Summer List (aka Summerpalooza 2010)

Every May 20something the big kids and I sit down and write a "summer list."  This is a list of things we would like to do during our summer vacation.  My rule is that their list items must be "do-able" things.  
For example, "go to Hawaii" or "build a state of the art time machine" are not "do-able" for obvious reasons. 
"Go to Sonic for a happy-hour drink," very "do-able." 
Along those same lines, we also try to keep a reasonable budget in mind, (you're welcome, Chris).  
So, without further adieu, here's our list for summerpalooza, 2010!!!

KEY:  Cole    Sydney     Mom    Everyone

watergun fight       spa day       start a running program       go to dallas museum of art       block party       plant sunflowers        read bible everyday        research projects       take zeke to dirty dawgs       paint pottery       library day (storytime with GK)        white rock skate      learn latin       kids cooking night    farmers' market       read chapter book to big kids       putt-putt       read 6 chapter books by the end of summer        picnic at the park       repurpose "junk" furniture for my new classroom        try something new    baking       family nights       go to six flags       arboretum concert nights     new recipe once a week 


So, what do you think?  Sound like fun?  The first child to utter the words, "I'm borrrrred mom," gets a swift kick in the pants.  With a list like this, we have NO TIME for summer boredom.  
Wish us luck.  Here's to a fun and memorable summer!
