Let’s check in on April's goals and my progress.

• Read 20 books - Fail. I did get pretty close with 18 books finished.

• Paint the craft/library room ✓

• Make Easter baskets for the boys ✓

• Clean up the yard ✓

• Get supplies for a small vegetable garden - Fail. I haven’t gotten around to making a shopping list.

• Every-other-day neighborhood walks ✓

• Go on an Easter Egg hunt ✓

May’s Goals:

• Read 15 books - Scaling it back just a bit to keep moving along.

• Acquire furniture for craft/library room - I think I’ve decided on a library bookcase and hoping to get it soon. And I’m hoping Ikea fixes their stock issues so I can get my crafting system.

• May Movie Month - I’ve compiled a list of movies that I keep forgetting about watching. So next month we’re going to pick a movie to watch every night.

• Hang curtains and art - Putting those things up makes the house feel more finished.

• Make a decision about Reading Retreat and end of Summer - I need to get some tentative plans in place.

• Acquire summer school materials for Arthur - Instruction from his school ends May 14th, but I need to keep him learning especially if we are still going to be quarantined.
