The movers will be showing up in about thirty minutes to pack up our air frieght shipment. Seems ike we just did this. Oh, yes, that's right. We did. And now again. Good thing we'll be staying put in Manila for two years. The packing is the worst!
This time, of course, less effort was involved. Just keep out five days worth of winter clothes to wear before we get on the plane - and the rest of the winter stuff goes in the air shipment. At first I was going to sort through all the boys' summer clothes to see what to bring and what to ship. Luckily, though, toddler-sized summer clothes fold very small, and everything fit in one duffel, so I was spared the trouble. Phew!
I gave in to William's one request: we'll find room for both the dump truck AND the fire truck (both about one foot by one foot) in the suitcases. The thought of packing again had him in such a tizzy last night. Thankfully Patch is too small to make space-constraint requests :) The two-wheeler bicycle with training wheels (complete with Spiderman helmet) is all ready to go in the airshipment for the "welcome to Manila!" present for William.
I didn't have that hard of a time making decisions about what clothes to bring - but when it came to books, ACK! I have a small pile of kids books in the middle of the living room floor which I'm undecided about. On one hand, they're heavy. On the other, it's a LONG plane ride and a completely unfamiliar place at the end. Willl Katy the Steamshovel and The Big Red Barn make the cut? I have until the movers show up to decide...
