i know, funny - we both post our summer lists today. :) and, sigh, someday it would be awesome to go out to your house and check off some of our summer to dos. someday! (when dad wins the lottery . . . :)
ReplyDeletesounds like you'll have a fantastic summer - if you can get the energy and patience. :) i so know what you mean. i have lots of ideas, but they usually just stay in my head.
You know your planning and list making makes my heart happy! Looks great! I always struggle with the desire to give our kids lots of experiences so they aren't bored (aka fighting all the time) and the desire to keep things simple and force them to get themselves "un-bored."
ReplyDeleteYeah, your list made me tired just reading it. My kids won't be getting even a quarter of that this summer, unfortunately. But your kids are going to have a blast! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Mind if we join you on some of these? About 1/3 fall on my list as well!
