Here we come sUmMeR fUn!

I saw Chris' super fun Summer to-do list over on Just A Girl last night and tonight I decided.... I am absolutely jumping on the creative cycle in blog world that she mentions and doing one for my crew :) The kids and I sat on my bed tonight, making a list, checking it twice, and well you get the idea :) 20 minutes of pure bliss, no fighting, just giggles and excitement, where was the photographer dang it...

After those little rascals FINALLY went to bed, I busted out my secret stash of markers and went to town :)

Final product... leaves me itching for the morning and one little box of fun to check off!!

Just to explain a few of those boxes ;)

*Mail out Monday... remember back in the day where you had to hand write a letter, and buy a stamp and MAIL it.... No not Email, not fax, and surely NOT text, mail. One of my absolute fAvOrItE things from my child hood was getting mail, I still have a collection of letters from my friends and family :) I don't want my kids to miss out on that, so this winter we started writing to penpals, and friends, and family, its kind of hit or miss but the kids really love it, and it's a great reason to practice writting over summer, so grab a pen, pencil, crayon, marker, whatevers handy and get writting people!

*Weekly picnic in the park... Fun... I KNOW, Eliana and I started the week she graduated preschool, we've done good so far going atleast once a week, maybe even more than once a week? anyhow, we want to keep that fun-ness going ALL SUMMER LONG!! Did I mention the awesome parks we have around us?

*Crazy Craft Day, the only thing that makes my children more happy than sneaking pure sugar when they think I don't know is being creative... they LOVE to make stuff, I have a house full of... Stuff ;) to prove it, perhaps a little "organized" crazy craft day each week!!

You can probably figure out the rest, but if not, just ask, don't be shy I'll tell ya ALL about it!

So tell me... what's on YOUR sUmMeR fUn To-Do LiSt?
