Megan's coming over here this evening so we can install Henry's carseat into her car, and load up most of the stuff we're taking with us to Boston so she can fit all of Leo's stuff in around it. This should be interesting because Henry's two and still requires a fair amount of luggage, but not nearly as much as what a nine month old requires. Add into that equation the amount of luggage two women cart around so that they can have as many wardrobe and eye shadow options as they'll need to get through five days away from home, and you have one seriously packed car. So I'm spending the afternoon piling together everything I think we'll need, weeding stuff out, and attempting to contain it in as small a space as possible. And for the record, I'm taking Mel's experience to heart and making sure I don't pack like a man.

Right now I've got our clothes in one small suitcase and I have one large bag for miscellaneous junk that isn't even filled up. The things that take up the most space are the three blankets and four stuffed animals Henry sleeps with, but since we need those tonight, they'll have to go in tomorrow. So far, though, it's looking pretty good. Hopefully it won't get too out of control by the time we leave. I'm very bad about last minute panicking over what we'll need which leads to the throwing of tons of random stuff into bags which are then squished into every available space in the trunk and back seat.

This is going to be an interesting car ride.
