summer fun list

Even though we did this last year I just wanted to share real quick why we make our summer fun list. I saw it on another blog and loved it because it helps you be intentional with your summer time. Now I'm all about waking up late, lazing around in jammies and doing nothing BUT I don't want to spend every day doing nothing for a couple hours and then thinking 'maybe we should do something' but have no plans so we don't do anything but continue to do nothing. So we make a list of fun things we'd like to accomplish and then do as many of them as possible. Last year I pretty much made out the whole list because 3 year old Micah didn't really care and/or understand. 4 year old Micah was all about it though. We sat at the table during Connor's nap time and brainstormed for awhile. Here is what we came up with (with plenty of room to add some extras)
