Counting down the days
Excited about the trip to come
Less than a week to go ...

Squeezing in the usual daily tasks
Life at school and at home
Along with sorting, piling, packing ...

Six days to go ... laundry and more laundry
Five days to go ... pulling out possibilities
Four days to go ... packing, packing, packing
Three days to go ... unpacking and repacking
Two days to go ... double checking the packing
One day to go ... waiting with anticipation

Along with sorting, piling, packing
Life at school and at home
Squeezing in the usual daily tasks ...

Less than a week to go
Excited about the trip to come
Counting down the days ...

An Interview with Educator/Momma/Writer Ruth Ayres Celebrating #EnticingWriters + Giveaway!
