Not this year! I've compiled a lot of stuff to keep us busy and (fingers crossed) out of trouble!
I've diced up my master list into three categories. The first category are the things that we will be doing on a regular (if not daily) basis...like summer reading at the Library. Next I have the category "Spontaneous Bucket Fun". These are the things that I'll write down on slips of paper and then have the kids pick from an actual bucket. My goal is to have everything needed to do these things rounded up and ready so we can do whatever the kids pick from the bucket. My final category are things that take a little more planning, need to be done on a weekend, or things Dad wants to be a part of.
Now...on to the list!
