We finished our Bored List a while ago but I'm of course only now posting it/printing it out for the kids. These are our summer goals. All of the kids contributed and now each one has a copy to check off. Their's are cuter than this. If we accomplish the entire list we get to go out for a fun night after school starts up again. Some are easy. Some are hard. Some are free and some aren't. Some are completely ridiculous. I don't judge. It's their list. The good news is that when my kids say,"I'm bored!" I know where they can look for ideas: (I'll BOLD the ones we've already checked off)

awesome! We're going to make our list tomorrow.
I love it.
I am exhausted just reading it! Amazing...it's on my list of to-do's tomorrow. Thanks!
Best ones:
87. Don't kill dad. 88. Cure some cancer.
Pretty much incredible. That's all.
"talk to a boy on the phone" ... ALWAYS welcome to call us and talk to Ammon. May not understand everything that he says, but it would be fun! (He reminds me of Camryn right now when she would say, "Dowa Open!" aka/ Door Open" .. I laugh and think of her every time!)
I personally like #63...
If you can get your kids to do #59 for you, then please send them my way when they're done.
What a great idea - I think I will make mine do the same :-)
I'm bored of the summer bored list. Where did you go to?
The other day my mom told me if I got pregnant, I would have to be shipped off to live with some relative in the east. We decided I'd probably have to live with you. I'm now considering pregnancy.
Your'e a good Mom. You can have my kids.
like the kids you have now or like birth new ones that are yours? I need you to clarify before I comment.
adrienne - do you want me to set you up with some scumbag? means to an end... i'll find a cute one. what colors would you like me to paint the nursery. it's #101 on the bored list.
