Summer Bucket List

We've been doing a lot of waiting around here.
It's been over two months since we had a foster placement. 
And, as many of you know, I am not good at waiting.

I've been doing a lot of holding-my-breath.

  • Eat some sno-cones
  • Make and eat lots of smoothies
  • Play in the sprinklers
  • Build an awesome fort
  • Blow bubbles
  • Read lots of books
  • Draw with sidewalk chalk

  • Spread lots of sunshine

I'm hoping that we can fit in some trips to the lake and maybe a camping trip.
