Cameron... my list maker



I am a list maker, but mine are never this neat! So yesterday was Sunday, and with setting the clocks back we had an extra hour, and we thankfully had nothing planned for the day except church. So Justin and I took an hour in the morning to hang out and talk about the day and write down some things that we needed/wanted to take care of (rake leaves, clean out gutters, groceries, kill spiders, etc). And Cameron noticed us making our lists so he decided to make his own lists. The first is his grocery list.
1. garlic toast
2. beans
3. whip cream
4. Orange Juice
5. Lemonade
6. ice cream
7. chicken
8. honey mustard
9. turkey
10. cheese
11. oatmeal
12. cream of wheat
13. strawberries
14. potato chips
15. crackers
16. organic cookies

The second list is the daily TO DO list. (It's gonna be a busy day!!!!!)
1. play basketball
2. go on a bike ride
3. play video game
4. wrestle
5. go to play ground
6. color
7. go to shoe store
8. play bocce ball
9. do puzzle
10. sew my costume
11. go on trampoline
12. play with bat mans
13. run around the neighborhood
14. clean house
15. do writing workshop
16. nap time
17. go to Barnes and Noble
18. play in costume
19. go to the zoo

So it was quite a day. We declared it no computer day before we got out of bed, which was really nice for everyone! We did clean the gutters and rake the yard. Justin even took all three kids up on the roof with him. They loved it (I prayed hard). Justin and the boys took a bike ride, wrestled and colored. Cameron and Miah did a puzzle, I cleaned the house alittle, and we all missed the nap time. Justin and Jalen played Bocce Ball, Cameron and I went grocery shopping (with my list, although he is quite persuasive and we got a few things off his list too.) The day ended well, and all 5 of us were in bed by 8:30pm. Now that would be crazy, but hey, with daylight savings time it was like 9:30pm, and we wanted to start the week off rested and energized! Fun, Fun weekend!
