Getting Ready for Back-to-School

Today I picked the kids up early from summer school so we could go school supply shopping. Yesterday we visited the new school, which was finished being built in late July. The kids are excited about it being a brand new school with a gym that is "not smelly" (yet). We had to go to 6 different stores to locate all of the required supplies because so much was sold out. The most elusive item was a white folder with brads. I don't know what is up with the specific color requirements, but hey, who am I to judge? :)

Evelyn got a call from her kindergarten teacher tonight. We will meet her tomorrow in person. Her name is Ms. McCool. Evelyn thinks that is just great! She told us only to label the scissors and watercolors with Evelyn's name. Apparently there are mothers who label every single crayon in the 48-color box (not making this up).

Hee hee, my neighbor is one of those women :) She was so bothered that supplies went into a community pool, that she refused to send her sons supplies with him until the first day of class and then labeled everything (down to individual crayons). FREAKO!
