Summer Bucket List

We did a summer bucket list in 2019 and it was a lot of fun, so we decided to do it again this year. What I like about it most, is that it sometimes forces us to get out and do fun things, even when we feel like just staying home. Although, we did a lot of that too this summer. Summers are rough in Arizona and we are just now seeing the end of it and the days are getting nice again, we are all excited for fall!

The boys and I came up with some things we wanted to do this summer, wrote them down and hung them on our garage door as a daily reminder.

Playing in the rain! This was actually in Michigan and Finn still talks about this day. Fox didn't want to have anything to do with the rain.

Travel to Michigan and visit our friend Allison.

Making s'mores!

Making cookies

Ice Cream Date!

Play at Uptown Jungle

Go to Skyzone

Camping with friends...always a favorite!

Visit the aquarium.

Sleepover with a friend (with Jake at the Princess Resort).

Watch fireworks

Swim at night

Go to a water park

Indoor mini golfing

Have a water balloon fight

Have a game night (Finn was already sleeping).

Go to Legoland

Make cookies (again!)

Visit the Natural History Museum

Write cards to friends

Go to the movie theater (we saw Space Jam 2).

Have snow cones.

Go to the splash pad

Play at Kids Empire

Go to the beach

I think the only thing we didn't cross off the list was to have a "yes day". Fox decided that for his yes day, he wanted to go to the Great Wolf Lodge again, so I booked us a stay for a later date.

It was a fun-filled summer, but we are ready for pumpkin patches and Halloween fun!

April phone dump

Some more pictures of our April. He's my bed hog, but I love sharing the bed with him and the way he comes find me in his sleep to snuggle up to me. Work Crew! Easter Preparations...it took me a solid hour to fill all the eggs. Finn chipped his permanent front tooth, and had to get it fixed. He was so brave. I tried to hold his hand to let him know I was there, and he kept giving me a thumbs up. Reading in bed with them is my favorite. We went to play mini golf, and it was an absolutely shit show. Just look at Finn in the background, he was on fire on this day. That's his "cool face". Not pictured are all the times he melted down because he wasn't "good enough". I really need to stop playing this game with him, because it happens every single time...haha. Book Club! I wasn't a fan of the book, but it was great getting out and talking about books with other readers. He got into kinetic sand for a few weeks, and I felt like my floors were covered in s...

August iPhone dump

Some moments from my August... Coffee treats during busy shifts! Fox had a pool playdate with some friends. First day of middle school! Unfortunately I had to work and couldn't send him off that day, but my favorite co-parent came through with some pictures from the bus stop. Found a bunch of these selfies on my phone haha. On the way to school one morning, middle school is rough apparently. A quick brunch with friends to celebrate the end of summer break! My sweet friend Nikki gave me this bucket full of beautiful dresses that she had outgrown. A lot of them still had tags on them! Dinner date with the boys, they preferred playing a game together instead of talking to me...haha! Homework struggles have begun again! Sweet treats after school while we wait for Finn to get off the bus. Unfortunately their buses arrive an hour apart from each other, so we have a lot of waiting around because the bus stop is too far from my house. He was helping me make schnitzel! We watched Bad guys ...
