So this summer, I'm taking evasive action.
Each week I came up with a theme. Each theme has a craft, an activity, an outing, a recipe and a service project. We're not super-rigid-schedule-y about it; if I get to them all, great. If not, whatever. But there will be no boredoms this summer.
I will post the previous week's activities every Monday.
Feel free to steal, improve upon, elaborate or ignore.

I don't know what I love more, the concept or the button. Ooo...purrrdy button...
I'm such a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants'er that I can hardly wrap my head around this concept of planning to prevent boredom but I just may be one of the moms eagerly awaiting each weeks' post so I can brazenly steal your ideas.
You clever thing, you.
You had me at "Sur..." :)
I'm ready for school to be done, but I'm stressed about entertaining all summer.
I totally agree with your idea. After 1 week of no school and no plans and a 4 week old newborn on my hands, I quickly realized we just weren't going to make it without a plan. I decided we'll run the place like preschool with a theme, crafts, and as rigid as this may sound, a "curriculum". But, hey, it works.
I'll be checking back to see what awesome ideas you're using 'cause I'm about as creative as a piece of cardboard. Thanks for sharing!
LOL, Kim! It is a very cute button. I know what I will be doing this Summer. School, school, school. I think my kids are liking their latch key status! :)
I am all about this!
I feel for all you ladies with little ones running around...My two girls both have jobs this summer. Have fun!!!
