Saturdays from a Jar

Yesterday I posted about our Summer Bucket List.
On it it says, "Saturdays from a Jar."
I will explain.
Have you ever had one of those Saturdays? Where each one of you is itching to do something, but you're not sure what?
We do. A lot.
This is my solution to life's most perplexing question... "What do you want to do today?"
Saturdays in a Jar should actually be called Saturdays in 3 Jars.
One is labeled with a $. A second is labeled with $$ and the last, pretty obviously, labeled with $$$.
This is, of course, is so we can have something do to any Saturday, no matter our fundage situation. Surprisingly enough, I have a lot of $ activities and it was really hard for me to figure out the $$ and $$$ activities.
Let's fast forward to Saturday. This {very possible} scenario takes place...
"What do you want to do today?"
"I don't know what do you want to do?"
"I don't know, but I don't want to sit around all day."
"Luke, any ideas?"
"Buy Legos and have a Lego-putting-together-party?"
"Um, no."
{Cue the bright lights & angelic music}
"THE SATURDAY JARS!!!"
So we pull from one of the jars- most likely the $ jar. And we may pull out "Create a sidewalk chalk city." or "Go to the splash pad." or "Wash the cars (and the bikes!)"
If we pulled from the $$ jar, we'd get to have friends over for an ice cream sundae party or go to the beach.
And, on the Saturdays when we saved up our cash during the week (ha ha ha ha ha ha! Oh my. Sorry, fit of laughter there), we could pull from the $$$ jar and go to the drive-in theater or go to a Silverhawks game!
The fun thing is, if we think of other ideas that aren't in the jars already, we can always add them!
If you did Saturdays in a Jar, what activities would you add?

Great idea! I might have to add "do an activity from the jar" to our list!! I can put all of the things I find after my master list is made :)
Nice!
(giggling thinking that our jars would have to have one sunshine, two sunshines, or three sunshines so we could plan our activities according to how stinkin' hot it is!)
