travel bags are ready

Tomorrow we are headed to the Big Apple. Whenever we take a plane ride, the kids always get a new backpack or bag packed with goodies to keep them occupied. This time, they helped design the bags. Each kid went through fabric to pick what they liked. Then, they all decided that they wanted some pockets from our stash of cut up jeans. Add a finger knitted drawstring, some bedazzling and a merit badge (they always think of ways to earn these) and they were set. We filled them with journals, markers and pencils, glue sticks, gum and tic tacs.

I am going to try to blog from the road, so stay tuned.... as mamascout travels with her little pack of crazy.
