      • July – It’s to hot to make a blanket, I think I will wait until fall
  • Do one crafty project with the kids each month. I will also be able to show off each craft we make, this will include a ceramics place I have been dying to take them too.
    • Jan – Crazy month will be working on project with the kids next month.
    • Feb – Kids have been drawing a lot but I still want to see about doing actual projects.
    • Mar –  Just haven’t had a chance to get to the store to buy supplies, might be doing it this month since summer is coming and they will need activities to do to keep them busy.
    • April – Kids just aren’t really that interested. My daughter is by maybe when school is out this will be easier to do.
    • May – School is almost done so I am hoping we can get creative this summer.

    • I actually have 7 books left to read and 5 of them are for my 2016hw so if I don’t request more I’ll have no more book….that’s scary!!!

    • It really is! I have my eye on one and I need to finish one before I request it. Can’t go under 80% now that I know how awesome it feels 🙂
