I got my summer organized...finally!

Okay, so usually I have it all planned out months in advance (right, Brooke?), but we've been so busy...I know, no excuse, but now I'm organized and I love it! It's the place I like to be w/ my days of summer w/ kids. By organized I mean that I have a plan for the weeks ahead...but not set in stone, just ready for what's approaching. Here's my plan...please add to it if you have a suggestion or something you do that's fun. I would love to hear from all my great mom friends! Am I missing anything?
**Note: unstructured play is hugely important to me b/c it's something I have to let happen. I've gotten so much better at it since having two of these little people, but w/ just one I wanted to teach, teach, teach and play, play, play. Now I realize I still am teaching and they are learning, even when they're playing alone (and I'm getting something done!)! Phew!!

*Fun outings (this is the only thing that's been planned for a while)
*library times/ reading club dates down
*work out schedule for me that fits both kids
*errand time (thanks, mom)
*play date days set (love this one!)
*swim lessons, camps & classes set (Fun!)
*crafts & cooking- semi-planned (I decided I needed to plan this weekly instead of months ahead...that's just being over the top, don't you think?!)
*Holt's Kinder readiness (this just means that I need to make sure he practices doing things he needs for kinder...from phonics to tying his shoes)
*physical activities (my goal is to introduce a new physical game each week...you know the old classics like red light, green light or sharks & minnows?)
