Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream

Goals For This Summer:

  1. Start the girls on the first steps toward doing their own laundry.
  2. Go to the park once a week.
  3. Go to the library once a week. (Corollary: Do not lose any books this summer.)
  4. Teach Oldest Girl Child how to sew a straight seam. Help her make something simple.
  5. Start teaching OGC how to cook a dinner.
  6. Gardening
  7. Canning
  8. Get the girls in the habit of keeping their room clean - no going out to play until morning chores are done and beds are made.
  9. Make at least one trip to a local museum or history site
  10. Tour the local cave
I'd like to sign them both up for swimming lessons, ballet, and some sort of martial arts, but the swimming classes were full by the time I remembered to sign up for them (in April), ballet classes are on hiatus for the summer, and well, I really need to get on the stick about getting more information on local dojos.

Of course, anyone want to bet that I'll wake up one day at the end of the summer and think, "Wait a second. Where'd the time go? We didn't do anything!"

Dream big reach high! Have you informed OGC & YGC of your plans?
You could have a family home evening and discuss the list and see what they get excited about...I'll wager their little faces will twist into expressions of agony on being told they'll be cleaning their rooms...he he he he...my evil side is amused.

If they know about the list...you could write it in big letters and put it on the kitchen wall so OGC could read it and remind you of the things she wants to do, which would remind YGC...if the kids get excited you might not have any option but to complete the list...or at least part of it...minus that cleaning bit! :)
