Family fun day paper crafts-milk carton barn.
“Every time you sit down to eat…thank a farmer.” Hey everyone. Only two more paper crafts for the summer are left. I can’t believe how fast the summer is going. This craft is a little more complicated but you can simplify it by not adding little barn doors or a hay loft window. Supplies needed-…
An Arizona road trip-checking up on Our Little Red House

Update on the chicks
