Each year I put together a scavenger hunt for the boys on my first work day back to school before the boys go back to their babysitter or school. We usually have someone come to our house on these days and it is always a little difficult for the boys after we have been together all summer. For memories sake here are the clues and prizes.
Dear Jack, Grant, and Will
What a fun summer it has been! We have done a lot of great things but most importantly we have been together! I have had so much fun with you every day playing, going to the zoo, pools, Destin, VBS, playing on the slide, beating Jack one time at Wii baseball and everything else. I will miss you today but know you are having a blast with Hannah. I am so, so, so lucky to be your mom and can't wait to see you when I get home.
Love you so much!
Mom
PS - Will only has a few prizes for this years scavenger hunt. Please share with him if you can. Be nice to each other also.
Love You!
