If you haven't noticed, we are committed to finishing this bucket list! We may not finish before I go to college... but it will be done before Ally and Emma start school. I PROMISE.
There were a couple bucket list things that I personally wanted on the list. They were the messy things like paint twister and a water balloon fight with pudding or jello. So, we dedicated a Saturday evening to completing all the messy stuff on the list!
First off, we tried making pudding balloons because we ran out of time for jello to set... Whoops!
It started off... not so great. We didn't have enough milk. I ended up substituting with water but it must have been a sign that this wasn't really gonna work out well.
We didn't really consider the problem of pudding pressure when we added this idea to the list. In case you don't know, it's REALLY HARD to get pudding into balloons!
Unless you have a pudding faucet, it's just never gonna happen.
We didn't want to... but we had to abandon the idea of pudding balloons. We did end up pushing as much pudding as possible into a balloon, then filling the rest up with water.
It must count as something, right?
After that disappointment, we got to move on to something that had a much happier ending!
PAINT TWISTER!
It's safe to say this was the bucket list item I was the most excited about crossing off.
Landon agreed to be our spinner and the game began!
We had such an awesome time! Definitely a highlight of the summer.
I loooooved it!
After getting all paint-y, we figured it was the perfect opportunity to complete #32 - body painting!
We didn't have a large canvas... But we did have some long strips of paper from IKEA.
We all decided painting with our faces would be the best course of action.
Look at that! I think it could totally fit in a museum.
I mean, have you seen some of those "modern art" pieces?
I made "pieces" like that when I was 3.
We'd been significantly covered in paint, so it was time to clean off.
With semi-pudding balloons!
Generously, we agreed to let Jackson and Isaac pummel us with the balloons.
They have some good arms! Not great aim... we told them NOT to hit our heads - they did anyway.
Emma got the last balloon to throw at the kids! I'd be scared to be on the receiving end of that.
Overall, we had a great time finishing all the messy stuff! Seriously, one of the best days yet.
We rinsed off (in the cold water!) and were done for the day!
We've officially completed 13 out of 39 bucket list things.
That means we have 26 left to go!
Don't forget to follow our progress - Bucket List 2013!
I can't believe I was so caught up in picking weeds while you were doing all this. Glad you took pictures. How fun! Mom
