Day 1 of Summer 2011

Day 1 of Summer Vacation for 2011

I woke up this morning, our first day of summer vacation, to find Peanut sick to his tummy at 4am. Yay! So our plans to begin our Summer Lovin' picks. (It's our version of the Summer Bucket List) Little Peanut wasn't up for much more than Pedialite and Disney movies. Which was fine.

This is how we spent our first day of summer vacation. Peanut is the one in the yellow. This was as alert as he could muster all day. Poor thing.

I did manage to put the finishing touches on our version of the Summer Bucket List. I used a revamped formula can instead of a bucket. Buckets never last long in my house because of Bulldozer. That boy has a talent for destruction. We decided to title our Summer Lovin' and it includes about 42 colorful pieces of paper with summer ideas printed on them.

Some of our ideas include:

• Having a campout in the living room
• Making a puppet theater
• Making bubble wands
• Make homemade ice cream and
• Having a no-electronics day

I've also decided to take a picture of my kiddos doing these things every day of summer vacation to make a scrapbook in August!
Have a happy summer break everyone!!
