After a very long, almost painful, ten months, school is out! Monster #2, my youngest son, has been counting down the days for the entire month of May, and honestly, I have as well.
On the way home from dinner Friday night, Monster #2 announced that since school was behind him until August, he needed to sit down and make his summer list.
“Summer list?” I asked, glancing at him in the rearview mirror.
“Yeah, Mama, it’s like a bucket list, only it’s what you do during the summer.”
Ahhh. Makes sense to me. So much that I’m including my own summer list below. Feel free to share yours in the comments section.

Many of the same things as you! I want to read at least one book a week, write a new book, paint my bedroom, spend a day a week with my mom, eat breakfast out back…
One more week!
