Summer Bucket List

Summer is just about to begin around here.
I know most schools have already let out but we are still in. Thursday is the last day.
I'm in the midst of making a summer bucket list with the kids and thought I should make one for myself (which does include some of the items on "their" list because it's things I also want to do). Some of the items are things I'm working on already - lifestyle kind of items, while the rest are really just about what I want to do in the summer.

My 2012 Summer Bucket List

• Get back into the gym or at least exercising - This is a HUGE priority! 
• Meal plan; more importantly to meal plan while we're out doing fun stuff...pack snacks and lunches! 
• Lose 20 pounds - that may be a stretch for me because I lose so slowly, but I'm giving it a go just the same. 
• Go to BBQ's - my neighbors host a lot of BBQ's during the summer. I sometimes go, this year I plan on making it more of a habit to go an be apart of the social goings and not so much for the food. 
• Have a pig roast (OK, this is more for my husband - he really wants to have one, I would like to make it happen for him...I won't eat the pig though, not my idea of yumm)
• Spend some time in NH at the lake
• Spend some time in ME - go to the zoo and the beaches. 
• Go to the beach
• Bring the kids to the sprinkler park 
• do a load of laundry a day
• vacuum daily 
• make a chore chart for both boys. 
• make 3 things from Pinterest
• Finish my little guy's baby album
• try a new veggie once a week (have I ever mentioned I hate most veggies?)
• Go geocaching
• Go for a hike
• Go for a bike ride on the bike trail (this is more contingent on my eldest learning to ride - he's really afraid of riding)
• Hit the new outlet shops

Bring on the summah-time!


And I will add to this list as I think more about it. 


What are you up to this summer?
