#85 Make a Fashion Collage

So, this one was actually pretty fun.  We bought three magazines, and went through them all cutting out stuff we liked.  There was only the occasional argument about who got what :).  Gluing it all down was pretty tricky, but they turned out pretty awesome if I do say so myself.  Steph's was way more fashion stuff than mine, but that only makes sense.  We asked a bunch of people if they could guess who's was who's, and nobody guessed wrong (not even our dad).  So I guess that means that they relfect our personalities, and thats exactly what we were going for!

#47 Chick Flick Marathon

You'd be surprised at how hard it was for us to find time to sit down and watch more than 2 movies in a row.  We did end up taking a bit of a break in between 2 of them, but we watched them all in the same day so I think that counts! We watched The Vow, One for the Money, and This Means War.  They were all really good, and it was a nice break from all the crazyness.

#30 Go Swimming at Night

For the longest time I was wondering how in the world we were going to accomplish this one, but luckily Steph has a friend that has a pool!  We actually had to force him to get in with us, and he ended up in the pool with all his clothes on :).  The pictures are kinda hard to see, but it was fun nonetheless.  We are accomplishing things really fast, and it's hard to keep up!

"Sisters don't need words. They have perfected a language of snarls and smiles and frowns and winks - expressions of shocked surprise and incredulity and disbelief. Sniffs and snorts and gasps and sighs - that can undermine any tale you're telling."

#16 Crayon Melt Canvas

This was something I saw on Pinterest, and thought it looked really fun! We bought an extra large box of crayons (we didn't have any broken up old ones) and went to town.  Steph's is the heart one, and mine is the straight across one.  Steph's was definitly a lot harder to do, but in return it turned out REALLY good!  What we did was hot glue the crayons down, and then melted them with a hair dryer.  It ended up being extremely messy and we got crayon wax all over ourselves.  They are the perfect thing to hang up in our obnoixiously colorful rooms! :)

She is your partner in crime, your midnight companion, someone who knows when you are smiling, even in the dark. She is your teacher, your defense attorney, your personal press agent, even your shrink. Some days, she's the reason you wish you were an only child."

#96 Get Jobs

Summer can't be all fun and games, and we are teenage girls. We need a source of income.  I got a job at a local bank doing filing and scanning and such, and Steph (being the kid lover she is) babysits at least once or twice a week. Its been pretty hectic trying to fit everything in with me working every afternoon, and Steph working randomly throughout the week.  In some way our jobs fit what we want to become. I'm studying in business, and Steph hopes to study in education.  We are both making money, and spending it too!

#97 Play a Board Game

I remember when I was younger I would ALWAYS ask Steph to play a board game with me, but she would never ever say yes.  She would make me play barbies or dress up instead.  So, I put this one on the list for me :).  We actually ended up playing with one of Steph's friends who was a little money crazed ;).  With that he ended up winning, so it all worked out.

#1 Get a Chicken Biscuit at Midnight

I have no idea why but my sister is totally obsessed with honey butter chicken biscuits, and since they are a breakfast food they are not served all day. Somehow she found out that they start serving them at midnight, so we decided to actually go at midnight.  Because of her slight obsession we have actually gone that late many times. Probably more than we needed to. We have discovered that there is actually a decent amount of people at Whataburger at midnight.  I have a feeling this is going to be a new found tradition for my sister and I, and whoever else we make tag along.  Who knew a random item on a menu could give us such happiness.

#24 Make a Music Video

This has got to be our favorite thing we have done so far! We took a saturday and filmed it all at once. One of my good friends is majoring in film so she filmed it all and edited for us! She did an AMAZING job! I'm so glad Steph got her friend to agree to do it with us because they did a wonderful job together. Steph plays the perfect nerd :). This whole project has been an absolute blast, and I can't wait to do more!

#42 Shopping Spree!

When my mom and Steph came up to help me load up and leave from college we decided to get some shopping in.  We shopped for a solid 4 hours, and ended up getting alot of stuff. We set a budget of 200 dollars.  Steph got 3 dresses, 4 shirts, 2 skirts, a pair of shorts, a pair of capris, 1 tank top, 2 pairs of sunglasses, and some make-up all for less than $200. I got 7 shirts, 3 dresses, and a tank top for about the same price. Steph always goes for the bargains, so I wasn't surprised that she ending up buying more things with her money. It was a succesful day, and it was the PERFECT way to relax before finals.

#2 & #53 Trampolines and Bonfires

 

Summer has officially started, and what a better way to kick off this blog than Memorial Day weekend! My sister and I have already accomplished a few things on our list, but this was the perfect first post. Of course my family had a bunch of people over for dinner, so we decided it would be a perfect time for a bonfire.

 It was actually a pretty cool night so it worked out perfectly. Steph burnt her share of marshmallows, while I toasted my perfectly :) There was a TON of people over, and it ended up being a lot of fun!

Since we were in such an outdoorsy mood we decided to tackle another thing on our list. Me, Steph, and a few of her friends decided to all sleep on the trampoline. It seemed like a lot better idea than it actually was. First of all, it got much colder than we thought. Second, we all ended up all super squished together in the center. We did make it through most of the night, but regretted it in the morning. Nonetheless it was a perfect start to our summer vacation! :)

Love,

The Ultimate Summer Bucket List

Hey Everybody!

So over the past year my sister and I have gotten extremely close, and now we are basically best friends. There was a time when we both could NOT stand each other. We would always be arguing about something or other, getting on each others nerves. When I went off to college everything changed, and I'm glad it did. With our school years coming to a close we formulated a plan.  As we say we have some "making up to do", and we have the whole summer to do so. Instead of sitting around and asking each other "I'm bored, what do you want to do?", we made a list. The 1 to 100 for the ultimate summer. We may not accomplish everything on it, but we will have fun trying. We're going to make it one crazy colorful summer.  It will truly be a summer to remember.
