School Shopping

Well today was the day...the day we went school clothes shopping. We (well, me, the kids, and my Mom) went out to Ontario Mills today. We hit all the "big" stores, like Children's Place, Stride Rite, Disney, and Sketchers. Well, sketchers was a new one but it was "fun" just the same. It's always hard to take the kids, coop them up, run them ragged and then wonder why they don't behave. I have to admit, that they did better than I thought they would do. Meghan had a hard time with all the walking, she got a bit antsy. But she made it the whole way. The boys did really well, Caleb was great. He did wander a bit but other than that, he did well. Stephen was wonderful, he was such a great help. He was really excited to get some new clothes for school, but he is at that awkward age, where he wants new clothes but at the same time he isn't sure that he wants the same stuff that he "little brother" would like. He is growing up too fast! He did get a star wars shirt, it is pretty awesome. It's YODA, we finally found one at the Lego store. The hardest thing was trying to find them all shoes. We ended up at Sketchers, and got them there. The boys actually got the same shoes, Caleb has brown and Stephen has blue. Meghan and Kaylie got matching shoes too!

Speaking of Meghan and Kaylie, while we were in JCPenny, looking for uniform stuff for Kay, Meghan decided that she liked/wanted the same jumper that we got for Kay. She is weird. What can I say, I guess she does that a lot. She always picks out a skirt or dress, and Kay...well she likes her jeans and t-shirts. Where Meghan got her "girlieness" is way beyond me...Kay is more on my level than May. I guess she (May) is channeling her inner Auntie Jenny!!

Well, we are well on our way to being ready for school. Which is a good thing, especially since we start on Tuesday. Happy Birthday Meghan!! What a way to spend your birthday huh? Your 1st day of school. Well, I know that I am excited, and I think that the kids are as well. So here's hoping for a Great School Year... at a great new school!
