The boys are going camping in the mountains this weekend. I asked them to put whatever they want to take on the table so that I could get it packed today.

Noah put 2 pairs of shorts, 3 short sleeve t-shirts, 8 pairs of socks, a bird call, a head lamp, a hard cover book, one red washcloth and a coat that doesn’t fit out to pack.

Tommy put gloves, a scarf, headphones, an ipod and one pair of sweatpants out to pack.

Doug will run around the house flapping his arms and asking who moved his cheese an hour before they need to walk out the door.

I don’t think they should get a merit badge for their packing skills.
