A Packing We will Go….

Ok – a quick couple minute break here.  I’m packing my life away, lol.  No – but it sure feels like it.  I’ve got the car about half way filled.  Now it’s just trying to get all the little stuff.  The day-to-day stuff that runs our lives (backpacks, blenders, computers, etc).  I also want to leave the house nice so that when we return, we’ll have a clean house to host friends for a visit.  I was very brave last night and had 4 little girls from Aria Bella’s class come over to spend the night before we leave.  I was thinking it’d be no big deal….they’d play & I’d pack.  I was hoping Giuliana could spend the night with Kay Kay but I didn’t ask.  So, I sporadically decided to do Chuck E Cheese for dinner.  That turned into a THREE hour event.  It was fun though – we got to see Leslie & Everett…and then Ava & Yosh.  That was fun.  And the girls had a great time playing.  We got home and the girls watched a couple of movies and played.  They were really good – but I never got an opportunity to pack at all.  It was just misc keeping up/cleaning up.  And by midnight I was exhausted.  Woooo!  Anyway, they woke up at 5 and the morning began.  Crafts, projects, French toast, smoothies…it was a whirlwind (but fun).  The only BAD thing is the amount of JUNK the girls ate – I hate that.  I don’t know why my mind thinks SLEEPOVER = JUNK FOOD.  But for some reason it does.  Anyway, I’m so tired and still have so much to do.  I better run.  We pull out tomorrow at 6:30 am!!  St. Louis, here we come!
