I hate packing! (special message for Liz!)

First off I would like to say
....Happy Birthday to Liz!
This is the first time I haven't been able to celebrate Liz's birthday with her since we were in college. She is in England working on her masters right now and we miss her terribly! So- Liz, honey, happy birthday! Remember this one....?


Yesterday the weather was yucky and we were stranded without a car (we are having the van serviced before the trip) so Hanna and I started packing for North Carolina! Packing is the bain of my existence! I just always pack too much, but whenever I think about my choices I always feel it is a neccesity. Joe thinks I am neurotic when I pack. But you have to be prepared, am I right ladies?! To make packing worse~We bought Hanna the cutest swimsuit from Old Navy way early this year, maybe 2 months ago because I loved it and I was afraid they would sell out. Until now it has been in the back of her closet...I thought we better try it on before we get there and low and behold, it is too small!!!! It is a 4T and it is too small- it is a one piece and the torso is too short. Hanna is so tall for her age it is impossible to find her a one piece swimsuit. We had this problem last year as well. Isn't that crazy...she is 31/2 and already some 4T things aren't working- oy! (However- I will say that I would rather her be tall then short:)
So- today it is off to the mall to try and find her a swimsuit. We also have to pick up my bridesmaid dress and shoes for Ashley's wedding and buy birthday presents for Meagan and Allison. I think it is going to be a long day!

To cheer up our rainy day yesterday we decided to make our own popsicles! I love this popsicle maker because we can use her Kool-Aid 10 calorie juice packs that only have 2 grams of sugar! A heathy snack is so elusive these days! Have a wonderful day all!
