100 things to do this summer

While the boys are camping for TEN GLORIOUS DAYS I will have to stay busy.  It freaks me out a little to be on my own for all day for that many days.  Sure, The Girl will be around - but only in the evenings.  By then I plan to be worn out, ready to go eat, because I am NOT cooking.  So here are my ideas for ways to stay busy and get some stuff done this summer:

Today is the last day of school for them and I couldn't be happier about that.  I always feel like I need the break as much as they do.  The rest of the week is busy, but doesn't include getting up early to make lunches and catch the bus.  And I can start on a few projects before they go to camp.
