I LOVE this time of the year. Even though public school won't start here for quite some time (after Labor Day) the stores have already stocked their shelves with packs of notebook paper, folders, notebooks, scissors, glue sticks, lunch boxes, backpacks, etc. As a homeschooler I have found out that we don't need many of these items to be replaced yearly which can take some of the fun out of the whole back to school time of the year. Actually, the only items I think we may need to replenish this year are glue sticks.
I guess I was determined to participate in the fun this year, so I convinced myself to buy 8yo a cute backpack at Target recently. And then, well, ya know, I might as well let the other girls buy a backpack too. After all, we do use them when we go on overnighters. I packed the girls into the car this afternoon and drug them all over town looking at each store's backpack options. Of course, they decided to keep their first picks, but it was fun to oooh and aaaah over this year's latest back to school goodies.
