Packing

Sort of makes packing look like a neat orderly process, doesn't it. I'm hoping it works for this trip.  Unfortunately, the rest of the house looks nothing like these neat piles. :P

I give the boys a "packing list" so they can gather the clothes they will need.  Then I work with them to refine and get it packed.  The system works pretty well.  Hopefully it is also teaching them how to prepare for a trip.
