Goodness but it has been a long time! I decided to take a look at my list recently and discovered a few things that I finished without realizing it before I was half way through! Here they are.
3. take a nature hike and make educational for kiddos
We did this in July sometime. I went around the yard with the kids (scrapbooked it as well) and we found a bird's nest, a broken robins egg shell, spider webs with dew on them, foxtails, various flowers and leaves (those were fun) and played with kittens. We talked and asked questions about each thing. Later, grandpa brought over a caterpillar and the kids got to see a fuzzy one I found on the driveway the next day. :)
6. Celebrate five strange holidays
On Sept 12 we 'celebrated' National Video Game day by playing old games we had, and I made a nostalgic "It's Dangerous to Go Alone" brownie from the NES Zelda game. We also had chocolate on Chocolate day on the 13th by eating more of the brownie... but I'm not sure that counts. i'm sure we've done more, but I can't remember.
15. go to five local fairs (5/5) DONE Aug 2012
We did this! Went to the medieval festival in July, and the local Honey Festival in August! Both were tons of fun! So, completed as of August 2012!
21. Get the kids to feed ducks (done, June 30 2012)
June 30th we went to the park for a baby shower, and I brought along some bread to feed the ducks in the duck pond nearby. The kids loved it and have been asking to go back for some time now!
22. find 5 interesting places/events to visit in local area (not already listed 2/5 dec2011, sep2012)
I'm sure we've done more, but I know of one I recently did with the kids. We went for a walk around a local garden by the library, and my daughter is asking to go back!
34. Save up $10 for each item I complete on this list
I finally got my savings account active again, so now I can deposit the money into the account! I have it, it's just not in a specified savings!
36. Place at least $10,000 into TFSA’s
My goodness! I had no idea how much we already had in the TFSA's! Last December we didn't deposit any, we paid off the van with that money instead, but the interest accumulated really makes me happy, haha. We have enough we could almost do it! But we are planning a trip, and depending on how much that costs....
58. Catch up on scrapbooking (digital)
YAY! I'm done this! I am all caught up and doing the pages necessary each week to keep it that way! Makes me so very happy!
63. Do a ‘week in review’ scrapbook for one year (at least) and print it (July? 2012)
I have a printed 2011 week in review scrapbook, and I am loving it so much I am doing 2012. I'm up to date on that one as well! It is SO nice to look back on these weeks and remember things that happened that I wouldn't remember otherwise!
87. start reading a Bible verse at the table at suppertime (maybe find a ‘daily bread’ or something small we can do as a family)
I started working on this, but because it's a jar on the side counter, we don't see it and don't remember. Sigh. I need a better reminder to read the verses I put in there!
39 down, 62 to go!
