More Stuff. Always More Stuff.

Do you know the most fun thing about packing?

I know, I know. There are SO MANY fun things about packing. How can one possibly choose? Don’t worry. I’m here for you.

The MOST FUN thing about packing is finding stuff that you totally forgot about. Most of those things are craft supplies tbh. But I did find a few things we bought for Babystar that I never listed here.

Yay for that constantly growing number at the bottom.

We bought two books in Myrtle Beach: The Little Reindeer by Nicola Killen ($14.39) which is ADORABLE, and some ‘how to draw trolls’ book ($8.98) that came with a little magnet drawing thingy that the ToddlerMonster picked out all by herself.

They are probably in this box.

I also went to Target a few times while in Myrtle Beach and forgot to mention that I bought some Cat & Jack clothes because I literally can’t stop and where do I sign up for the support group? ($4.50, $4.50, $7.48, $7 and three of those were on clearance so I had no choice. Right? OMFGHELP.)

They are probably in one of these boxes.

And I found the program for Snow Day, an adorable children’s play that we went to last month. We paid $39.80 for all three kids and me. But we obviously wouldn’t have went to this show without Babystar. Who, btw, nursed in the back for half of the forty minute performance. Which is fine. I like supporting the arts.

Blankets on Blankets on Blankets.

I have been packing and packing and packing but apparently I totally love it because I went to Costco and brought home more stuff to pack.

One of those things was the BEST BLANKET EVER and Babystar fell in love with my new blanket. I love that kid, but she cannot have my blanket. Neither can Blanket Fan Princess Buttercup. So I went back and bought two more blankets. ($11.99 each; one was for Babystar.)

And I spent $19.99 on some crap.

Hear me out: I had to pee. Babystar is impatient. She is also obsessed with the Trolls. I sent Princess Buttercup and Babystar on a mission to ‘find some Trolls’ because I knew they could not actually find any trolls because TROLLS DO NOT EXIST. We decided to meet up at the books only because we all know where the books are and Costco rarely moves them.

She found the damn trolls.

Y’all. I checked. This was literally the only one of these. Someone probably bought it from a different Costco and returned it to this one. So yeah, I bought the Trolls. We decided that it would be a special ‘driving to Colorado’ toy so it is still in the box. She loves that box. She just plays with the box. As Princess Buttercup noted, we could have just printed out a picture of the trolls. Fml. I’m a sucker.

OMG YOU GUYS WE ARE LEAVING SO SOOOOOOOON!!
