Melissa Goes To Camp


My baby girl went to camp this morning. This is her second year going. Last year we had to go over the list a few times and I helped her get all packed up and she was just a bit afraid of going. THIS year? She opened the letter with the list herself and I never saw it again. She's been packed for a month. A MONTH. Seriously. This morning she got up at 6:00 and made her own sack lunch and loaded up all her stuff in the car. I heard a noise at 6:30 and got up and it was her with her little carry on bag on her back. I told her it wasn't even time to get up yet!! And went back to bed. Two hours later we were on our way. She insisted that she HAD to have McDonald's for breakfast. So we hit the drive through and got to the drop off point right on time. She was just a tiny bit nervous when we were waiting for it to be time to load the bus. Then she gave me a big hug and ran and got on. I'll see her on Friday!!

I added a few more bookmarks to my Etsy Shop. Check them out and buy a few!

    I keep coming up with more people I need bookmarks for. They make great little gifts. I know I'll definitely need a "japanese" themed one later on down the road. I'm just hooked on these bookmarks.

    New Zealand does not have holiday camps. How much do they cost over there anyway? Maybe I can send my kids over to you! lol

    Sleepaway camp is a great thing.

    Aww, don't you just love when kids are so excited that they get things ready themselves?

    Me, I'd have my kids packed already, be dragging them out of bed..(they'd be telling ME.."it's not even time to get up yet") and I'd have them dropped off at the pick up site faster than you know.
    Yes, that was me peeling out as I drove away....

    I kid.

    I'd miss my babies too.
    Hope she had a good time!
