Megow Goals for 2016

I don’t really do New Year’s Resolutions. To me they just kind of fizzle out, but I do like setting goals for myself and to teach the kids to make and work for goals. So I sat down with the kids and asked what goals they would like to set for themselves. (I typed their responses verbatim). So here’s what each individual Megow is shooting to accomplish this year, plus my goals for the Megows as a family unit.

Seth:

-Start to wear my suspenders and knit ties more frequently

-Buy more suspenders and knit ties

-Eat more raw vegetables

-Start writing my first book

-Accept the fact that I have a patch of back hair

-Speaking of hair, I want to start sculping my chest hair into fun shapes

-Soup

-Write more hand written letters (in pencil of course)

-Let the kids all come up with the idea for and design my next tattoo

-Promote my blog

-Put money (in random denominations of bills) in various pockets of my clothes

I’m so forgetful that it will be a fun surprise when I get dressed or do laundry

-Go on a mountain hike

-Give dad’s hair more cat baths

Megow Family Goals:

-Start a Free Pet Party Service. 

We will have a wide variety of animals and have groups of people over to the house. The kids will take the animals out of the tanks and teach people about them (care, diet, fun facts, etc.). Each pet party recipient will have the chance of look at (and touch if they like) each of the animals.

So far we have a Red Knee Tarantula, a Bearded Dragon, and a Red Earred Slider Turtle. We plan on getting at least 2 more exotic animals (and a dog). Neela says the dog is for little kids and adults that are too scared of the fun animals. 

-See REAL Snow

-Host a giant Karaoke night. The winner will receive the chance to comb Seth’s patch of back hair

-Find the perfect mixture of Kool-Aid flavors.

The current favorite is Tropical Punch/Watermelon

-Use our outside fire pit more

 -Have a “free” yard sale

 -Figure out how my children can go through an entire roll of toilet paper easier than breathing in oxygen

 -Get a new family car

-Be the "Best Family Ever" (Stevie's family goal for 2016)

Be Blessed,

Seth
