A beautiful summertime weekend

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, My bucket list, friends! Lately, I have been busy enjoying the summertime, so I have gotten behind on blog posts. However, I have some fun things to blog about. In this post, I will write about a wonderful sleepover that I had with my friend. We did some summer camp like activates during our sleepover, including crafts and swimming! I’m excited to tell you about it, so let’s get to it!   

Friday June 9th – I had this day off, and I was very excited for this day because I was going to have a sleepover with my friend. We met at Starbucks. I got an iced coffee. Our first activity of the day was going to Walmart. I got some really great items, including Barbie pets blind bags, bath bombs, 4th of July items, and a bag of beads. As I mentioned above, one of the biggest highlights of our sleepover besides getting to spend time together was going swimming. Swimming is something that I do not get to  do as often as I would like to. I had a great time swimming. We also went in the hot tub that evening. Also, as mentioned above, we did some craft projects. I brought over a summer craft kit that had a bunch of different projects in it. We each choose one of the projects to make. I made a beach house and my friend made a turtle. We used the beads that I got from Walmart to make bracelets. We also watched a series on Netflix and I’m happy to say that we were able to finish it before I had to go to work the next day but I’m getting ahead of my self so let’s go to Saturday. 

Saturday, June 10th – On this day, I worked the closing shift. Since I was not working until the afternoon, I had some time to hang with my friend before I needed to go to work. We went on a walk to a park that I had never been to before. I enjoy exploring new  parks, so this was a great way to start the day. Before I went to work, I got an iced coffee at Starbucks. It was a simple but great day.

Sunday, June 11th –  I also had this day off. I did not do a lot on this day, but I did go to Starbucks and Safeway. At Safeway, I got some Kinder eggs and a cupcake that had some plastic decorations on top. I also went for a walk in the park at the park. I went up on the playground. It was a pretty good weekend!

My amazing first weekend of summer 2023!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I’m very happy to say that my summer has gotten off to a great start. The first weekend of summer was pretty exciting for me. I went thrift shopping, went shopping at a toy store, and went to one of my favorite local events. I’m excited to tell you more about it, so let’s get to it!

Friday June 2nd – On this day, I worked the opening shift. I started my day by going to the coffee shop. After getting coffee, I walked to my favorite local thrift store. I have been going to this thrift store a lot lately. Even though I go there often, I usually find some great items, and this shopping trip was no different. I got some fun items during this thrift trip including a Barbie doll, a book about cats, a bag of beads, sunglasses, and a stamp and ink set. I also got some stickers and some scrap book paper. After my thrift shopping fun, I went to work, and I had a good day working at the plant store. When my shift was over, I went to the candy store where I got a Pez dispenser and some candy. At home that evening, I did a painting art kit where I painted a ceramic frog. I really like the way the frog looked when I was done painting it. This day was a really good start to my weekend.

Saturday, June 3rd – I worked the opening shift again this day. Before work, I went to Starbucks, and I got an iced coffee before going to open the store. After my shift, I walked to the toy store. I was happy to see a sale table outside of the store. I chose two items from the sale table. One was a fuzzy slap bracelet, and the other one was a hair scrunchie. Inside of the store I got some more items. The items I got were a set of Jacks that used toy frogs instead of jacks, some fuzzy car stickers, and a package of capsules that become foam sea animals when you put them in water. After shopping at the toy store, my mom and I went on a walk at the park. It was a warm day, so after our walk, we went to Starbucks again to get some cold drinks. I had a really great Saturday!

Sunday, June 4th – I had the day off, so I started off my day by getting coffee and going to church. I enjoyed church, but as soon as it was over, I was ready to leave because just a short walk away, one of my favorite local yearly events was happening. For the past few years, I’ve been helping to sell desserts and drinks at the Fireman’s BBQ. The purpose of the event is to raise money for the volunteer fire department. One thing that I really look forward to at this event is the raffle. Last year, I won an American Girl doll, and I was hoping to do the same this year. I’m happy to say that I was successful. However, since the weather was really nice this year, there seemed to be a lot more people there than there was the year before. I knew it was going to be harder to win, but I did. I also won a color by number art kit. That evening, I went on a walk to see my favorite ponies. This weekend was a wonderful one.
