There's something about going into Walmart or Target these days that excites me...yep, school supplies! I not only love seeing them dirt-cheap, but those big bins of glue, scissors, pencils, erasers and aisles of pocket folders and notebooks just make me smile. This year, with two school-aged kids, it was even more FUN!
We had a scavenger hunt-like experience looking for the items that we needed. Now that I'm a bit more experienced, I've learned that you stock up at this time of year. Undoubtedly classes run out of just about everything on those lists in about December, (when your budget is stretched with Christmas), and request an item or two it seems each month following. Now, I've bought them cheaply and I'll be able to find glue sticks when I need them. (Glue sticks and my stapler have legs and walk off in our house.)
So, when we finished with the trip we headed out of Walmart and Seth said, "Mom, we got everything on our lists!!" (Yes, and a lot more.) Then he told me, "They should call this place SUPER Walmart, 'cause it's Super!" That's my SuperTarget shopper talking!

when does school start for you kids? Is Seth excited?
I agree... I LOVE new school supplies. It takes a lot out of me to NOT buy 10 notebooks for a dollar, because I have NO need for them. I can't wait until we have kids old enough to buy all that fun stuff.. I don't know what it is, but something about new school supplies gets me really excited too :)
School starts on August 28th. Seth is VERY excited about starting up. Once in awhile he'll say that he's a little nervous. I think I'm the one worried the most! (I guess that's not too much of a stretch to imagine. ;) I just don't like the whole busing thing out here. I've heard that the first day of school is the most important to bus (they give them their number on their hand, etc. and make sure they get to class), but I liked the control of taking them to school and seeing them off...even to their classroom. Maybe I'm a little overprotective, but I think this isn't too much to ask...
