - Success! I think everyone who came had fun. It was a chaotic day, but oh so much fun!

• New Halloween activity - We did trick-or-treating at The Durham and Omaha Children’s Museum.

November’s Goals:

• Figure out Christmas travel plans - I have a basic plan in place. Need to finalize plans and dates.

• Read 10 ebooks - Trying to focus on all those ebooks on my Kindle app…

• Buy advent calendars for the boys - I bought myself a jam advent calendar. Still deciding on the boys’s calendars.

• Take care of bills - We got the Academy bill and dentist bill to finish paying before December starts.

• Look into starting atheist family group chapter - An internet friend mentioned an atheist family group. We don’t have a chapter here in Omaha, but I can potentially get one started.

• Meal plan through Christmas holiday - Meal planning has become so annoying to me. I want to knock this out for the rest of the year (well until I leave for Indiana).

• Friendsgiving? - I think we are doing Friendsgiving again this year. Need to figure out the menu.
