Now that summer is officially over it is time to update you on my summer list. It is actually quite sad considering I basically completed nothing on this list. My summer went by so unbelievably fast, I just can't believe that September is already pretty much over! Will life ever slow down? In my dreams maybe.
So here is what it looks like:
~ Head to the Chicago area to celebrate our 1st anniversary!! (Hhhheelllllooooo Ikea!!!!!):Since our house sold so fast we decided to not go into Chicago this summer. We ended up just having a lovely dinner together though! We did, however, go to Chicago about 2 weeks ago to attend a concert that my husband so wonderfully got us tickets for as an anniversary gift!
~ Attend a Brewer's game & tailgate (it's a summer must in WI):We did get to a game with a group of friends. It was (as always) so much fun!! Hopefully next year we will get to more than one game like we usually do!
~ Go
on a winery tour. Earlier this year we attended a benefit for an
adorable little baby boy and ended up winning a winery tour in a raffle!
I'm excited to go because I have never been to a winery!: We never did get around to enjoying a winery tour, nor do I see it happening at all this year. Unfortunately there are just not enough days in a month to be able to do everything on our schedules! It doesn't help that a certain someone works every other weekend.
~ Visit the Milwaukee Zoo with my boys: This is yet another thing we didn't get to do and probably the one event I am the most disappointed about. Next summer there WILL be a trip to the zoo. And both boys will be old enough to enjoy it.
~ Go golfing for the first time with the Hubby
I did get to {kinda} go golfing. Since it was my first time ever swinging a club we decided to just go to the driving range. It was fun and I foresee lots of golfing trips together next summer!
~ Paint our front door turquoise!!!!! Didn't happen and won't happen until the spring. Who knows, I may decide on a different color or to not do it at all. Sometimes waiting a little longer on certain things is for the best.
~ Start running and do a 5K: While I never did get to start running, I am doing a 5K this weekend with a wonderful group of girls. I, however, will be walking and having the time of my life doing the Color Run!!
How was your summer? Accomplish everything you wanted to get done?
We were so super busy this last week and it was so much fun!!! It's amazing how fast summer has been going. I'm in denial that we are already mid-way through August and we still have a lot that we wanted to do!!
This past week/weekend we got some paint for the boys rooms & our living room. Hopefully I will get some home posts up starting this fall :). I also got to check something off my Summer List! Golfing with my husband. Even though we didn't actually golf a course it was still so much fun. We decided that starting me on a driving range would probably be a better idea. I can't wait until next summer though so we can go more & I can keep learning how to play!
We went blueberry picking in the area as well. I never knew there was a place anywhere in WI that you could blueberry pick so when I found this one I was so excited!! This is one thing that will always stay on our summer to do list. It is so much easier to pick blueberry then strawberries or even raspberries. Plus, they last longer in the refrigerator then strawberries. They are honestly the best blueberries I have ever had. If you have a chance to pick, I highly suggest doing it!!!
We also had a birthday party, I got my hair did, and my husband and I got some adult time. He had his Fantasy Football draft this last weekend and I surprised him and got a babysitter for the kiddos so could join him after they finished drafting!! The boys and I also managed to fit in shopping and checked out a butterfly garden (lame) and a children's farm (cute!). It was gorgeous this weekend and we definitely packed in the fun!!!!
I hope you all enjoyed your weekends!! I have some awesome stuff in the works that you will definitely want to check out!!!
Happy Monday!
Now that our summer is half over {sad} I decided it was time for a summer list update!!
~ Head to the Chicago area to celebrate our 1st anniversary!! (Hhhheelllllooooo Ikea!!!!!): Due to our house selling so fast we had actually decided to not go to Chicago for our anniversary. We did make a day trip just to go to Ikea (loved it) though!!
~ Attend a Brewer's game & tailgate (it's a summer must in WI): This weekend we went with a group of friends to a Brewer game. It was sooo much fun! I have been to a lot of games but these were by far the best seats I have ever had. We sat 8 rows up from the team dugout. Plus they kicked butt ;)
