So I had this idea Monday evening. I really like the notion of planning fun stuff for the kids over summer break (Pez does an awesome job of this with her Summer O'Fun). But I think this and almost never go through with it (yep, didn't make one day trip as far as I can remember that summer).
So! I decided if I blogged about this like I did my weight loss I'd hold myself more accountable and things would actually get done. I did a little math and came up with the 50 Days of Summer from June 12th through August 18th (not counting weekends). Course my kids don't get out of school until June 15th but I know many of your children are already out. And I want you to play along!
The rules are really simple, I'll post the week's 5 activities on Sunday evening. Then you can pick and chose what you would like to do. No pressure to do everything and activities don't have to be done in any order. And you also don't have to have children, you can be the kid! (I'm thinking the "Paper Airplane Day" might be a hit at the office.)
Oh right, more about the activities. They won't be anything crazy like "Create the statue of David with paper mache". In fact you might already be doing some of them like "PJ Day" (a personal favorite here). I tried to pick activities that would appeal to Zach (almost 9 years old) but yet easy enough for Kelly (3 1/2 years). The whole point is to gently remind you of the fun things you can easily do with minimal planning.
So click over to the main 50 Days of Summer page and sign up! Grab a button if you'd like (I'm way too obsessed with Photoshop some days). Each week will have its own set of comments and I promised to update our progress at the Fleck household. But mostly, it's summer! Have fun!
