I know I have been seeing these around the blog-o-sphere in many different forms. We did one last year on a foam shaped bucket. This year, we used an actual bucket…
…and some clothes pins.
I picked up a 36-pack of clothespins for just a buck at the dollar store and rounded up some sharpies from around our house. Then we sat down as a family for Family Home Evening, and decided what fun things we wanted to do this summer while I wrote them down on the pins. The boys really wanted to help too. So we let them.
Uhhh…we still don’t know what Reid wrote but he felt so proud of his contribution, so we are keeping his pins as “wild cards.” 🙂
We were careful to not write down too many things so we can still maintain a relaxing summer attitude. This list serves mostly as a reminder to do the things we love before summer slips through our fingers; as it always seems to do.
We have already been chipping away at our list and hope to have our bucket filled with all our summer fun before school starts.
Hope you’re enjoying your summer too!
I actually have some fun things to blog this week, so I’ll see you soon! 🙂
That's a lovely idea! Summer Fun! I must remember that when Summer comes back to us! We usually just write a list..
I love this idea! What a fun family tradition to try as our kids get older 🙂
love your version of the bucket list! some of them, while beautiful, have seemed overly girlish to me… and as a mama of 2boys.. not so much my taste! thanks for sharing! 🙂
I should do this with my craft projects! ha! 🙂

That's such a good idea, Delia! I was just thinking about you… I was on Pinterest a little while ago and you can see where people are pinning things from. I was pleasantly surprised to see so many from your site! You do great work and it's so fun to read about the stuff you're doing and making.
great idea. x
Oh, this is very cool idea!
love this!!!!
I love this! I am already thinking summer and I am going to feature this on my blog!
I'm curious about the bucket you used…I would like to use this format for a bucket list this summer as one of my campfire programs. Is this one of the heavier duty buckets or does a $1 bucket from Target stand up to the weight of the clothes pins?
Thanks so much!
LOVE this. I am sharing it on my "BEST OF" page on our blog. http://www.smallandsimpleblog.com
