I'm sure someone more experienced will be along to offer much better advice but if I were you then this is what I'd do:

4/5 day outfits each and then a couple of 'nice' going out things,if you don't mind doing washes

Try and co-ordinate what you take so you can mix and match

Take lots of underwear asits small but kids manage to go through lots

Layer as much as you can so you can adapt for the temperature

Have a fab holiday
