We left bright & early this morning, well around 10:00. It seemed early though after breakfast & morning chores. We were going school shopping and it ended up being a lot longer day than I had anticipated.
We started off at The Dollar Tree. I need school supplies and got what I knew would be cheaper there than at Walmart. The kids were wanting everything other than school supplies.
So at the next store I threatened them that they be good and not wine for things we don't need for school. If they wined I would not get their new school clothes until after school started. I may have sounded like the mean Mom but I was so frustrated by the way they acted in the previous store.
We got the rest of the school supplies while we were there and they had a ton of clothes on clearance, so we just got a few there and some shoes. Staci chose to get boots this year instead of tennis shoes. The rule in our house you have to wear tennis shoes to school everyday until you are in the 4th grade. Then you can choose what you want to wear, except for flip flops. But if these new boots get scuffs in them she will be having them taken away. There are rules to not wearing tennis shoes. You act according to the shoes you are wearing.
The kids were so hungry by the time we finished her that I decided to not go to Walmart but knew I needed wipes, we only had 2 wipes left in the entire house. So while we were at Costco we picked up hotdogs and were doing to call Paul to have lunch with him. But as we were loading up the car he called to say he was hungry. Good timing since we were on our way there.
After we ate hotdogs and churros he decided to come with us. So we went to Walmart for just a few things and then stopped at Downeast for some Men jeans for him. They were having a huge sale. Buy one get one for half off. These are $200 jeans for only $50.00 and they are good looking. They fit him great and look so nice!
After we got home we realized why they were on clearance. They are name brand jeans but are the misfits so I need to do a little touch ups in them myself.
We got home around 4:30 and I was exhausted. We ate dinner and for family night we watched football instead of having a lesson. But for scripture study we learned the 9th article of faith. Staci only has 4 more left and she will have all 13 memorized. With Kaitlyn & Xander only 9 more themselves. They are doing great! Way to go kids!!!
