It's August already
I head back to work in 2 weeks
but my kids still have 5 weeks
left of summer vacation
and I plan to make it awesome
we make a list like this each summer now
an idea I got from my neighbor
who is the most funnest mom ever
swear
the list pictured above is not our list
our list is written in crayon and hangs on the fridge
a few things still need to be crossed off our list
including the Minnesota Zoo
the Minneapolis Institute of Art
sleeping in the tree house
and a proper picnic
we eat outside a lot
between soccer games and swimming lessons
so when my daughter asked for a picnic
I was surprised
me: what do you think a picnic is?
her: you know a basket, a blanket, food spread out on it
me: you mean smushed pb&j in a lunchbox
on the tailgate of our car
in the parking lot of the middle school is not a picnic?
nope guess not
peace

ReplyDeletethat list is adorable! fridge lists are too. I was hoping to pull together a picnic yet this summer also. your daughter is one smart cookie!
ReplyDeleteGah, that list has some lofty goals. Just looking at it is making me tired. It's a great idea though I'm afraid if you don't get to something the kid is going to be all disappointed and bummed out.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking I add stuff to a list of things we've DONE this summer. This way at the end the kid is all like, "Damn mom, we did a lot this summer!" instead of, "Damn mom you never did blah blah di blah blah with me".
Hopefully your kid doesn't say damn either.
