School Supply Shopping

Today was the day to buy those pesky school supplies.  I hate shopping for school supplies.  It makes me mean and crabby.  I decided that the girls were old enough to do it on their own, so we grabbed mom and ran off to WalMart.  The girls headed in behind their grandma.

The girls both grabbed a shopping cart and a supply list, and Monica found the supply section right away.

 

They found a bin full of great bargains, and didn't leave until they had checked them out fully.

Natalie checks the list again and again, so she won't miss anything.

Monica was quite pleased with finding of the right color scissors.  Green is all the rage this season.

Each "beep" of the register sounds hollow to me.  I can almost feel the cash depleting from my account.

And Monica's cart isn't even unloaded yet!

It just kept coming and coming, beeping and beeping.  I was getting weak in the knees.

We got home with quite the pile of stuff. 

But, I mean seriously, isn't this a tad much?

I need to go lie down.

LOL at your mom. :)

Well, you know how I feel about the supplies. Here is my question for you...how much do you have to pay on registration day for "fees"?

It's crazy this time of year...then they quarter and dollar us the rest of the year.

If you read my journal a couple of days ago, you will see that I was crabby buying school supplies too.  LOL.  It is a cute entry though.  Good luck with the school season.  Summer just seemed so short didn't it?
