ONE week and TWO carepackages down!

The ship has already been gone for a week! I already had stuff piling up for a carepackage before they even left though! So the boys and I decided it was time to send a package since it takes a few weeks to get to them anyway. After we started the first one Blake (our 5 year old) thought we should make cookies too. So we ended up making TWO packages!

We love decorating the boxes, its always been one of our favorite things while daddy is gone. THIS is the kind of thing you will end up with when a 2 and 5 year old decorate, Daddy always LOVES them!

Here is Blake, My little baker! He LOVES cooking! These ones were Chocolate Chip and Mini M&M "NIMITZ cookies" (he named them)



After I got everything out that i've bought I realized, I had a lot more than I first thought!



Heres a list of some of the things I put in this carepackage:
Homemade Jerky!
New Razor and Replacements
Shampoo and Body Soap Mix (easier to bring one bottle than multiple)
After Shave Cream
Shave Cream
Toothbrush & Toothpaste
Floss Picks (he loves these!)
Floss
Baby Powder (come on what man doesn't use it?)
Baby Wipes (i get these from the dollar store)
Portable Table Tennis
Rock-em-sock-em robots (that you put on your fingers- they need fun stuff too!)
Pistachios
KIND bars
TONS of individual drink mixes
Socks
(and I'm sure I'm forgetting some of the things)

This is how I pack a lot of my things- You can fit more into a box if its flat instead of inside a box. Also, he can store this easier than multiple tiny boxes.


and now they are off! Ready to be sent to Daddy!
