We are packed! I had only wanted to take 2 suitcases, but ended up needing the 3rd one to keep the suitcases under 50 lbs. It is amazing how much stuff weighs and really the bigger suitcases weigh 25 lbs by themselves so trying to pack everything into to 2 big suitcases is less effective than just packing into 4 smaller suitcases. As long as the 5 of us keep it to 5 bags.
We ended school early. I was going to try to keep going until Wednesday...but I was not motivated and could not expect them to be so we packed it up.
We are taking the little kids over to meet the respite care provider tonight. I have written little notes to the 6 year old girl to open at night before bed while we are gone. I hope they will be okay.
