..It's Super & Fabulous & Messy all rolled into One!

HaPpY TuEsDaY...

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but..

It is Looking a little gloomy outside.

I miss the sun.

The warmth, the light, the happiness.

 The sun has a way of just making people feel better!

On these gloomy days, I can't help but eat and veg out.

Watching a few of my favorite shows, scoping out Pinterest, & checking on facebook.

I start dreaming about Spring & things I want to accomplish.

My oldest son will be 17 years old & right now he really wants nothing to do with me.

However,

I still want to cherish these last few years of "home togetherness"

and 

tackle my

 "Spring Family Fun List..On a budget!"

and

this weather

is putting a big damper on it.

So, I would hope Spring would show up soon.

 Who is with me?

Here is my Spring Bucket List...
Hope you can get some ideas & feel free to share your Bucket list items with all of us!

#1. Fishing in the dark: 

"you & me go fishing in the dark!"

We have a little trout fishing boat & usually there is not room for me. 

(insert sad face here)

The boat is packed with boys & gear!

I usually never put up much of a fight..

However,

this Spring

Little Collette & I are going to squeeze are little bums in

and have a night

Fishing in the dark!

#2. Kayaking

I guess you could say I'm not the most coordinated women in the planet.

Trying to figure out ways to paddle a Kayak gets me a little frustrated.

However,

If I can pass Nursing School 

(inserting tubes into small areas)

I know that I can figure Kayaking out.

I have always wanted to Kayak into uncharted territory with the family in tow!

 #3. Golfing with My Main Man...Jacob

As I mentioned before, "dear son" is turning 17 and he has a passion for everything golf.

Guess you could say, it runs in the family.

Since raising kids, you could say I kind of gave up on the sport.

However,

this year I want to give golfing a try again!

My son has a competitive spirit, as do I, so I'm up for the challenge

#4.  Giving Hiking/ Rock Climbing a Try.

This past Winter, "dear hubby" and I were in Arizona for work. 

He encouraged me to give Mountain Climbing a try.

With hesitation, I strapped on the "tenner shoes" and started hiking.

I thought we were all the way up when I look around the corner to find it wasn't even half done.

My anxiety started to play tricks on me and I thought I couldn't complete it.

However,

"dear hubby" help me through my fears and we made it up together.

  FYI...even though I'm smiling, I was so out of breath & my legs were shaking like jello.

I started to think, what happens if I'm up here and I have to go to the bathroom?

There are no porta potties? 

I'm sorry TMI...LOL :)

 Last, But not Least

#5. Dance in the Rain with Collette

It's so free & exhilerating.

Like you are a kid again.

There's not a care in the world & the kids just can't believe you are okay with it.

...Just try it, trust me~

Splash in the puddles & twirl around..You won't regret it!

Well maybe when it's time to go inside & your all wet and muddy and the kids track it all in...

In all reality...

It's super & fabulous & messy all rolled into one.

     

Isn't that kind of like Life...

Super & Fabulous & messy...

all rolled into one!

Take Care...& Happy Spring!!
