Spent a small fortune on back to school stuff today. I HATE shopping most of the time. Everyone else in the state was out shopping today, too. I told Ashton I was going to have to sell him when we got home to make up for what we spent today. I asked him how much he thought he was worth. He said we could probably get $20 for him. $15 for Brookie and $10 for Beans. Haha. that doesn't even scratch the surface of what their stuff cost. I would never sell my kids anyway :)
The kids did not need new clothes for the school year, and I was not going to replenish their wardrobe just because that is the 'thing to do' in a lot of places. I instead gave the kids the choice of buying one new piece of clothing to start the year, or buy a book. (you know my love of books.) Two out of the three chose books.
Brookie chose a more 'fun' book with many small ponies. She and Cailee are going through Petshop/Pony phase. She was very excited.
Cailee wanted to get a new dress. She is going through a phase where she likes to wear dresses and skirts. B went through this same phase when she was Cailee's age. It's fun. This is the dress she chose after looking through many, many dresses. She is a picky little girl.
Ashton chose a book-- no surprise there. The surprise was the book he ended up choosing. He is interested in symbols and different culture beliefs. He was very excited to begin his research.
I had to throw this one in... Cailee was quiet in her room for a long time. I sent the girls to their rooms to clean before the were allowed to go play. This is the vision that met us when we checked on her. She was putting on tights (in 105 degree weather) and trying on all her shoes and wearing her hat. Maybe I should let her dress me...
