Time to get the Kids Ready for SCHOOL!

Oh I am thrilled that it is almost time for the kids to go back to school - only 18 more days! Bridget will be home again this year - at least for a while... He b-day is a week too late to start kindergarten this year. I am going to take my 5 year old, Rainy, to do her school shopping and get a haircut today and maybe tomorrow, and then the other two next payday - I might take them all at once to get their shoes, but then that sort of like hoping for an anxiety attack, so maybe just one at a time - lol
Not sure what Chaelisa is going to do for school yet this year - we are going to go talk to the counselor at the young mothers school this week and see what they can offer her, and then maybe Landmark High's night school program would be better - guess we will just have to see.

After taking Rainy shopping for 1st grade, we came home with two Hello Kitty outfits - jeans with a top and a skirt with a top, a cute outfit with capris and a top, 10 new undies, a pair of Hannah Montana dressy sneakers, High School Musical sneakers that have Troy's picture on them (this is her 3rd pair of Troy shoes - at least they have all been different, but hey, when you are gonna marry a guy you need his pic on your shoes right? I have a pair of slippers put up for her b-day with his pic on too - lol) We also picked up a cute courderoy jumper with a long sleeved shirt and a Curious George packed with new stories (a collection of stories is the right thing to say I guess - we have a yellow hardback one with the classic stories in and this one is a blue hardback and was only $7.50!) I got a new Beatles shirt (never can resist those when they get them) a cute little tin with hot cocoa and marshmellows, a cute little orange bowl that looks like a small version of grandmas old mixing bowl, and some paper canister thinggys for my desk to put all the little scrappy crap in that needs a home) it was $75 at Ross and about $30 at Wal-Mart. Not too bad I suppose. It seemed better when I didn't stop and think about what it cost - lol. For the next 2 they don't need as much, so it shouldn't be too bad. I might still get Rainy a couple more tops, and she needs socks, but her b-day is coming up, so maybe I can get her the Bratz pants that she wanted so bad. We will have to see.
