On a related note ....

On a related note (school supplies) I will be thrilled when I do not have to buy kleenex, paper towels and anti-bacterial wipes for school.  I don't know why the school can't add $10 to our tuition and buy it themselves.  Now I need to make another run to Target and I'm sure I will be tempted by a t-shirt or shorts I don't need.   

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.
