Packing These Kiddos For the Weekend

I’ve spent the last 2 days preparing for a weekend get away with the kids. Yesterday was load after load of laundry to make sure that anything we would need to pack would be clean, folded and waiting. So this morning I started stressing the actual packing list. 27 pair of socks, check! 27 pair of underwear, check! 9 bathing suits, check! 9 toothbrushes, check! Diapers, check! Sleeping bag, check! Shampoo, conditioner, hair brush, hair dryer, wash cloths, toothpaste…….check!
Now that everything’s tucked and folded into bags, I’ve realized that there are MANY things that have to be done before we actually start driving up the mountain. Uh, the van needs gas. The library movies need to be returned, one child’s shoes need to be retrieved from a friend’s house, etc. etc. So, as I listen to the bickering between my teens in the front room, I realize it’s time to get out of here.
No phone, no internet, no housework for the next couple of days.
We’re off!
Have a great weekend~

Dan had to go to a meeting in Billings today. I kept trying to figure a way I could arrange for at least some of our clan to go along for the fun. But there were too many kids with activities and I couldn’t get my act in gear to do that much laundry in one day…hats off to you, girlfriend! You made it happen! I let the inertia slow me down too much! Hope your wknd was good!
