Really good list! I know you can do all this summer, you go girl!
ReplyDeleteGreat list. I agree with all except the run 5x's per week! ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list, love them all and I also need to get working out too! Good luck to us both on that one.
ReplyDeleteNot only is it a great list but so nicely done!
ReplyDeleteJust popped in from Mama Kat!Chris
You should come and visit Chicago and we can knock plenty of these off your list, especially the prosecco on an outdoor patio (assuming it is after the baby comes)!
ReplyDeleteThose are great things to do!! Toledo Zoo is on our list too :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous list! I have to do mine now. I'm a new follower. - Amy

Sounds like a great list! And I love how it kind of flows like a poem. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the way you wrote this! Very clever.
ReplyDeleteYour list made me tired. I just want 50 freakin' minutes to myself this summer.
ReplyDeleteI love every single one, Now If I could just get to your house to help you with at least 25 of them!!!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteHave a fantastic summer my sweet friend :)
You, too! I am going to keep track of them :)
ReplyDeleteThat might be the hardest one to do!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much :)
ReplyDeleteHi Amy! Thanks for following :) Have fun making your list!
ReplyDeleteI think we're going this week! Ryan is taking a couple days off; we are excited, because Abbey likes elephants, and this will be the first time she sees a real one.
ReplyDeleteWe should plan a visit, soon! I hope you're still feeling well :)
ReplyDeleteSome of them will be easy for me to get to, some of them not so much!
ReplyDeleteAw come on! Everyone's doing it :)
ReplyDeleteI hope so! It's fun to have them to inspire me when I need something new to do!
ReplyDeleteHi Angie - Loved your list! Summers with little children are AWESOME! You suddenly have an excuse to just sit and do nothing else besides enjoy the sunshine and watch your babies play and learn! To illustrate the difference bectween your young children and my teenagers.... I happened to glance at my 20-yr-old's Summer To-Do list (that she left out - I did not snoop - lol) Among the usual - Read a book, volunteer, get a tan ..... #12 was ... " Win a game of beer bounce(bong)". How I wish I could still be watching her jumping around the playground! I'm starting my list right now ........
