first grade vs. preschool



This morning we got up, braved Walmart and bought the kids' school supplies. Ryanna was just BOUNCING off the walls from wanting to buy everything she saw. $100 later...

In addition to her school-supply-list she begged me for the following, and claimed that "I'll NEED this in first grade, Mom!"

-a child-size umbrella
-a new DVD of Nim's Island (which we already OWN I should add)
-a candy bar
-a new bath toy

She's definitely her mother's child, she can make up a perfectly good excuse why we should buy whatever pops into her head.



What we needed for Ryanna:



What we needed for Dawson:

He was so thrilled for his new lunchbox (which he won't need, they'll feed him at school) and I had to talk him into buying him new undies. Silly boy!



Didn't need anything for Carter:
Whenever that one curl falls onto Carter's forehead like this, it's his Link-Hairdo. What a cutie!


What I needed:
The kids got fun stuff and I bought myself something fun too! Aren't these snazzy? I should have bought Ryan his OWN pair, because I KNOW he'll steal mine!

I haven't braved the stores to purchase our school supplies yet. I'm a little afraid...

Wow! Carter has quite a mouth full of teeth. Remember when I got there and he just got the ones on the sides of his middle ones? We weren't sure if those were even in yet....remember how we felt for them?! What a difference a summer makes!

Enjoy your school supplies....a bouquet of freshly sharpened pencils! :0

Love the polka dots. You did good. :) Looks like you had fun school supply shopping. By the way, every first grade girl needs an umbrella. :)

I love school supplies! Seriously, I love all of 'em. I LOVED picking out all my new stuff every year when I was in school. I am kind of disappointed Duncan doesn't really need anything for kindergarten, although I guess it's good for the budget, right? Sigh, next year I'll get to have fun.
