Summer List

I have a list. It consists of summer to-do's and I'm starting to check some things off! I have some fun things on my list, such as: read at least 3 books for FUN (no parenting magazines, parenting books, or "how to's"....rather, books that I choose for myself, for fun), lots of day trips with our family (you've seen some of these already on my blog), framing family pictures for our home, church activities, and a few inexpensive house projects. Of course, I always have new recipes I want to try too! We will find out the sex of our precious third child in August, so I'm sure some nursery prep will begin as soon as we know!

Now, to get to the "not so fun" parts of the list: cleaning out and cleaning up the house, one room at a time. Some may call it nesting, some may call it a to-do list. Either way, it's a work in progress and has to be done! In preparation for this sweet, new life arriving at the end of this year (can you tell I'm super excited?!), we have started in our closet and will move on from there. Let the fun begin!

Lots of the closet work  happens when Carlie is taking her morning nap. Addie usually hangs out in mommy's bed and reads books!

Ok, now back to the fun stuff! Daddy took the morning off today, and we headed out to pick blueberries. It was SO much fun ~ HOT, but fun! Carlie ate all of the ones she picked!



Remember....I said it was hot!!!

When we finished...

we put our buckets back, and went home to....

make homemade cobbler! Ahhhh, guess I can check this off of my list!
