Top 10 Things to do before Summer Ends
Please check our Oh Amanda for Top 10 Tuesday. Our summer is almost over. Though the heat nor the summer never really appeared here in the Pacific Northwest. Our school starts September 7th so I suppose we have more time than most before it is back to the books. Here is my list of things that I would like to do with the 2 man wrecking crew before the end of the summer.
1. Practice more math, writing, and reading with Chuckles. We have been doing this just not consistently. I want him to be ready to go when school starts. We are talking 10 to 15 minutes a day at the most on the math facts. We did the great read aloud Mr Popper Penguins this summer.
2. I want to Hike. We haven't really done that. Fragrance Lake/Squires Lake seem like possiblities.
3. Have a cook out at the beach. This is on our summer bucket list.
4. Have all the school supplies bought and labeled. I am close on that.
5. Do more Geocaching. This was part of my summer bucket list. I wanted to find 10 caches this summer. I found 6 so far.
6. Bulk cook - cookies, homemade pizza rolls, meatballs, waffle mix.
7. Start our school sleep routine - I feel myself laughing right now. This is a toughie but necessary as my soon to be eighth grader is really going to have a hard time getting up at 6 am.He is sleeping till 9 am.
8. I want to have a marshmallow roast. We haven't had a decent fire in our fire pit this whole summer.
9. Have a movie marathon/movie night.
10. I want to slow down and really savor the last days of summer.

Top 10 Things I keep in my Handy Dandy Notebook
I am joining the OH Amanda Top Ten list linky party. Head over there and check out everyone's different lists.
Here is a breakdown of what I keep in my Handy Dandy Notebook
1. Schedule for the week - appointments, What absolutely must happen each day
2. Grocery lists (Costco, Haggens, Albies, Fred's)
3. Blog ideas
4. Phone Numbers I need to call
5 Inspirational Quotes
6 Books read in 2010 - This list is stapled to the front cover
7. Books to read - I recently started to highlighted yellow. It makes them easier to find.Hey I am a scribbler.
8. Life as Mom Book Club book list is stapled to the back.
9. Rough drafts of notes I have written
10 Travel Ideas/Craft Ideas
Pictured above is my advanced organization system (insert laugh). Until about 2 years ago, I used the scrap paper organization system. It was a FAIL. If you have ever seen my office desk, you would understand why. This keeps my random scrawls in one place. I call it my hand dandy notebook aka my brain. It isn't as advance as those home organizers that various blogs promote. It does get the job done, though. I get these lovely notebooks at back to school time usually for 10 cents to 20 cents a pop. Here is a close up of a page in my notebook. It isn't pretty but functional.
