Fall Bucket List

I am late to the game but here is our Fall Bucket list!    

//Paint pumpkins//

We did this last weekend and it was a blast. Audrey got more on her than the pumpkin and I have 2 more left over so I think we may do this again.

//Make a pumpkin dessert//

I already have a dessert in mind to make and my mouth waters everytime I think about it

//Pumpkin patch//

because obviously

//Make smores//

We do not have a firepit anymore or a gas grill but if there is a will there is a way

//Make an apple crisp/pie//

I have not perfected an apple crisp recipe but keep trying every year

//Goulash/ Trick or Treating//

We live in a neighborhood right now so it's the perfect time to actually go trick or treating

//Fall trail mix//

I look forward to this every year

//Halloween crafts//

Really hope to do crafts at least every weekend

//Halloween cookies//

I can not wait to have Grady help me in the kitchen with cookie

//Watch a Halloween movie//

Don't have a Halloween movie plan but I think this would be a lot of fun with Grady

//Make 2 kinds of Chili//

Can't wait to make beef and chicken chili this year with some yummy cornbread

//Have soup once a week//

This will make Chad very happy!

//Fall festival//

I really hope to find a fall festival in our area and try it out

//Go on a hike//

This might be a difficult one to do with kids but I have been dying to go hiking on turkey mountain in Tulsa

//Go to a Football game//

Would love to take Grady to a college football game but we might just be doing a high school or younger game

//Go to the dog park//

We have been slacking parenting on doggie and really need to make him feel special as well

Summer Recap

Bucket lists in our family are essential. Every season I try to make a “Bucket List” of activities to ensure that we don’t just stay at home looking at each other wondering what we are going to do during the weekends. This Summer was crazy busy in our household and Chad and I really tried hard to still have fun while being completely overwhelmed and stressed.

Grady spent the night a few times with Grandparents. We are so fortunate to have family that live close and have the opportunity to have sleepovers. There are horses next to my parents house and Grady LOVES going to feeding the horses and since it is free, we don’t mind it either

Tulsa Children’s Museum – It was our first time trying out the Children’s museum. It was a lot smaller than I was expecting but was a great place to go when it is a super hot Summer day. Grady’s favorite part was the slide of course. Audrey’s favorite was the mirror in the baby section.

We also started having movie nights which I don’t know who looks more forward to them Chad or Grady. We have watched Ferdinand, CoCo, and Spirit the movie.

We went to the Kiddie Park which is an amusement park for toddlers. They have a ton of rides and the kids absolutely love going. We only made it once this year, we planned on going a few times but heard of a hand, foot, mouth breakout and decided to stay far away as possible.

We took Grady to his first Baseball game and we haven’t stopped hearing about baseball since. It was the highlight of his summer and I cannot wait until T-ball in the spring

We went to a few festivals and a Farmer’s Market which Grady was asleep for half of.

We tried out incredible pizza for their mini golf since it was extremely hot. We invited the cousins and had a blast, can’t wait to go back for some more.

We traveled up to Caney, KS and went to the safari. This was the highlight of Chad’s summer. He has always wanted to witness a bear waving at him and he finally got the chance. Pretty sure I saw a little happy tear streaming down his face.

We made some homemade popsicles and as soon as Audrey had a bite it was game over. I’m sure it felt good on her gums.

The only thing we didn’t conquer was the aquarium. I was really trying to fit this in but it just didn’t work out. Maybe we will try to go in the Fall.

We still have not completed or started for that matter our Fall bucket list but will hopefully be sharing it soon.
