Oh man!! That is crazy!! Did you make Ron take on another job to pay for supplies?! :)
Glad to hear that the kiddos are all doing well though!
OMG, that is a huge list of school supplies!! Hope the kids have a great school year!
Dang Nan! I didn't get your message about visiting until tonight and we went up to Antioch last night. :(
We should definitely try to arrange something sometime this year while I am still up in Chicago. I would love to meet my blogging buddy! :)
That would totally be fun. Maybe Ron and I could even plan on a night in the city and meet up with you. We should try to connect. I will let you know when we can fit that in.
And what was the grand total of that? Glad they are settling in well.
WOW! Coming from a teacher who spent over $200 on school supplies for students (that aren't my kids) I APPLAUD YOU! What a great mother to provide EVERYTHING on every single one of your childrens supply lists! :) I just wanna know how much time you spent calculating how many of everything you got!! :)
We condensed the list before we even left for shopping! I am not a fan of shopping to begin with so I needed to get in and out as quick as possible.
Nan, where are you?!?!? We all miss you on here!!!!
