LISTS: TO REMEMBER (this week)

I love lists.  I make lists for all kinds of things:  to do, to clean, to organize, to buy, to cook, and on and on!  I also cheat a bit and put things on a list that I have accomplished already just so I can have a few items crossed off.  Because it's really the happiest feeling to have a list of crossed off to do's.

This week's to do list was never-ending.  Places to be, things to make, treats to bring, presents to buy...it would all get crossed off, and I'm happy to be looking back at the week, having survived!  We missed a few naps and a couple of showers (this might include me) but we made it through!

So here it is.  Our TO DO list for last week (the highlights), in no particular order.  Now, more of a TO REMEMBER list.

• Help in Landen's Classroom for the last time...we made Father's Day treats
• Landen's Father's Day Kindergarten Celebration...

there was singing

Layne gets credit for creatively playing on the floor during the program

• Birthday Breakfast at Bagel Shack
• Birthday Party for Landen's buddy Wright
• Get to last Soccer Practice
• A Soccer Game...1st playoff game!  Ladybugs vs.

• Build a garden box

more of a "honey-do" item

• Plant the garden box:  go to Lowe's, have the kids pick veggies, have the kids help plant

• Late Night Cooking Camp meeting with my awesome partner Hillary!  We literally talked food until midnight!  We love it!

our bucket of cooking camp tricks

• Go visit Lisa and her new baby girl...welcome Alyssa Lauren!
• Go fill up the car.  Going to the gas station frequently ends up at the bottom of the list.  This time, it didn't get crossed off.  As in, I didn't make it to the station.  As in, I ran out of gas, with 2 of my kids and 1 borrowed kid in the car, panicking along with me!  My to-do quickly became, make a fun adventure out of running out of gas!

grateful my camera was in the car...this photo shoot gave us all something fun to do!

grateful we were stranded by the dog park and the nature trails

grateful I was dropping off at a party, and 2 friends were not too far behind

super grateful for Craig Mordock...one of those friends who came to our rescue and was back in a flash to bring gasoline and get us back on the move

And now we get to sit.  And be couch potatoes for a minute.  Until we wake up Monday morning to the last week of school...the kindergarten carnival, the second grade park day, game day, the teacher's gifts, the lunch box exchange, and the sock hop!   Just another TO DO list waiting to be made!
