Laughing about the bridesmaid dress b/c I was on my way to a wedding and forgot to bring a dress to wear. It was the last SAturday before Christmas and I had to stop at a mall to buy something and my credit card was maxed out so a friend had to buy for me....Robbie Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12355421896613106268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809709352834557002.post-73671852545347017812013-08-05T23:42:31.226-05:002013-08-05T23:42:31.226-05:00Oh I totally suck at packing ..but would be a grea...Oh I totally suck at packing ..but would be a great idea for a post...or how not to pack! :)Robbie Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12355421896613106268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809709352834557002.post-8547253884132640092013-08-05T23:41:07.371-05:002013-08-05T23:41:07.371-05:00Being far away from gparents stinks but if I don&#...Being far away from gparents stinks but if I don't travel alone with kids then we don't go so I do what I have to do.

Now it's just two of them most of the time with the oldest in college. I am IN AWE of your packing prowess. That is truly my downfall. My husband and I (just two of us) went to Chicago last fall and I checked two bags. eek. When I found out how much, the next time we flew in the spring I managed to get us into two carry-ons. $$$ is a great motivator. Have fun with your parents.

I would never, cross that - never say never, probably travel alone with more than one kid. Kudos to you. <br /><br />As for being away from the grandparents, my heart goes out to you. This is our reality and I write a lot about the grandparents being in a different continent. It breaks my heart for 4 Year Old that the perception he's forming about extended family is an endless parade of people who step into his life for a moment (when they come for a visit) and then always leave. I haven't found a solution for that.Katiahttp://iamthemilk.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
