Chillin Childfree..

Every summer Rick's mom and sister take the kids on a special Grammie/Auntie Amee weekend. This morning they left for Portland. They have a whole weekend of activities planned and then Sunday afternoon Amee will bring them back (Rick's mom has to head to Seattle for meetings).

They were so excited... Trace has been wanting to get "packed up" for 2 weeks. I saw an idea on THIS BLOG and thought it would be perfect for the kids for activity bags for the car ride (yes I do realize these are no where as cute as her's are! Not only does she have a fabulous creative mind she has great execution!). I bought books, coloring crayons, coloring books and snacks for each of the kids. So after some cutting, heat-and-bond, ironing (did I mention I get to buy a new ironing pad because I pretty much SUCK at these things) here is the finished product:

Kaitlyn's bag....

Cute bags! If Chase didn't get carsick the minute we hit the road I would love to do something like that- maybe he could use it as a barf bag :). Have fun this weekend sans kids!
