My little helper

Well...we have done pretty well with our week one goals. As a family we decided that we would not purchase any food from anyplace but a grocery store for seven days. Today is day six, and we are doing well. The only "cheat" was yesterday, but we were in Phoenix for the day so it was pretty near impossible to eat at home. We did pick Sweet Tomatoes to eat at though...so I am putting it in the win column. :)

Jim also had a goal of drinking at least one tall glass of water per day. The boy drinks no water to speak of...and he really needs this goal. I think that he has also done well. Next week I told him to make it two glasses. Hmmm...we'll see.

Today we have done some more of the spring cleaning stuff. I am so proud of Nate. He has really jumped on the band wagon of helping me lately. He dusted for me today and then Jim taught him how to vacuum. He did a great job vacuuming our family room and his bedroom. Jim taught him to move the smaller things to vacuum under rather than just going around..soooo woohoo!

He is also very interested lately in helping me cook. This morning he made scrambled eggs and English muffins for breakfast (with my supervision) and he made himself mac n cheese for lunch. Awesome kid! I am so proud :)
