Almost time to go


We are at 20 hours and counting until we get to leave for vacation. We are not quite ready to go yet. Still a few odds and ends to see to, like food and toys. The kids seem to think that packing the toys is more important. They are being lead falsely by their full bellies, maybe I should take a lesson from them and listen to my own full belly. Hmm, No I think I will still get those giant steaks and bagels with everything that are on our menu.


Yesterday as I was packing up I ran across several of Lorelei's old jammies that just do not fit her anymore. As she likes to eat breakfast in them many have spots so they are not suitable to give away. I just really do not like to get rid of perfectly good things.( Just because they are too small and slightly stained does not mean that they are not perfectly good... for something.) I decided that the kids could really use some car pillows so I made one out of pants. Unfortunately I do not think that I will have enough time to make enough for all the kids.



Gwen's was the most important because she still falls asleep in the car and her seat no longer tips back to allow for proper neck posture. Hopefully this will keep her from severe neck pains on our journey.

Lorelei's driving already?!Where has the time gone? Last time I saw her she was just learning to talk!
Have you thought that this might be your last family vacation? Once the youngest is driving, they no longer want to travel with ol' mom and dad. Have a good time.

Off you go...have a great time. Very creative with the neck pillows. I've made travel pillows out of Levi pant legs but just one leg. In fact, I have two one-legged pillows with me now!

Hey, Sam's quilt is all put together. I'll have to wait until I get back home before I can quilt it on my machine but at least it's ready for that! Hurray!!! Don't let Lorelei drive yet; I want to make her a "little girl" quilt.
