<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We are in our final two weeks of summer vacation, and we still have a few things left to check off our summer bucket list. The great thing about this list is that they are all things you can do at home. Here are 10 things to squeeze in before summer ends...</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><u>1. Cover the driveway (or sidewalk) in chalk pictures</u></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We tried really hard to fill in as much of the driveway as we could. You'll need a lot of chalk for this one. </span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<center>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><u>2. Finish a whole coloring book</u></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This one will be a bit of a challenge for my kids. We've been working on a little bit each night. </span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><u>3. Have fun with Glow Sticks</u></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This should be easy! One day we tried taping glow sticks to the ceiling fan. Another time we turned off the lights and used the glow sticks to spell out words. Whatever makes you happy.</span></center>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<center>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><u>4. Blow bubbles</u></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Since my kids are getting older, this is something they wouldn't do unless it's on the list. Simple joys.</span></center>

<center>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><u>7. Picnic</u></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This one we will hopefully be checking off the list tomorrow!</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><u>8. Play in the rain</u></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This was one of my favorite things to do as a kid!</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><u>9. Run in the sprinkler</u></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We are all about playing in the pools, but you have run through sprinklers, too. It's another summer must.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><u>10. Make a Lemonade Stand</u></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This one takes a little more work, but its still fun. We are planning ours for this weekend.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">All of these ideas came off of our summer bucket list. We made our list of things that we knew for sure we would be doing, or could easily be done at home. Our list is almost completed. </span></center>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">We had this old hutch sitting in our basement. Once upon a time it belonged to my grandparents and then my parents. It sat in our basement being used as storage. It looked dated and didn't suit our taste, but I felt guilt at even the thought of painting it. That changed after I came across a beautiful post at <a href="http://houseofjoyfulnoise.com/big-furniture-refinish-a-work-of-heart/" target="_blank">House of Joyful Noise</a>. Read it...but get tissues first. Trust me. </span></center>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">We were moving into a larger home where I would have my own craft room. With a little paint, I knew this hutch would look so pretty in there.</span></center>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I used Annie Sloan chalk paint in Old White. I LOVE this chalk paint because you don't need to sand or prime the surface first. I finished it off with a coat of Annie Sloan soft wax. This step makes a huge difference in the feel of the piece when your done. </span></center>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Just a few months ago we moved into our new home. It's been fun putting each room together. It's slowly getting there. Slowly, but that's okay. Today I'm sharing some of my favorite parts of the little guy's room.</span></center>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large; text-align: -webkit-center;"> This airplane canvas idea came from <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/67342956901844655/" target="_blank">this pin</a> I found. The best part was that we all contributed in making it. The kids painted the 3 canvases with sponge brushes and a tube of blue paint, the hubs made the paper airplane, and I put it all together.</span><br />

<center>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Remember when you were a kid and made a "mailbox" that sat on your desk to collect Valentines? Those were so much fun to make! Well, this is the first year my little girl got to make one...yay! At her last school they just put the Valentines in a plain white bag. So this year we were excited to finally get to be a little creative.</span></center>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">We used a cardboard gift box for the bottom, and I cut up a thick cardboard box to make the roof. She did the decorating and I did the hot gluing for her.</span></center>

<center>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">We had four "polar vortex" days off school in January. </span></center>
<center>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">We used that time to hide inside and create pretty things.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">These hanging hearts look so pretty hanging in the sunlit window.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">They make great Valentine gifts, too.</span></center>
<center>

</center>
<center>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Here's what we used:</span></center>
<center>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">~clear contact paper</span></center>
<center>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">~glitter</span></center>
<center>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">~little hearts (punched from paper, confetti, whatever you have on hand)</span></center>
<center>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">~fishing line, yarn, or ribbon for hanging</span></center>
<center>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<center>
</center>
<center>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I tried using a heart shaped paper punch (Martha Stewart punch) on tissue paper. <i>So</i> did not work, and the tissue paper just ripped. Instead, I hand cut a few tissue paper hearts to add to the mix. We mostly used ones punched from cardstock. </span></center>
<center>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">We started by taping the contact paper to the table with the sticky side up.</span></center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
</center>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJAvH3I1PmYKzpWbUBG8Wj_R_8lw0MJDOCs3njBRzPh8CRS9YfZ2Rz480eY3Yi666BaD6uTGWOkSGX9IMyTQaIXfOBuFJ_yZyIIQuDo-6mnDX8T6ieMHwoObjc7dQpVvb_Unr0JxVas7Q/s1600/IMG_7145.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJAvH3I1PmYKzpWbUBG8Wj_R_8lw0MJDOCs3njBRzPh8CRS9YfZ2Rz480eY3Yi666BaD6uTGWOkSGX9IMyTQaIXfOBuFJ_yZyIIQuDo-6mnDX8T6ieMHwoObjc7dQpVvb_Unr0JxVas7Q/s1600/IMG_7145.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">They dropped the hearts and glitter on the contact paper. This is the fun part :) </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNgtDy5SlCvujmjLYBcn_p7inzpxcuqHy7AKNqv0BLxt3zZx2A6o3ByiZSBRUX_Ch3LXlNgzJB7-T4Ipqzg8cqQ0MpVWejhn-IHGdfnGqZCEbUM1UVyK5jz0hR1iYOHW5uHN2rti3o_y8/s1600/IMG_7147.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNgtDy5SlCvujmjLYBcn_p7inzpxcuqHy7AKNqv0BLxt3zZx2A6o3ByiZSBRUX_Ch3LXlNgzJB7-T4Ipqzg8cqQ0MpVWejhn-IHGdfnGqZCEbUM1UVyK5jz0hR1iYOHW5uHN2rti3o_y8/s1600/IMG_7147.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">When they were done, I put another sheet of contact paper on top to "seal" their arrangement. Then I cut hearts from it, punched a hole in the top of each heart, and added something to hang it with.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">If you are going to hang them in a window it looks best with fishing line. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I think we've made about 10 of these. They are so easy and pretty :)</span></div>

<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">i am always fighting the paper clutter around here. school papers come home everyday, and now i have two wee ones bringing home precious hand written work. i needed a quick and easy way to store the "keepers". </span></center>

<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">i had this wood file cabinet that my parents had gifted me a long time ago. i once used it to file important documents, but now have another system for those papers, so the cabinet was sitting all lonely in the basement.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">i used a little gray paint to give it a fresh new life. (i'm not telling my dad...he has this thing against painting wood furniture.) i tried to sand it a bit before painting, but i wasn't too concerned about it (mostly because i was in a hurry :). </span></center>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">thunderstorms can be scary for the wee ones. </span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">i'm sure some kiddos aren't bothered by them, but mine sure don't like them. </span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">the minute they hear thunder they look at me to reassure them that it's okay. when those whopper storms come through they hold on to flashlights like security blankets.</span></center>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">we've had a lot of storms roll through lately. a couple days ago our power went out for a bit. the littles were super anxious. </span></center>
