It's autumn once again - my favorite time of the year. It's my daughter's favorite season, too. "Mom," she said. "I have a bucket list of things I'd like to do for fall."
"Okay," I said. "What's on it?"
"Carve a pumpkin, make apple pie, get a fall-scented candle, make a fall drink, make Halloween cupcakes and cookies, pick apples, make caramel apples, go on a hayride, have a Halloween party, and visit a haunted house."
"Hmmm," I said. "That's quite a list."
"Yeah, mom. So you'd better get started. Here's a list of ingredients and things you need to buy." She handed me a sheet of paper.
I looked at it and shook my head. Why do I have this suspicion that her bucket list is really a Mom To-Do list?
You better get started - funny! Have fun with those projects, mom.
ReplyDeleteLet's see. I've done the fall candle, the caramel apples, and have gotten ingredients for the other things. I'm off to a good start. ;)
DeleteIt's is for you. LOL. Get ready.
ReplyDeleteOy! Like I need more things to do!
DeleteHey, just the fact that she's that determined and ready to go? That's super awesome. You've got a go-getter on your hands.
ReplyDeleteShe has all kinds of big ideas!
Deletehaha yep your bucket list now
ReplyDeleteAt least it should be fun!
DeleteOMG, now you're a Cinderella :P
ReplyDeleteHa! Payback!
DeleteHand the list back to her and tell her where she can get the things she wants.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Should I make her walk five miles to the store, too? ;)
DeleteOnly if you feel completely confident that the area is safe. Can she maybe ride a bike to the store? That's good experience if she doesn't have to deal with a lot of traffic. She could use a messenger bag to bring home the goods, except for the pumpkin she wants to carve. That, she can balance on her head.
DeleteI agree with Janie.
ReplyDeleteJanie is one tough mommy!
DeleteAnd my grown-up babies know it. But they also know they have my love no matter what.
DeleteBecause daughters are like that Sherry. Still it will be fun doing it.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
I'm sure we'll have a great time!
DeleteHa! Sounds like you're going to be busy this Halloween!
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed!
DeleteWhoa, that list is long! Autumn is my favorite season, too, so I don't blame her for wanting to take advantage of it while it's still here... :P
ReplyDeleteThose are all fun things to do. I think I'll add apple picking to the list. Which reminds me - I need to see if they have such a thing in Georgia.
DeleteMy Fall Bucket List consists of washing the window fans.
ReplyDeleteThey'll probably not get cleaned, though.
In which case, I'll probably put them up dirty in May.
I think I'll go get a pumpkin pie blizzard, instead.
She's going to keep you busy this fall!
