Here's a list thats posted on VJ on the NVC filers that most use.

Since you have children enrollment in school is vital, bank accounts a lease or document from who you will live with, drivers license, voters card, SS card. All things you would have if you were still living here.

What if I (the petitioner) live with my spouse in their foreign country? Do I need to include anything in either package?

You'll need to provide proof of US domicile with the AOS package, as well as bring it with you to the interview. Please read the I-864 instructions (pages 3 and 4) for information about it. This is NOT needed if the petitioner is living in the US. Here is a sample cover letter to include in the package (it lists MANY possible documents, some may not be applicable of course, to prove that you have, or will re-establish, domicile in the US):
