Man, packing 3 kids for a week of camp is a LOT. I had been in denial, thinking, "oh, for each of the girls I'll throw in some leos, some PJs and a few swim suits. For my DS I'll throw in some shorts and shirts, swim suits. All done."
So I put it off until the last minute. I figure since the girls are young that they should be OK with 1 leo per day plus an extra. But then I couldn't find all of the leos. And suddenly they started complaining that some don't fit. So I found myself trying to come up with 14 leos that they agreed fit and it was not happening. As luck would have it, 10 minutes later the kid from across the street knocked on the door. She had been cleaning out her drawers and found 4 leos that didn't fit her and brought them over for my older DD. Score!!
Anyway, I now have for the girls, swim suits, swim shirts, leos, flip flops, gym bags, sneakers, rubber bands, hair brushes, sleeping bag, sheets, pillow, sunscreen, water bottles, toiletries and socks. For DS I have shirts, shorts, socks, a water bottle, swim suits, flip flops, toiletries, sneakers, jeans (for paintball), sneakers, sun screen, gym bag, sleeping bag, sheets and pillow. They each have a trunk that it is all in, along with a packing list so that hopefully most of it will make it back home.
I have a calling card for each kid.
Anything I'm forgetting?
