I gotta pack

My little two are in a "packing" stage. They like to pack things in back packs. They have a tent they set up and they pack their bags and go camping. They make the biggest messes but they play so good together most of the time.

I went to Children's Orchard yesterday and their was a tent set up that was for sale. I shop and check on them every few minutes and within that few minutes Raegan had "packed" all kinds of things into the tent. She had set up house and had outfits hanging from the windows, toys, hairbows, books...

We went back home so the kids could get back to their packing. I unpacked Raegan's back pack numerous times yesterday. She packs it right back up. This morning her bag is packed and she is "going to the hospital because her baby monkey broke his arm".


I wrote down two words that she still mispronounces. There used to be so many, now she's getting most of them right. That makes me sad because she is growing up. But, she still says "lillow" for pillow and "nakin" for napkin. She can say some of her "p" words though cause she said "piggie" just fine for me this morning...ha!

Ethan is going to kindergarten roundup tonight. How can he possibly be old enough for kindergarten? And then the following year Raegan will follow right behind him. I am not far off from having all of my kids in school. I'm sure i will cry the day away the first day that happens.

But until that day comes...i will enjoy my little "packers" who play, fight, cry, throw fits, give me hugs and kisses, tell me they are going to marry me someday, think their mommy is the best, and set monkeys on my head...yep, i am now sitting here with the monkey with a broken arm on my head...
