Spring Bucket List

This is actually pretty easy...

1. Get Ready Rythm and the House For Graduation. Who knew there was so much to do?? Who knew it would start so soon. I think we were only in the 2nd full week of school and they were sending things home. Announcements, senior pics, food, location, time, date, theme, cap and gown. Oh...the big ones too...what do you want to do when you graduate? Are you going to live at home, get an apartment, live in the dorms? So much to do...so many decisions to make. And keep living the rest of your life while you do it. The house is not ready yet. We are making baby step progress but it occurred to me today that we are now down to 28 days before the big event. I'm praying a lot. 

2. Get Flowers/Garden Planted. I have great intentions. I do the flower garden and Steve is in charge of the vegetable garden. We are both behind I'm afraid. Thank goodness some of my things in the flower garden have already started to grow. That makes it a little easier. The weather in NE does not help with the whole planting thing. We never know if we are really done with freezing temps. I'm hoping so. I'm praying so. 

3. Plan and Organize Summer Vacation and Activities. I think we might be mostly good there. At least with the planning. I like to have things organized and it pains me that I do not have these lists done yet. Tai is spending a week in KC for Culinary Camp. Rey is spending 3 weeks in MN to see her biological dad. Genna is playing softball. Ariez is going to an acting camp. The family is going to KC for family vacation and Steve and I will spend 5 days in Mexico for my little brother's wedding. Plans are most certainly made...now, if only we could win the lottery to help pay for all of this! 

4. Get All Summer Clothes Out and Organized. They are out. They are not organized. This is causing me endless amounts of stress. I love having it done, I just hate doing it. I really just need to bite the bullet and do it because in the meantime, I'm losing my mind. Again, the NE weather does not help with this. What is safe to actually put away? And OMGOSH...how many clothes do we actually need for each person? Mind blowing...and not in a fun way. Although I will say that we are truly blessed to have so much for all the kids. 

5. Get Pictures On The Walls. Really...we've only lived here a year and a half. It needs to happen. I have some. They aren't the ones I want or the way I want them. Any creative types that would like to help with this project? This is something I'd really like to have done by graduation so...time's a wasting. 

6. Build Patio With Fire Pit. This has been on the Spring list for a really long time and it just may not happen again this spring or summer. I'll be okay if it doesn't. Some day I will have the perfect little space set up exactly how it looks in my mind. Until then, I'm glad I have my swing and I'm glad we have such a beautiful yard. 

I'm sure there are things I'm forgetting. There almost always are things that I'm forgetting but I think those are the big ones. Anyone wanting to assist is welcome! :)
