School Supplies

This is the first year, in the past 12, that there are no crayons on our school supply lists.  For some reason this is really making me sad -- my kids are growing up way too fast.  

We still have 3 different school supply lists but if I can get everyone up we can make one trip to Target and be done!  When my oldest started kindergarten I left my younger ones at home and we made a special morning of picking out his school supplies, debating whether he wanted  Scoopy or Spider Man folders.  When the second one started kindergarten I tried to bring both, along with a toddler,  on the school supply shopping trip.  Not a great idea!  How can .20 packages of crayons and 2 for 1 glue sticks add up to $100?  

This year my oldest will probably just pick up what he needs in his school store and the other 2 can manage to find all the items on their list with little assistance.  They still need me at checkout time though.

Yes, when the crayons are off your list, it's all down hill:)

Such a cute comment about crayons being off the list. My oldest is going in to middle school and I noticed there were no crayons on the list. Bought him some anyway!
