Eliot's Travels

Some kind of help ...

It's time to pack for our holiday back to the States! This is just half of the stuff we're planning on bringing home with us this trip. We've accumulated a few things in 7 months! All week we've been separating things, especially toys, into two piles: one to take home now and one to take home when we go to "the United States for good."

We had lots of helpers this weekend. Eliot was the good kind and stayed busy putting bubble wrap around his school wood projects. Some kind of help is the kind of help we can all do without. That was Miles' version. When I decided to go look for him after too much silence, Miles was chomping away on his chocolate letter. Later he found the box of loose coffee beans. We let him play there hoping it would keep him occupied instead of throwing our clothes piles off the bed as he was doing before. We had to put an end to it when the coffee beans started spreading to the bedroom and dining room. Yikes! We got 2 or 3 bags packed on Saturday so we were in good shape for Sunday.
