Summer's Half Gone!

Every year around our Anniversary, I look at Ryan and say, "Oh my gosh! Summer is half gone and we haven't done anything we wanted to do!" Then I get sad, frustrated and seriously motivated! I love, love, love living in Colorado, but I hate the short summers. Are they only short in Colorado or is that a universal thing? It seems like as soon as it stopped being spring we were halfway into June, now it's HOT and pretty soon the snow will start to fly! I think as the kids get older and start school I am really going to feel the shortness of summers because there will be very real boundaries on the summer from school.

This year I can say we have actually done some stuff this summer - we had a great vacation away, we moved to a new house and we have had lots of fun pool and water play days in the backyard. Yet I still feel like we haven't done most of what I wanted to do! So in order to motivate myself and have some accountability I am going to make one of my famous lists! This is the only way I really ever get anything accomplished, you know!

What We Want to do This Summer:
1. Go visit family
        Grandpa H and Fishin' Grandpa
2. Go camping (at least once!)
3. Have a BBQ and invite some friends over
4. Take the girls to the pool.

See, when I write it all down it becomes not quite as daunting! Now all we have to do is squeeze all of these things in before Labor Day and we will have had a successful summer!  What do you want to get done before the end of summer? Take the time to make some plans today.  As I re-read my list I am already thinking of things that didn't even make it to the list because I know they won't get done - so they are going on next year's list! Is that cheating? Haha!
