Packing

Tomorrow we leave for the beach (YAY!!!). That means today I am packing. And packing and packing and packing. I love vacation but I hate packing for it. Before I had kids packing was simple. Then we had the girls and I realize what my Mom had dealt with all those years (with four kids!). Then the girls got older and packing got (a little) easier. Now I have two five year olds, one infant, a husband and myself to get packed. I feel like it has been a full time job this week. I have been working on a list for weeks now and trying to do as much preliminary shopping and packing as I can.

That being said we have a ton of last minute stuff to pack. For one week at the beach we end up filling the Jeep and the van. You'd think we could cut some of it out but I don't know where. So when you see a car packed to the brim this weekend think of me and smile. I'll be on vacation!
