Packing for a vacation for a family this size is work!
I've been packing and organizing for the last 5 days, and still not totally done yet.
Today we did the fun part though. Throughout the afternoon the kids helped me pack up their lunches for the trip. Bri helped me scoop cheetoes and snack mixes into baggies, then all the kids wrote their names on their own lunch sacks and one by one they got to load 'em up till they each had 9 days worth. Puddings, trail mix, peanut butter crackers, fruit snacks, applesauces, and all the other stuff I only buy in the little individual serving sizes for times like this....We sampled as we went of course. We'll add sandwiches the day we eat.
It's going to be great to get away before the school year starts back up.
The kids are so excited for this. I really love these opportunities to make memories with them.
And Lexx was so cute today walking around with her doll in Braden's infant carrier with it's diaper bag all packed and everything. Makes me smile.

cool Stephi! You guys are going on vacation, lucky! =) I love you, I LOVE how organized you always are...and that trail mix you made looks soooo good. =) I love your creativity, you are amazing as always. I miss you!!! =)
Have fun on your trip. Holy cow that's a lot of food but I guess you need that when you have six kids huh? Good ideas though even though it's just Damian and I we have never thought of packing along food that's awesome. I hope you and your family have a safe trip and get back safe.
holy smokes-that looks like a lot of work! Where are you guys going?
