our summer list

every summer i always make a list of the activities and things i want to accomplish with the boys but i've always just done it on my own and written it in my notebook. i got inspired to involve the boys in the actual making of the list when i saw meg's summer list on her blog, "whatever" . thanks for the idea meg!

we made our list over memorial day weekend and the boys loved being a part of it and they thought getting to write whatever they wanted was fun too. the very first thing cooper wrote was "take naps". i was like "what?!...seriously?" i have no idea where that came from because the dude hasn't taken a nap since he turned 2 but hey--momma likes that idea!

we have this hanging in our kitchen and have already crossed a few things off and added a couple new ideas as well. everyday now i hear the question "what are we doing off our summer list today?". i love it! although i had to explain that momma needs some days just to be home to do other fun things like laundry and cleaning toilets! ughh.

this week easton and cooper have been at "camp invention" and tomorrow morning i send off cooper to church camp for the first time. the spending-the-night-away-from-home kind of camp...sigh, another one growing up on me!

summer is here folks! and i'm lovin' it!!
