Packing 101
Remember that I told you that I stink at packing? This time I am trying to be a bit more organized.
I even made a list
I took the idea of getting a baby pool for Eva, more rubberbands for her crazy hair.
I am going to try Burt Bees Chemical Free Sunscreen- anyone use it? I need to go buy some People magazines. My guilty beach pleasure.
Gathering up the flip flops is a task in itself- the feet grow fast!
So far my system is working out *ok*. I’d like to say I tackled it and it’s done. But this is far as I got.
More to get done today.

I am right there with you. I have a ton to do, and we leave Friday after work. We have to finish a project and Robbie has soccer tonight. I guess all the packing will take place tomorrow. Hope you all have a good time!

You know Mike – making lists is a big thing in this family, and while I can laugh at having them, they have saved the day many times. Wish we were going with you!

I have a ton of old people and Us mgazines if you want me to drop off. You are a better person than I. I read Star and National Enquirer on Vacation!!

I love love love all the cameras and photo equipment in the first pic – that is totally me – a whole backpack of cameras and chargers wherever I go!
I hate packing, too. And unpacking.
Have a great trip!

I didn’t love the burts bees sunscreen… it left a weird film on the kids that peeled. there is another one I liked better…I think maybe Jason’s brand? I don’t know, it was lavender scented… and came from Whole Paycheck. I can look for it if you really want to know.
The baby pool is a brilliant idea, but what I really want to point out is that it’s a good thing you put down that it’s for Eva. Just in case anyone thought it was for one of the rest of you. You really dodged a bullet there. *whew*

okay – I hate to ‘out’ myself as I feel like a dork telling you this (but you know me :), I finally created an excel spreadsheet for packing – works like a charm – everyone has their own column and can check off (or I can for them 🙂 and it has everything from wine opener/bandaids/phone charger/etc and you don’t even have to print it out.
I have kept my old paper ones as I can not part with the notes to remember ‘piggie’ & such but the spreadsheet has been a saver (and pinkster (Momo’s pink waffle blanket) is still on it). I do shove a copy in our luggage (as we go off-line on vacations) to help remember to pack everything back up 🙂
have a fabulous time!!!!!!!
