This is the last summer post from Miss Fancy Pants as she starts second grade on August 29th.
To celebrate the end of her 3 month break she wrote a list of 10 things she liked about her summer.
Hopefully this post will help her remember that she did in fact have a no bummer summer.
10 things I liked about summer vacation (or as she typed it: voacaice):
1) Horseback riding with my Father
2) Making a tutu
3) Playing in the grass
4) Doing the posts on my Mother’s blog
5) Going to Sacramento to see my family
6) Swimming
7) My dare chart for a no bummer summer (I ended with 70 points and I won)
8 ) Saving up my money to buy a fish
9) Making a sculpture out of sand
10) Going to the beach and the aquarium in Monterey
Thank you everybody for reading my blog posts this summer and leaving me comments. I hope my Mother will let me post again sometime.
XOXO Miss Fancy Pants (or Miss Vampire Ninja)
It seems like I did something right this summer with my kid since she was able to come up with 10 things she enjoyed doing.
Leave her some comment love to celebrate the end of summer with Miss Fancy Pants and she will help me reply to them as usual.

does she really call you guys mother and father? SO formal!
i bet she tells her new teacher that she’s a blogger.
liz recently posted..Introducing: iPhone Photo Phun
Yes, she really does call us mother and father. It’s not so cute.
She wants to show her whole class the blog posts she wrote over the summer.

Ms Fancy Pants, we’ll miss your posts so I do hope your Mother lets you post again soon. Enjoy 2nd grade!!!
And yay for a no bummer summer!

I hope she lets me post again soon too or that she lets me have my own blog.
Sounds like you had a great summer! Maybe your mom will let you post again on your fall or winter break.
I hope she does let me post again.
I love that you wrote on your mom’s blog and I hope to keep reading your posts! It inspires me to let my daughters write on my blog when they know how to write
It looks like you had a fantastic summer, but please keep us updated on the experiences of school, too!
Kim recently posted..Yin Yang: Part One
I will post as much as my mother will let me when I’m in school.
Thank you for reading!
I’m so glad you had a “no bummer summer”. Sad to see it end. You did a great job with your lists!! I hope you’ll post some more on your school breaks
I won the no bummer summer contest so I’m happy about that. I hope my mom will let me post again soon.

You must tell me more about the pony you rode! And congratulation on your fish friend addition. Have a lovely time in second grade.
Stasha recently posted..Monday Listicles
The pony was brown and it’s name was Missy. It was a hungry pony and it kept stopping so I had to kick it. We went up in the mountains when I was riding on it and we rode for 1 hour. It was a lot of fun.

Sounds like you really liked riding with your Dad. I am taking my son for our first trail ride together on Tuesday and I am super excited. We have gone many times but I always lead his horse, this will be the first time for us to both ride our own horse. Let you know how it goes.
And god job for not letting Missy get away with being cheeky!
Stasha recently posted..Monday Listicles
I’m surprised guest blogging wasn’t higher on the list. I’ve enjoyed them a lot!
I hope Miss Fancy Pants has an awesome school year and we see her again soon on My Time As Mom!
Tonya recently posted..When Daddy’s Away
She didn’t put her list in order of importance. Just order she could think of things.
I’m sure she will be begging to come back and post again soon.
It was great spending the weekend with you and seeing you during the summer. Your new yard is great and your fish is too. Xoxox, grandmother.
Thank you for letting me stay with you and for coming to visit me. Also thank you for seeing my fish and I’m glad it hasn’t died yet.

There was only a couple things on the dare chart she didn’t get to do but overall she had a no bummer summer.
Sounds like a great summer! Have fun in 2nd grade Ms Vampire Ninja Fancy Pants.

Thank you for reading my posts. I’m very happy my mother let me do these. Maybe she will let me post again soon.
Second grade will be great!! You should start your own blog and keep track of your adventures at school. I think a “dare chart” sounds like a great idea – I’d love to know more about it, for my own second grader.
I wish my mother would let me start my own blog. The dare chart was fun. We got the idea from the Judy Moody movie. Thanks for reading my blog post.

I want my mother to change my name to Vampire Ninja but she said she won’t.
So glad that you enjoyed your summer break!! And you made a tutu? That’s awesome!!
Kimberly recently posted..A Tale Of Stepping Out Then Stepping Into The Public Bathroom
My mother helped me make a tutu. It is black and purple. My dog likes to eat it so I have to keep it up.
I agree! You did something not just right, but extraordinary! I doubt our son’s list would be longer than 2 items. Brava!
Fabulosokids Bruce recently posted..Yinyang
At first my daughter only had 8 items on her list but I helped her think of 2 more.

So cool that you got to write on your mom’s blog this summer AND that you got to make a tutu! Maybe your next post could be a tutorial on how to make a tutu? I hope you have a great first day in second grade, Miss Fancy Pants!
My mother did most of the work on the tutu but I tried to help her as much as I could.
Awesome list, Ms Fancy Pants. I’m glad you had a no bummer summer. Enjoy school! I hope to see you here again in the future!!
AND, good job Mom!!

I called my mother “Mother” instead of Mama or Mom as well. I hope you have a great year back at school!

I always call her Mother. I don’t think she likes it very much though.
I hope your mom lets you post again sometime! Very fun.

ahh that is awesome. It is to often that you hear kids saying that they are bored. BORED! How can you be bored during the summer. We used to make up games all summer long to keep our selves busy! Nice work mom.. your Daughters list sounds like she had a great time!
Elizabeth recently posted..My Twitter was hacked!
I heard many times that my daughter was bored but I made her go clean her room. She didn’t like that too much.
Miss Fancy Pants – I have greatly enjoyed reading your blog posts this summer! You are a fabulous writer, just like you mom! Good luck in school this year.
Thank you! I hope my mother lets me write again on her blog when I am in school or next summer.
Sounds like you had a great summer! What kind of fish did you buy?

Hey Vampire Ninja–another great post! I’ve been to the beach in Monteray–I liked it too. Good for you for saving up your money to get something your really want. That’s hard to do! Hope to see you posting again soon. Have fun in 2nd grade!

The beach in Monterey was so much fun but the water was cold.
I want to save up more money for other things like taking my father to the movies.

That sounds like an AWESOME summer! I love the aquarium in Monterey (I used to live nearby)! & I’m glad you enjoyed it, too. What was your favorite exhibit?
Also, what is a “dare chart”. That sounds kind of cool…
Dana K recently posted..Eli Rose Social Media Blog Assessment
My favorite at the aquarium was the big sharks and the jelly fish. They were so cool to look at.
The dare chart is a list of things to do during the summer and each time you complete one you get points. Whoever has the most points wins.
Sounds like you had an awesome summerr!

Hi, Miss Vampire Ninja! I see you have inherited your mom’s awesome blogging genes! Also, would you be willing to give a tutorial on making tutus? (Please?)
Kate recently posted..Oh, yes. We went to this kind of famous ice-cream factory, too. Ben and…someone.
My mother mostly made the tutu but I helped her as much as I could but I don’t think I remember how to make it. I love blogging and I hope my mom lets me have my own blog one day.
