Summer Bucket List

Today is the last day of May, which means that it's almost June!  And even though summer doesn't officially start until the 20th, it is sure in full swing around here.  There's just something about summer that makes me want to get stuff done!  Every summer, I make a list of things that I would like to accomplish.  Most of the time, I get them done.  But there are a few things that linger from year, to year, to year.  Please tell me I am not the only one:)

This year, I am aiming high to get all of these things done before summer is over.  After all, Fall is always so busy for everyone.  Then before you know it, it's Christmas and that means there is no time to think about anything but the hustle and bustle of the holidays.  

That being said, it's time to get started!

I think this is a great start to my summer bucket list.  Speaking of buckets...

Looks like someone else is ready for summer!  Ever seen so much cuteness in a bucket?!
