Sand Bucket List 2012

Today is the first official day of Summer 2012 with my kiddos. They had a half day Friday, then I worked all weekend. So today was a sleep in late day and then time to finalize the summer list. We did this last year also (although it was shorter) and we did not finish every item on the list. Our goal is to check off every item this time. Some items are little, others are big. It seems like if we don't setup some goals early in the summer, the time flies by and  it is Back to School time and the lazy days are over. So here is our SAND BUCKET LIST 2012.

I hung the list on our giant chalk board. Now it looks so tiny and bare. Will have to pretty it up later today!

Updated:  I couldn't stand the posterboard attached to the chalkboard, so I had my girls help me write the list on the chalkboard itself, and even checked off a few items already. I also added the felt pom pom banner that I picked up at the Queen Bee market last weekend. I think I'm going to add photos to the banner (using clothes pins) as the summer progresses. It still need some more color, but I'm happy with the changes!

Check out Ali Edward's Summer Manifesto for another list idea. Are you making a summer "to-do" list? Leave me a comment and share.
