Summer Fun!!!

So I have had this idea percolating in my head for about a month now. Fluffy just finished preschool last week and Nay Nay will be out for the summer a week from Friday. So normally we only have 3-6 week summers because we are on year round school. However next year we are switching to traditional so we have a whole summer. For those of you unfamiliar with year round you do 45 school days on and 15 school days off. So I now have to entertain a 7, 5 and almost 3 year old through the end of August. Whats a mother to do??

I have mentioned that I am a clutter person. I passed that trait on to my daughters not so cool. So here is the deal I am creating a summer fun jar. In order to pick a activity from said jar their room has to be clean. I am hoping there is enough encentive to keep their room clean (hopefully while teaching them a good habit at the same time :)). So here are some of the ideas that I have to go into my jar but I need some help. Give me your ideas too.

Go to a park not in our neighborhood
Go ride the ponies at Gardner Village
Make homemade taffy
Make popcicles
Get out the slip and slide
Go to This is the Place Park
Make some cookies
Do a craft
Scrapbook
Go get an ice cream
Paint a picture
Make a new piece of jewelry
Paint our nails
Pick a toy in the dollar section
Get out the pool
run through the sprinklers
Make some play/salt dough
Play Charades
Play Snorta

That's what I got so far. Help me with some ideas to add to my jar :)
