ALL DONE!

We officially have all our school supplies! The lady at the store yesterday was chuckling a little as she rang up our stuff, including the 946274 WIDE-lined spiral notebooks and 2435 pocket folders. I find it interesting that now Thing One is in 6th grade, she will be taking Spanish. And it's not an option. All students at our school are required to take Spanish, grades 6-8.

Highly interesting. I mean, just being devil's Advocate, here, but what if she wanted to take French? Or German? Or Russian? On the other hand, I think it's cool she'll have three years of Spanish under her belt before she even enters high school, and Hubby (who lived in Argentina for two years) thinks it's AWESOME she's taking Spanish, I guess I'm just surprised the school makes it mandatory. It's a Blue Ribbon school, so I'm trusting they know what they're doing.

Anyway, now, on to the clothes. I have one boy who grows like a weed, and another boy who grows like a cactus. As in, hardly at all. I imagine one of these days he'll take off and shoot upwards like his brother has, but he's been in the same size jeans for nearly three years! And then I have a daughter who is going to be taller than me very soon, she's already 5'5 with size 7 feet, and thank HEAVEN she wants to play volleyball and basketball, because after what I saw at her camps, she'll be perfect for both.

We'll go buy clothes next weekend. That should be fun. I don't even want to think about how much we'll spend on four kids. (Thing Four is only two but you know Hubby will insist we get him some "Fall" stuff while we're there.) Getting a headache just thinking about it...

I am sooo glad I have a printer, now! I was trying to get my computer to communicate with the printer wirelessly, and for some reason, my firewall vetoed that idea, so I got frustrated and just MOVED the darn thing into the office with me, and plugged it into my own computer. I was getting tired of emailing myself documents and running over to another room and printing them. NO MORE. I love it!

The kids were a bit miffed, but I pulled out my old HP PSC printer, and hooked it up, and they're happy as clams. They like to print up Nintendo papercrafts, so they need a printer.

Time to run! Happy Tuesday Toast Day!
