So, today is the 7th and we are leaving on the 15th. So much to do and only 9 (partial and full) days left to get it all done. We are getting there, but I have to say that this is a lot harder than I thought. I am worried about the luggage weights and this could be the thing that blows it all out of the water. We get 50LBS per person, and one would think that with 200 lbs of checked luggage that we would be OK - however, I am starting to worry as we get closer to the date.
As it stands right now, my daughter, the Diva is 100% packed. Her Disney dresses arrived on Saturday and they fit perfectly!! Thanks to Mickie for doing an awesome job!! She also has 11 other dresses - yes, you read it right - 11!, to wear for dinners, etc. She couldn't decide and I got tired of the battle, so I gave in. And, as she will change clothes 2-3 times a day I also have 14 outfits for her packed. Hope she still likes them - she picked them all out, but its been a month... In addition to all of that there are 4 pairs of shoes packed for her, plus whatever she wears to school that day! How I got her to agree to NOT wear the clothing, but to leave it all in the suitcase is beyond me, but she agreed and her case including about a dozen t-shirts for our extended DIS family all come in at under 50lbs. And the case is full. I think that the weight was 43 lbs, so I may space bag her dresses and put in more of the DIS shirts to get the case to 48 lbs. Oh - and I need to pull clothing for Barcelona out... Oy Vey!!
Like I said, so much to do and so little time!
And, while all of this last minute stuff is happening, my better half is trying to finish up a myriad of last minute stuff around the house so when we get back we don't have to do it all... Stuff like baseboards. window casings, etc. Yes, that right, he is trying to finally finish the basement project!
So, in addition to all of this, did I mention that there is still laundry to do, cheer practice, gymnastics and wrestling is about to start? Oh - and yes, I did do laundry over the weekend! 5 loads or if... I love my washer and dryer!! It holds double what the old ones did. So, all the sheets went in one load! 3 twin sets, a king set and a double set, and one mattress pad.
All I need to do tonight is get Becca to cheer, grab stuff for my other (who I blew off all weekend) and get it to her. Wish me luck!!
