Wow, that does sound like a lot! But it sounds fun, and like it would fill the days, which I always love. I've been thinking about doing something with a bones theme lately, and I picked up a little toy skeleton (Halloween decorations!) at the dollar store tonight that I thought could be fun to use. So I'll look forward to reading more about your ideas. I also like your idea of posting a Weekly Plan. I have one, but I don't post it, and it might help me to have it in one place.
