Yippee, it’s the school holidays!
The older kids have been learning to pack their own travelling stuff.
Last year, Vee forgot to pack his underwear for an entire trip. Good natural consequence — now he remembers it every. single. time.
So for the upcoming trip, I just had to tell the older boys how many days we’d be off.
We estimated the number of sets of going out clothes, underwear (!) and indoor / sleeping clothes. Then they dug the stuff out and let me pack into one big vacuum bag each.
They prepared some on-the-go activities, such as puzzles, games and stationery.
Finally, they reminded me to pack their socks, slippers and vitamins and we’re good to go.
Happy holidays!
