Love this list. Can you please make one for fall/winter???? My 9 year old son and I are moving to Vancouver (BC) to take care of my terminally ill mother for an indeterminate amount of time and I would love all the suggestions I can get of things to do with him or suggest for him to do on his own. I'm burnt out and really very tired, and utterly unimaginative at this point. Many thanks! Kelly Hi Julie and others-

We're doing a 'project' a week around here ... my son received a simple chemistry set for Christmas, so that's been one week, and my vast childhood Lego collection is another project ... my mom just gave me a kids' root beer making kit for my birthday, so that's another one the kids are begging to do. It's been fun to make the time for these fun and messy projects that we just don't get to during the school year. Love the list!

Keep adding! I love the "Make an apple pie" - how simple and perfect. I find that in summer, it's too easy to flip on the TV all the time or to fall into ruts. Having a list helps jog us out of a malaise. Good work ladies! These are great ideas! Keep adding! I love the “Make an apple pie” - how simple and perfect.

My girls add to the list as they think of things they want to do with a more open summer schedule. The people list are those friends that we normally can't see as much during the school year. The to do list is stuff they want to do. My oldest put "make apple pie." My youngest's contribution is for us to join our local classical station's "club." These two lists really help me because now they aren't mentioning the items to me with the expectation that I'm going to remember and make them happen :) We have two headings up on our chalkboard: People To See and Things To Do.

I will add: Sit around talking about whatever comes up; get up early enough to hear the birds start their day; make huge messy breakfasts; check out every Tintin and Calvin & Hobbes the library has, all at once; make jewelry/cookies/flower bouquets/whatever for friends & neighbors and deliver them secretly; set up a mailbox and write notes to each other; make real lemonade; eat a tomato right off the plant.

Now, in addition to going back there to practice their golf swing, they want to practice putting in the living room! Playing frisbee and playing catch (with a softball mitt and a tennis ball) is another one of my favorite activities during the summer months!
