26. Learn to crochet. Last week a lady we call Grandma Irene and her friend (and ours) Jean-Anne came by for a visit. Grandma Irene babysat and folded laundry while Jean-Anne reintroduced me to crocheting. The older three girls wanted to learn too, but M doesn't have the fine motor skills, and it's just not K's thing, but CJ picked it up right away (at least the chaining part). The plan now is for me to finish a blanket I started in 2004. I want to purchase some beginning sewing items too - lacing cards for W and M, spool knitters for K and CJ and a couple of larger crochet hooks for them to get more practice. Although I never learned young, I think it is an important skill and hobby to have.
33. Have "coffee" with a friend twice a month.
38. Schedule yearly dentist appointments for the family. I called and set up appointments for the children. Under a government program the children are fully covered for dental work. DH and I will have to wait to have dentist appointments until he has fully time, long term employment.
70. Learn to use power tools to make things for our home such as decorations. We bought me my own drill, and I’ve used it.
