Yeah, I learned never to pack toys with the kids in sight. Only pack them when they're asleep and when you can close up the container so they don't know their toys are in there.
Abby used to "help" me pack by putting random things in the suitcase. Fortunately, I always caught her before we left, otherwise we would have ended up taking who knows what with us.
Ugh, I hadn't even thought about packing for today's trip yet. I think our bags from last weekend are still packed. Maybe I should just grab those and hope the contents aren't too rank.

I was able to distract Mel briefly by giving her a bag and pile of stuff to "pack." I think she had a tote bag and laundry. It worked for a little while.
Until we had to leave and realized she packed one of her shoes somewhere...

I was battling with this yesterday as I tried to pack the girl's clothes for our trip. I ended up putting the suitcase in her crib so she couldn't reach it.

Smart! I found a few extra items when I opened my suitcase in Thailand..and a missing shirt.

Brilliant! I'm doing this if I ever get around to packing today. I have a whole hour before we leave. Plenty of time to procrastinate!
