the list


summer is here. can you feel it? the air is filled with the laughter and yells of children. the garden is growing and the flip flops are out. our summer has started off as a crazy mess. i feel that every morning we hit the ground running and we don't stop until the crickets start chirping. don't get me wrong, it has been fun and exciting, all the new adventures, but with my summer class i can already feel the "there is not enough time" mantra creeping into my head. and I cant stop thinking about our little m starting school in the fall. no more leisurely days of last minute trips to the zoo, lazy afternoons in the park, fly by the seat of our pants adventures. there will be a schedule! and most of you know how I am with schedules. so before all of this craziness takes us away i am making a list. yes, a list, of things to do this summer. here goes

1. explore a new park every week with a picnic lunch

2. family camping trips, at least 3

3. eat popsicles in the yard

4. let the kids stay up late to look at the stars

5. dinner on the patio

6. squirt gun fights in the yard

7. saturday morning family bike rides to the farmers market

8. BBQ's with friends

9. a spontaneous trip

10. snuggling my babies and soaking up their sweetness

11. taking tons of pictures
