Monday when we went grocery shopping I checked to see if the school supply lists were out. Sure enough they were, so I grabbed one for each of my boys, and decided that we would go sometime soon. Then I thought we had better hurry up and get that list taken care of, so I took the kiddos shopping on Tuesday.

Dylan was excited to go shopping, Thade wasn’t too happy about the idea that school was around the corner, and Agnes was miserable and screamed the entire time. Dylan threw a giant fit before we left the house, and then cried on the way there, the excitement must have gotten to him. So there I was with 3 grouchy kids going back to school shopping.

We made our way though the supplies, and some of them were a bit tricky to find, i.e. only Orange Poly Folders with Brads not a 3 ring binder, and No Purple Glue Sticks! Goodness, I thought I was picky. Thade perked up a bit when he got to pick out red scissors, and a red ruler, red seems to be his favorite color. Dylan was mad that there wern’t as many items on his list, but I got them all checked off, so they are set for school.

The boys were also in need of the usual: clothes, socks, shoes, and you guessed it underwear. Shopping for these items with 2 little boys was hilarious. Thade was embarrassed, but laughing, and Dylan kept saying “underwear” as loud as he could. Agnes was getting really mad seeing the boys pick out new backpacks and clothes, she lost it when we got to shoes. She loves shoes like crazy.  The boys both went up a shoe size over the Summer.

She has grown to and is now in 2T clothes, so I picked her up a new pair of Hello Kitty pajamas, she loves them. I also spotted a cute Summer outfit for her, and the weather doesn’t look like it is going to cool off anytime too soon. It is hard not to pick her up clothes, I have to admit, I love shopping for little girl clothes.

I had a few household items to get, and two hours in to the shopping trip,  the kids were exhausted, and so was I. I am happy to be done though, it is one more thing crossed off my list before the first day of school, which will be here before I want it to be.

So how is your back to school shopping going? Are you all finished, or just getting started?
