The big thing in the Astley house right now is getting everything we need for school. Yes, it's that time again. I can't believe it. Where did summer go? Then again, it's too hot for the kids to play outside so they might as well be in school, right? I let the boys pick out their back packs and lunch bags. I ordered their tennis shoes for school and they have a closet full of new clothes. The only thing left to get is the actual school supplies. Let me just say that this is the worst part about back to school. You have this list of 100 different things your children need for school. The items are so specific that you'll spend an hour standing there, reading the list, and repeating one item at a time as you scan the 10 different types of the same item . . . only to find that that the one item you need isn't there. Do you wait and try again in a few days or do you just buy something else? It takes forever and then, $100 or so later you have everything your child needs. Or do you? Usually I get home and realize there was one thing I didn't get. School starts two weeks from today. I'm going to try and enjoy the last few days I have with my boys before we all start school, homework, therapies, and all the craziness that back-to-school involves.
Hoping for a great year for my boys!
