101 update

It's time to update on my 101 again.  I like this tradition of updates on the 6th of each month.  Didn't even realize I was doing it that way, haha.

4. change our furnace from oil to electric - changing to 'attempt cloth diapering' (done March 2013)
Changing this to 'do cloth diapering'.  Yeah... I know... changing this to something I'm already doing is a bit... cheap, haha.  But I'd been contemplating cloth for awhile now, and just never thought I would do it, and with us thinking of getting a different house, switching the furnace makes zero sense.  So, I'm changing this to cloth diapering, and ticking it off as I've been doing this for 3 months now.  Stripped the diapers for the first time this week, actually.

6. Celebrate five strange holidays 3/5 (white day, pancake day, etc)
Well, on the 29th of May was... get this... Put your pillow on your fridge day.  Yeah.  I know.  So, I did.  There was a pillow on my fridge all day.  This one actually has to do with the superstition that putting your linens in your 'larder' would bring wealth to your family.  Since we don't have larders and have refrigerators instead, this was changed to putting your pillow on top of the fridge.  Oh, and I'm planning to take part in banana split day, butterfly day, peanut butter cookie day... the list goes on.  This is really fun!

10. make plans to have a family day twice/month for one year (24/24)
Yes.  We have been doing family day twice a month.  Easily.  Every weekend we've been busy with something fun as a family, so we have definitely met this one.

25. have a scrapbooking day at my house with friends (done April 2013)
I've actually done this as we've had girls night at my place.  It hasn't been scrapbooking in the same sense as I had in mind, but I did scrapbook with the laptop, and my friends brought their scrapbooks/notepads as well!

17. have a night at home where we explore other cultures (food, map, activity, etc) (2/3)
I just joined something through focus on the family where we 'explore' and pray for 60 different countries over the summer.  I'm looking forward to the emails I'll be getting, and I have the 'itinerary' and map already, just need to print them up and do this with the family.  WOOT!

40. Send someone flowers
I really want to do this in the next month.  I have some lovely flowers in my garden right now.  I love tulips.

41. Release a book via bookcrossing.com
I've registered myself to the site, now to print off some tags and put them on some books... then to place them wherever I want and see what happens!  :)

46. Go berry picking
I'll have to do this soon...

59. Finish daughter’s 1st year album (traditional)
I've been very     s    l   o   w   l   y     doing this one.  V.e.r.y  s.l.o.w.l.y.

So, 52 down, 49 to go.  Only barely over half done... and I only have a few months left.  Probably won't complete this list either.  Ah well, it's still fun!
