I'll be back soon

It has been ages since my last blog. I have so much to share with you. We've had trips to River Kwai, Singapore, Malaysia, a hospital stay while on holiday, and now I am currently on a girls trip in Europe for the next 11 days. ( Yes,a trip without my husband or boys. This is the first trip I have taken alone in over 10 years.) I will be sharing everything with you when I get back from Europe and have a computer to sit at. I also need to update you on my job change and what our upcoming school year has in store for the boys.

The summer is already flying by. So, I am hoping I can actually tackle some of our Summer Bucket List and my goal list for myself ( I still have to blog about that!) Once I get back I will be blogging like crazy to catch you all up!  Thanks for following along. 

Summer Bucket List-Kid Edition

We are celebrating our last official day of school today.  So, now I can start thinking about our summer plans. We have a great summer in store, but there will always be a day where the kids say they are bored and I want to be prepared. Most of the boy's friends are going back the the States or travelling for the summer, so I need to keep these kiddos busy.  We will be traveling for 3 weeks out of the summer, so that leaves us about 30 days to plan activities for. International schools have a short 2 month summer break. Here is our list of what we hope to accomplish this summer. I also have and adult version for all the fun things I would like to do.

1. Visit the library a couple times a week

3. Spend the day at a water park
4. One on one date with each of the boys
