Checkin' Things Off...

Over the last few weeks I've found myself doing things I've really wanted to do, but just couldn't get myself to do them. I blame these new activities on my Fall Bucket List and all the fabulous boxes I'm checking off one by one.

The first one was easy: Go to a Football Game...
My Dear Hubby and I like to plan our date nights around these. Dinner and a game...my favorite!

Another one, Drink a Pumpkin Spice Latte, was actually done in two phases. The first was a suprise left on my desk one Friday morning from a fellow teacher...
The Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Signature Iced Latte from Dunkin Donuts ranks right on up there with a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte. I did have one of those a week later. My son attended a birthday party, and I desperately needed to get some school work done. So where did I go park myself? You guessed it...
...at a small corner cafe table at Starbucks. Checked that one off the list...twice, AND got some schoolwork finished.

And then there's the Start a Fire in the Fire Pit

Don't laugh. I know it's been ninety degree weather, but we cleaned up the porch and patio this last week. Everything looks so nice. I even bought two orange mums for my big planters. Everything was centered around the fire pit so I really had no choice but to try it out....
And did I mention we checked off one more box, Roasting Marshamallows on the Fire Pit? Perfect timing, too. My kids were having a play date with some of their friends and they enjoyed it as much as I did...
 Yes, he really was sweating, but those s'mores and toasted marshmallows were a big, BIG hit! 
I may have eaten one or two...ok, so it was more like three. And then I fixed one later just for fun.

When I first wrote the bucket list it was really on a whim. But it's been exciting to share new experiences with my children that I had when I was a kid. Those are some of the best memories.

Now we're making new ones....one box at a time!

Simply Checkin' Things Off,
