i love this list. love it.
ReplyDeleteI have a question about one of these:
ReplyDelete- Building/Lighting fires
Is this only referring to campires, or are you giving me authorization for any additional fire building/lighting activities I might want to pursue?
good observations.
ReplyDeleteSam: I will authorize further pyrotic (?!) activities as long as you can remember the following: stop, drop, and roll.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm intrigued by these "campires." Have you been bitten by one? And what has been the effect---to turn you into a s'more?
Marilyn: Fortunately, since we generally avoid camping at night, we've never had a run-in with the tent-stalking undead. :)
ReplyDeleteI need to make like this. maybe I should just copy yours. it's too fabulous. I know we could come up with some great silly walks.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, thank you for your comments on my etsy blogs. It is so nice to have support from friends. Doing this is a tad bit intimidating it you know what I mean!
I LOVE this list. It's perfect and adorable.
ReplyDeleteVery sweet.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to steal this idea if you don't mind. I keep coming up with duties for Kris's list. You're just too brilliant. Now I just need to carry around pen & paper so when I think of funny brilliant things I can write them down instead of just immediately forgetting them as USUAL.
