This year we joined the crowd and made a summer bucket list!
Inspired by this one I saw on pinterest and blogged about, we went with a geeky science theme. Each summer fun event is listed on a post it note and designed to resemble (humor me) the periodic table of the elements.
Some of our activities include:

I shared the fun at Serenity Now , A Beautiful Ruckus , I Can Teach My Child , 3 Boys and a dog, Tutus & Tea Parties , and Cheerios and Lattes.
I LOVE your nerdy bucket list! It's so creative and original!
ReplyDeleteThank you for that sidewalk paint recipe and I definitely need to make a summer bucket list as well. There's only one more month of summer vacation for us and there's still so much for us to do.
ReplyDeleteI'm so trying out that sidewak paint!
ReplyDeleteWhat a FANTASTIC idea!!! :) How did you ever come up with so many ideas?
ReplyDeletePartly pinterest and partly with my own noggin. :) Thanks!
DeleteThe sidewalk chalk looks like so much fun! I'm a total weirdo and hate the feeling of actualy chalk in my hands. Where is Google FC going!?
ReplyDeleteAs of July 1st, Google Friend Connect will be GONE. I was not happy about that. BUT BlogLovin is great. Come jump on the bandwagon. It took me like 30 seconds to set up my account, import all my fave blogs, and now I get one email a day with my feed in it.
DeleteOh and I -hate- the weird chalk feeling too! SHUDDERS
DeleteThat is so so so so cool! I think we'll do that next summer! This one is almost over before my boy goes to spend 3 weeks with his Dad.
ReplyDeleteI love the "Periodic Table" bucket list. Very creative! :)
ReplyDeletePinning this- lots of fun, simple ideas. And cute idea with the periodic table!

Cute ideas Tammy. I really like the ice bowling idea.
ReplyDeleteLove this and I am totally inspired to start a bucket list! I will check out some of your suggestions - thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteI so should have done this with Ema this year! Probably would have been awesome! Guess this just goes to show I was so not prepared for a summer at home :/ I've always worked and Ema been at a camp with me!
