Pine Needles and Glow Sticks

After a full day of organizing and packing, we are leaving tomorrow (today) for a long-weekend camping trip. The pile of totes, bags and boxes piled in my dining room looks more like two week’s worth than the “stuff” of four days! We are prepared for late summer days and early fall nights (and everthing in between, by the looks of things!).
I love camping with my children… these are memories I know they will hold onto as they grow up, mostly because they talk about these trips alll the time. “Big brother” has been counting down the days (for weeks!), with his backpack stash of Lego and other treasures ready and on standby for almost as long. “Little brother” has been reminding everyone and anyone of the bee sting he got last year… within about five minutes out of the car!
Poor wee babe, only three at the time, couldn’t understand why that mean ol bee would want to go and hurt him like that! LOL
This year the “little princess”, just 12 weeks old, adds a fun twist to the whole camping scenario…she has three times the “stuff” as the rest of us! Ahhh… all is well in the pecking order around here.
I’m looking forward to this time away and although I won’t be painting I know that I’ll return with recharged creative batteries…just something about the pine and the water and boys playing with glow sticks. ♥
