February was a fun month because it was Winter School Break! There was no snow, but we still had fun!

One of our highlights was building a Hot Wheel Racetrack! When Elliot started school last August, one man gave Elliot a gift certificate--a wood project of his choice. The man works in a hardware store and enjoys wood projects and building. I thought it was such a cool idea. Anyway, we found this wooden racetrack online and thought it would be a great project! And it was! So much fun to drill, hammer, measure and see it come together!

Baking and Crafts
We have started a project at church for children during the school breaks. We invite as many children as we know and bake and offer different crafts. This time was amazing--the largest crowd we have ever had. Not only children come to bake and do crafts, the moms come as well and enjoy doing things as well. We had about a total of 30 guests. The building was pretty full. We try to do crafts with things that would be thrown away--egg cartons, milk cartons, toilet paper rolls, etc.
