Oh how I hate moving my kids too. We have done it so many times. That is probably the best thing about my kids being overseas. They fly away with 2 large suitcases. Once you get them to the airport you are done.
The batiks will not be coming to my house. I stayed the same for the month which I count as a win since my kids have been home for 3 weeks and I haven't gained. But the next time there are batiks, watch out!
