The boys are ridiculously excited about summer (I am too, but that should only last about a week) and have created a summer bucket list. We're also singing the annual "Summer of fun" family jingle already, just so we're completely ready for the summer kick-off party (which only includes the 4 of us, but still.) It's going to be a busy and...interesting few months. The list includes:
Print summer checklist

(and because it's already a pretty long list....)

Fun list! Not sure if you have an ice cream maker but I love making ice cream in a bag with kiddos. I have the recipe here http://preppypinkcrocodile.blogspot.com/2007/10/ice-cream-in-bag.html
Happy almost summer!

What? No "Go visit Oklahoma"? Come visit! Actually, I think we are headed your way in the fall. I don't pay much attention to vacation plans- I just wait for Mr. Sasha to tell me when to pack and when we are leaving.
