Annual Camping Trip

We're busily packing up for our camping trip, and I needed a little break. I don't know if you've ever packed for camping with three children, but I couldn't do it without lists. Lots and lots of lists. The way I do it is to work through a typical day in each child's life, from sunup to sundown, and list everything they might need. Clothes, bedding, toiletries, accessories (potty seat), a few assorted rainy day activities, things for eating, and anything else I may have missed. Then there are the lists for things like food, first aid, miscellaneous (phones, camera). And toys for the baby. And nappies, and wipes, and laundry detergent, and so on and so on. Five people require a lot of kit for 8 days of 'roughing it'. Seeing as that 'lot of stuff' won't pack itself, I'll keep moving, and hopefully get all the children's things packed before they get back from running errands. :) Oh, and two big milestones in our house: M is crawling!! P is officially potty trained!!! Some celebrations are in order for this week, don't you think?? See you next week, Sarah

I hope you have a great time. Take lots of pictures. And I can't believe M is crawling! Your kiddos are growing up so fast. Love you and miss you big time. Wish we could talk more.
