Yesterday, my friend emailed about a few things she was planning for the day, one of which was working on a summer book with her kids and I immediately thought, damn, why can’t I be a good Mom with good ideas like that and a pen?
She talked about a summer wish-list where the kids would place a sticker on those special events on the list once they had been achieved. Another blow to old Lizzy, I was totally going to steal that one.
Here are our top twenty….
- Canada’s Wonderland
- Marineland
- African Lion Safari
- Walk on stilts
- Eat cotton candy
- Eat ice cream from a cone (has it ever been done?)
- Eat Tic-Tacs (Chloe)
- Make my milk warmer. This milk is too cold. (spikes milk on floor, lid goes flying, milk spills everywhere)
- “Have a singing concert on our driveway”…wait for it……”for money”
- Ride on Jet Skis
- Have a camp-out in the basement
- Lose a tooth
- Have a lemonade stand for turtles (not to be served to turtles, to raise funds for endangered turtles)
- Have a water balloon fight (how could anything that ends in “fight” go wrong?)
- Roast marshmallows (see lose a tooth for a two for one opportunity)
- Go to the movies and get a treat
- Go boating
- Swim every day
- Have a pool party
- Change my diaper, I have toots
