What Happened to Summer?

Seriously.  It's back-to-school time already.  What happened to all my epic summer vacation plans????

Oh, I know.

They went here:

And here:

Not that I'm complaining because I adore my little girl, and I adore our little house.

But in June, I made this list.  And here's what actually happened.

1.) One picnic a week
2.) Go berry picking
3.) Make at least three different flavors of ice cream. (Close though.  I made two.)  
4.) Make a pie
5.) Take Madeline swimming for the first time.  Hooray!  Took her swimming twice!  
6.) Build a sandcastle
7.) Read a non-work related book  (They all tied into work somehow.)  
8.) See a concert
9.) Buy a house:  Hooray!  Major success!  
10.) De clutter our current house:  Hooray!  
11.) Frequent a farmers' market

27.) Finish at least one of the arts and crafts projects that I've started:  Hooray!  
28.) Lose five pounds:  Does it count if I lost more than this, gained it back, and then went down again?  
29.) Give Madeline her first taste of ice cream:  Hooray!  
30.) Get a pedicure (Damn my feet are gross!) 
31.) Bring Madeline to a parade:  Hooray!
