A village travels.

Wednesday, September 01, 2010    3 comments

In two days time, the twins, Muffin, their grandparents and us will be off to Perth. We are going to stay at a beach house and a farm. Muffin is going to go on his very first plane ride. It seems a colossal effort to pack. It's early spring so it's chilly. There is an added chill factor because we will be on a farm and we will be at the beach.

This has meant a whole lot of packing. Warm clothes are a necessity. Entertainment for the 3 hour ride to the farm. Bottles and a blender for Muffin because he is on semi-solids.

We have packed at least
50 pieces of diapers
15 pairs of socks
10GB worth of audio-visual entertainment
9 jackets
8 crayons
7 plane tickets
6 books (3 each)
5 rattles or chew toys
4 packets of baby wipes
3 children
2 GPS
1 stack of papers to grade (Work never really ends)

I don't forsee it being a restful vacation but I look forward to seeing Perth through the eyes of the twins. And for Muffin, I just pray he enjoys the weather and being with Mommy and Papa 24-7.

    Have a fabulous trip! I hope your papers mysteriously disappear so you won't have to mark! Give all the kids a B grade; tell them the animals on the farm ate them. :P

    Btw, I still have the trio's presents from London! So sorry! Meet when you are back! :)

    Happy Teachers' Day :)

    Happy Teachers' Day!
    The upcoming trip sounds wonderful. Have a smashing good time with your family. The farm stay will thrill the children and I remember Evan likes water so, the beach trip is a great idea too. Share the holiday with us on the blog so we can learn a tip or two for travelling with kids. But your babe's a dream and the twins are pretty low-maintanence in terms of attention.

    When I was a tutor in uni, I will indulge in vacation trips and leave the marking till after. Yea, it's sweatshop style swotting after the fun but that's sweeter than thinking and working while travelling. ;-)

    I've just received the pillow in the mail. It's the exact proportion I wanted. Longish type to place on the baby/ sleep on. Thanks a million!!!!
