All Set and Ready to Go

my carry on luggage filled with kids' stuff

Finally finished packing and cleaning today. I am dead tired, not feeling any excitement yet since our flight won't be until Tuesday morning. We are going to Calgary a day early to stay with hubby's relatives. This is our 3rd summer vacation and you'd think I'm used to packing. Much as I love organizing things, I tend to over pack all the time. This time, I tried so hard to just pack 'necessities' and was able to squeeze them into three luggages.

Call me meticulous but I probably started several weeks before and only finished today. I had hubby load them up in the trunk this afternoon. I wish I had more space, I wanted to bring tons from my stockpile but I packed so much clothes, mostly Leila's.

Weeks ago, I was already busy being busy. It's the anticipation of all the madness involved in packing, cleaning and last minute errands. It was stressful for me just because I get easily stressed by anything. Come to think of it, I do deserve this vacation! We all do!

HAPPY SUMMER EVERYONE!  Enjoy yours because we are definitely going to enjoy ours :D

One Last Post

Yeyy leaving tomorrow for our month long vacation. I want my camera empty so might as well post the remaining food pictures. With kids at home 24/7, I had to whip up their favorite food mostly store bought while we try to let them eat what Mom and Dad have as well, which was hard of course :P

Perogies- my kids' all time fave, 10 pcs. in one sitting plus a generous amt. of sour cream on the side and Yakult

We can eat these all day Mom!
