27 out of 100 done...Oh dear.

After a week of doing nothing, I'm beginning to realize that we're likely not going to get all 100 things done. Regardless, we're having fun. We decided to undertake the most time consuming ones this past Friday, numbers 41 (Stay awake for 24 hours) and 9 (Watch all the Harry Potter movies in one day). While we did that, we were able to get quite a few others done. So with very few words and lots of pictures I present to you "A Night of Bucket Listing".

 Jasmine came over around 1:30 to start the movies. Unfortunately Grace could not join us for this occasion, but Jenny came over the night for the overnight part thus making it a slumber party (minus the slumber, #83)

Friday also coincided with Cow Day at Chick Fil A, so we took a break for dinner and dressed as cows to receive completely free meals.

 Nothing to do with the bucket list, but a lot of fun :D

 We completed a puzzle (number 24)

 And started another one which proved to difficult for our tired minds.

 We attempted to eat an entire package of oreos in one sitting (#86), but just couldn't so we settled for each eating two thirds of a pack over about 4 hours. Oreos are now my least favorite cookie ever and do not intend on eating another one for at least...a week or so.

 We star-gazed (#34) and were able to count all of 6 stars. It was cloudy though.

 Built a fort (#36)

 Duct tape (which we used on our fort) is extremely sticky and difficult to tear, especially at three in the morning.

 Jasmine drew a portrait (#46) and I posed since drawing a portrait myself would've taken forever and/or looked horrible. Jasmine's looked lovely of course.

 We had to make a snow man (#14) so Jasmine and Jenny made one out of crushed ice and I made one out of paper. Mine had a face, but there's was actually like, closer to snow. By the way, whatever tool that was didn't crush the ice, we had to put it in the blender. If you ever need to blend something while your parents are sleeping, take it to the room farthest away from them, close all the doors between and wrap the blender in towels. It muffles the sound.


While we watched Harry Potter, several things stood out. Emma (Hermione) is our favorite and arguable the best child actor in the whole series. They grew up a lot between the first and second movies. Harry and Hermione both did illegal magic outside of school that goes unpunished. Rupert (Ron) is excellent and cracking his voice just at the right time. They're all excellent at awkward scenes. And they're all bad fake criers (Emma gets better eventually, the boys don't). We decided to see whether we can fake cry better than them. What do you think?

 We were supposed to play monopoly (#63) but decided that playing Life counted because we wanted to play that more than monopoly. The first time I won by a lot (as you can see), the second time I lost spectacularly (somehow we just didn't get a picture of that one).

 We watched the sunrise (#45), or more accurately, were outside and looked at the sky during the time that the sun was rising.

 We took freezing cold showers (#92) before we watched the last movie. Our hair is wet in this picture if you can't tell. 3 minutes under freezing water really wakes you up. It also causes involuntary screams.

Finally, we wrote letters to our future children and future selves (#37 and #96) and also to our future husbands. #96 says to make a time capsule, but we decided we can do this on our own time since we'll have to find pictures and stuff. In our letters to ourselves we wrote the role models we chose for #82. Jasmine chose Emma Watson (inspired I'm sure by watched all 8 Harry Potter movies) and I chose my favorite Christian author Nancy Rue.

So there you go, 15 things done in 24 hours. In case you're keeping track we now have done twenty seven things. Maybe we'll get half done this summer and the other half done next :)
