Make a Marshmallow Sculpture: #22 Summer Bucket List

 

There's a difference between being a child and being child-like. I'm beginning to feel like this whole summer insanity list was a bad idea. I have a few reasons.

#1. Some of these activities are for children.
#2. Some of these are inadvertently dangerous.
#3. I'm a klutz and this is going to kill me.

As my writer friend Cari told me: "A bucket list are things you do before you die. Not a list that causes you to die."

Yeah, I need to do better at that.

Moving on to the current item at hand. I did some light Googling on building Marshmallow Sculptures and came away bored. I sat at the kitchen table and just started putting random stuff together.

At one point I tried to build a Tie-fighter, it would look much better if it could stand up on its own. Still, I was happy with it.

The other thing is just that, a thing. Some kind of building. It took forever to make. If you're curious, that was 117 toothpicks.

I should mention that this summer I'm reading a great book called: Adulting, how to be an adult in 468 easy-ish steps. It's actually a fun read for anyone aged 18-40. The library is hosting an online book club for it and it's a blast. Seriously, check it out.

As I'm reading through this book and feeling mildly confident in how many steps I've already accomplished, my summer bucket list is completely changing that.

The next thing on my list is to paint rocks. Yeah, I'm an adult.
