The Summer To Do List
Wednesday was officially the first day of summer (peers out the window), at least according to my calendar. While I’ve sorted out most of our summer holiday plans, which officially starts July 18, I hadn’t actually compiled the to-do list I’ve been working on with the kidlings.
This summer may be the start of our last year here in the UK – the beauty of the open-ended assignment – so I don’t want to take a single minute for granted….

You need this for the water balloon fight. Greatest invention ever! We haven’t had to tie a water balloon all summer (and they’ve made about 1500)
We bought two of them.

I am going to do the Ivory soap in the microwave and I’d like to try the bleached t-shirts…that’s neat!

Thanks for the link up! I love your list and think I’ll add a few to our list – bleached out t-shirts, baking soda/vinegar balloon and blowing up Ivory Soap in the microwave (though, that will have to wait until we are back State-side). Looks like a FUN summer at your home!
