The Bucket List

This is my online journal of stuff I want to do with my kids before they grow up and leave the house (or get too cool to hang out with mom and dad). If you have a suggestion of something we should try, please email me so I can add it to the list!

  • Start a spring tradition for neighborhood clean up
  • Visit Antelope Island
  • Make at least one homemade Halloween costume
  • Throw a totally kick-ass birthday party
  • Teach the importance of charity
  • Say "I love you" every day (and every night)
  • Go bug hunting
  • Build a snow village
  • Jump in a pile of leaves
  • Play a cool (not mean) practical joke
  • Draw/color/paint
  • Forgive something truly terrible - like spray painting the carpet or knocking a hole in the wall
  • Play pretend in public
  • Use character voices when reading stories
  • Stay up and celebrate New Year's together
  • Teach Charlie to ride a bike
  • Fly kites
  • Eat dinner as a family
  • Write, direct, and produce at least one film, starring the family
  • "Oh The Places You'll Go" book signed by all of Charlie's teachers until he graduates
  • Travel out of the country, at least once
  • Make and display at a new piece of artwork every year
  • Plant a garden
