Back to school shopping

Posted in school n stuff

 hehehehehe....lol.....I can't help but laugh....

all the public school ppl are shopping for clothes and lunch boxes and school supplies....well our shopping is  little different than theirs isn't it..

pencils..lots off pencils...the couch seems to devour them...

well yesterday while at wally I stocked up...BIG TIME

not on pencils...not on glue sticks, not on spirals(boy do we use a lot of spirals).....besides I already bought all those...LONG time ago....but on "lunch box goodies"....lol...as I was walking the store the thought was running through my head that what I was buying was all things I used to  put in the kids lunch boxes.. 

  • apple sauce cups
  • pudding cups
  • peanut butter\cheese crackers
  • fruit cups
  • juice boxes
  • beef jerky
  • water bottles
  • cheese sticks
  • 100 calorie snack bags
  • etc...I bought LOTS of goodies

now you may be asking WHY are you buying all this...well...last year during activities the kids always wanted a drink, a snack..a "something" inbetween bowling & guitar, or AG & bowling or whatever the case may be....BUT THIS YEAR.....shaking head...NOT HAPPENING.....NO, NO, NO....not happening...

they can pick a snack & a drink from the "snack box"...literally  yes a snack box it is sitting above the washer .....I have a small collapsible ice chest....the snacks are going with us this year I REFUSE to spend money on snacks everyweek....and the snack box is JUST for days we go out of the house....

the kids are incharge of their own snack & drink if they want it cold it is THEIR responsibility to put it in the fridge the night before...that it going to be added to their evening chore list..

I figure those small little convience items will totally outweigh the cost of buying eveyone a drink & snack while out & about. during our activities......and believe me when we leave bowling we are ALL thirsty...and the bowling alley's drinks are NOT CHEAP.
