We are down to two kids at home for the weekend, and I'm sorry to say that I've been enjoying it quite a bit. We jumped at the chance to send Sage to Las Vegas for a quick 3-day trip (down with Aunt Lorene and back with Aunt Danielle), as her cabin fever has become a little much (not so much her cabin fever as the manifestations of her cabin fever, which almost all consist of using "Mom" and "mean/meanie/meanest" in the same sentence, at high decibel levels).
On the morning of departure, I asked Sage to pack her suitcase for her 3 day trip. This is what I found crammed into her backpack, along with the 3 outfits, PJs, shoes, socks, undies and toothbrush that I requested:
Ruler
Ruler
1 inch piece of chalk
Washcloth ("for spills" she explained)
Blue belt (that was only used once in the last year)
Pen
3 toothbrushes
3 flossers
1 broken princess comb
Beanbag
Empty toilet paper roll
2 tubes of toothpaste
Stuffed turtle
Jumprope
3 pairs socks
2 rubber bracelets
Hello Kitty watch (not functional)
Purse with mirror and hand sanitizer
Heart pillow
Basically everything but the kitchen sink. I hope she survives without that piece of chalk that I snuck out.

Ha! How can she miss with Aunt Lorene and Aunt Danielle both...not to mention a few fun cousins tucked in along the way!
Sounds like a girl after my own heart! I hope she comes to our ward- it'd be fun to see her (not that she remembers me) and sing to her in primary!!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!! It's hard to imagine the little peaceful sweetheart having those manifestations of cabin fever. Our fighting has already gone down almost entirely since she got here! Can we make this a habit?
PS. Sage wants to know where her chalk went.
I love this so much. She's prepared for almost anything, right?
That Sage! Sounds like Soraya's packing! I miss you guys--we need to get together soon!
You are a big meanie to take away the chalk! I mean really. Perhaps she should be in charge of the family packing for your next trip. Then you could all dress in style with blue belts.
