I have been working on getting school supplies for the older two. Today I finished up getting the supplies that they needed. R needed a binder that zips and I managed to find one that was $4.99 at Walgreens. I didn't really want to spend $10-15 on a binder when my son will most likely lose it at some point during the year.
I got C a new lunch box. The one I really like is from Pottery Barn Kids and costs $22.00.
I love that orange color and you can monogram them.
The one we got today is a cheap knock off. It was $5.99 at Walgreens. We got it in red though.
So, except for new shoes and haircuts that they are getting next weekend R and C have everything they need for school.
Now I have to start on AD. I made a unilateral decision that I need the nine hours of alone time each week for sanity purposes and so that I can get some stuff done around our house. That means that AD will be going to preschool. He doesn't need much, I can probably buy all his for $20.00 but seriously what is with the cost of binders? I can buy a 1" binder for $.97 and the price goes up to $2.47 for a 1.5". Oh, well. It's a small price to pay for sanity.
