But there are things I still am going to do this summer, here is my list of 30 things as inspired from a writing prompt from MamaKat
30 Things I vow to do this summer1. Go out for my anniversary still (only 6 days away)
2. Start Time for Tots again-as well we are stuck at home now thanks to preemie baby
3. Decorate Ryder's room super cute-since the youngest of the families always get spoiled
4. Somehow go and see Eclipse this summer
5. Write in my journal again regularly
6. Take lots of and lots of newborn shots.. I have a subject who can't go anywhere
7. Set up the pool and sprinklers for my kids on a regular basis
8. Get Ryder on a good sleep schedule
9. Get some sun-but no sunburns allowed
10. Go shopping at a thrift store all by myself
11. Plant some flowers with the kids.
12. Laugh my head off while watching Wipeout all summer long.
13. Complete some sort of craft for myself this summer.
14. Get down on the floor and play with kids.
15. Start daily personal scripture study again.
16. Read a book for fun, any suggestions??
17. Play my flute at least a few times this summer
18. Hmm.. this is getting hard is anyone still reading?
19. Eat a Popsicle or ice-cream
20. Take some formal shots of my bigger kids too, don't want to totally neglect them
21. Get dressed almost every day-let's be realistic here
22. Arrange some
23. Actually get Lucas signed up for swim lessons.. I had better call today
24. Go to the zoo once Ryder can go in crowded public places
25. Get my hair cut and dyed.. so many grays again
26. Some how figure out how to get Alex to stop biting her finger and toe nails
27. Almost to 30... sad I am having so much trouble with this, guess I know we are stuck at home most of the summer, such a bad time to have a preemie baby
28. Get caught up on all of the shows we are behind on thanks to Ryder's unexpected birth
29. Actually write thank you notes to everyone who gave us nice presents and helped us last month
30. Celebrate because I actually finished this list, maybe I will be able to get some things done with a newborn after all.
Number 12 is my number 1. I love that show and will watch it just to get in a better mood. There is just something to terribly funny about people falling off those big balls.
ReplyDeleteWait a minute! Is your anniversary June 16th?! If so, that's my anniversary too! Small world!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new bundle of joy! You helped me remember a few things I left off of my list. :-)
ReplyDeleteBetter to have a premie in the summer than the winter, even if it does make the summer less fun, at least you don't have to worry about flu season!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving your list. Can't wait to see the pictures of Ryder and the pictures of his room. Oh yeah, AND the pictures of your other two cuties too!
Good luck watching Eclipse!

Uncross the weekly and go with the daily on the popsicles and ice cream. Then your list is perfect!
ReplyDeleteGratz Emmy for a healthy and bouncing boy and welcome Ryder!
ReplyDeleteSummer is a blessing for you and Eric to celebrate, don’t limit it by 30. There are really lots of things you can do like go to the park or beach.
Just wondering why getting fit is not in your list.. you have to! After my wife got birth a bought him some health products to keep him shape and healthy.
Please update us with photos..
Just writing up that list is quite an accomplishment! Having a list, though, might help get those things done! I am SOOOOOO looking forward to Wipeout! Did you watch the Blind Date Edition last week? Oh my gosh! Now they are making us wait til June 22 to see more! That show makes me cry AND pee my pants from laughing so hard!
ReplyDeleteI have to make a point to get dressed most of the week too...its so easy to just hang out in comfy pj type clothes all day
ReplyDeleteShoot I need to do some of these things. Hahaha.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list! You really are an amazing mother!
ReplyDeleteSounds like some great ingredients for a wonderful summer! Happy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteI always take mt babies to the movies. I took my last one to opening night of new moon. Enjoy eclipse.
ReplyDeleteGreat list.
Just an Older Mom word of advice with a new born...cut your list in half...you will feel better when it doesn't get all done. I would keep the eating ice cream and running through the sprinklers :)
ReplyDeleteIf you even do 5 things on the list, I'll think you are a major success. Be sure to focus on the ones that give you some precious YOU time.
