Summer bucket list | summer schedule and organization

 

Now that the kids are getting older it is time

to add a little more to our summer plans.

Normally I have our summer bucket list printed up but

I am the only one to see it. This year I wanted to have it up

so they could help choice what we will doing that week.

You can check out the list I am made here.

We may or may not get to it all.

 

 

I also came up with daily chores (nothing to crazy)

and a summer schedule more for Jordan and I.

I strive on having a schedule to follow and a to do list.

For some reason seeing it helps me!

 

 

I have been letting Jordan know for weeks now that his

summer is not going to be sitting in front of the tv playing Minecraft.

I am hoping having the schedule he can see what he needs to be

doing and will keep us busy enough there is no "I'm bored"

I am not a real crazy though.

This is flexible.

If it is a yucky day I am totally fine with lounging in pjs

and having a movie day or lazy day as Jordan says.

 

Michelle is included in this too.

She may be a teenager but she still has to

hang out with us occasionally.

She enjoys going along with a friend to the lake with us.

I did make her get a summer job working on the raspberry picker.

That will keep her very busy for about a month.

I won't be making her have quiet time in her room though.

She already does that on her own lol.

 

Here's how I put together our summer spot.

First I made magnets to hold each days activities.

The magnets were not sticking good at all so I don't

go buy some crazy glue to help them stay on the clothes pins.

 

 

I then we through all my project life cards

and picked out some journaling cards that would work good!

The two smaller cards I filled with the kids daily chores.

The two bigger ones I wrote down our daily schedule.

I have two schedules one for at home/library days

and another is for our field trip days when we spend the

day out and about!

 



I filled in a bunch with items off our summer bucket list.

 

I then took all that and displayed it on our fridge where

everyone can see it! Hopefully this will help

us have a productive but fun summer with less

I am bored or whining because can't play video games all day.

 



 

Today is the last day of school and

we are more then ready to jump right into summer!
