Summer Fun List

Now as many of you know, I am a list maker.  My lists don't always get completed, but I sure like to make them.  Before every trip we take, I make lists. When I go grocery shopping, I make a list. I LOVE back-to-school item lists!! So it should be no surprise that I made a list for Summer Fun.  The kids helped compile this and we placed it on the front door so it was clearly visible.  As we did our items, we highlighted them, if we did them more than one time they were highlighted and then a hash mark was placed next to it corresponding to how many times the activity was completed.  Now, I know what you are thinking...we are a little OCD in our house. Probably. I happened to look at the door today and noticed how many things we have managed to mark off on our list.  It made me feel pretty good about the summer activities Ken and I were able to provide the kids with.  We may not always have the most money to buy the newest gadget or go on the most expensive vacations, but we really know how to have fun!  Keep in mind that the first 2 items the kids wanted to add on the Summer Fun list were "nothing" and "video games"!!   (note the above list is not actually ours, and mine was a little neater!!)
