101 Update

6. Celebrate five strange holidays 7/5
Done!  this last month we celebrated peanut butter cookie day June 12, banana split day June 7, butterfly day June 19th, and fairy day June 24th!

17. have a night at home where we explore other cultures (food, map, activity, etc) (3/3)
Well, sine we are joining the world tour by focus on the family, we've already explored a little of 12 countries, a few of which we've done a little more in the way of food.  You can read them here:  Oceana, Asia, Central Asia/Eastern Europe, Middle East, Africa,

40. Send someone flowers (June 2013)
I made some sunflower pots with the kids with verses on them, and delivered them to various places. 

46. Go berry picking (July 2013)
Last week my inlaws went strawberry picking.  I've determined that it is next to impossible for me to go with the kiddos (and difficult to find a sitter for the one attached to me), so since I had 2 pails of strawberries from them (that I washed, de-stemmed, chopped some of, and froze), I'm gonna count this as done.  I'll probably pick some raspberries with the kids in the garden this year anyway.  Is that cheating?

75. Make homemade ice cream (July 11 2013)
You can see my post on that here!
