I keep seeing these wonderful Summer Lists all over the internet, and I thought we’d make one of our own, and I’d make a cute thing like this to display the ideas. So I asked the kids, “Hey kids! Tell me some fun things you’d like to do this summer.”

And here’s what they said.

Poppy
Play in the lion pool.

Put pots on your head.

Do some Puzzle Buzzes.

Make your own book.

Make funny faces.

Get very close to Mama head.

She has already played in the lion pool (it’s inflatable, and it’s in the yard), she got very close to Mama head while I was taking dictation, and she worked on her “Puzzle Buzz” book on and off all day. So it looks like she’s having a bang-up summer thus far.

Pete
I would like to play Rock Band. I would like to play some rocking songs that I like. And that’s all. I must think of some more things. I’d like to play Rock Band, and I’d like to play my favorite video game on there. It is called Pacman. And I’d like to do my other favorite thing. It is called go to the movie theater and watch movies, and I watch DVDs at home. That’s all, Mommy.

So far we’ve done everything on Pete’s list except play Pacman. Looks like my work’s nearly done.

If you’re looking for some great Things to Do This Summer Lists, I’d recommend The Artful Parent’s. She’s chock-full of great ideas.
