Since we only had 3 weeks off since the end of our school year and we had been vacationing or entertaining company the entire time, the week before school was spent organizing our house. We cleaned and straightened closets and dresser drawers. Joe was busy putting together shoe racks for closets and lockers for the back entryway. We threw out old, broken, and unnecessary toys and art projects. We went through all of our old clothes, trying them on to see if they still fit, packing away the ones that were too small, throwing out the faded and holey items, and making lists of replacements we needed to buy. We hit the outlets buying last-minute school clothes, shoes, and necessities. We bought school supplies and organized them in brand new backpacks. We labeled our backpacks and lunch boxes. The first day of school outfits were chosen and everything was ready to go. We were excited to begin a new year in a brand new school.
And the best part was Jake and Carlee's funny comments during our organizing . . .
Me: How did the neck get so stretched out in this cute sweater?
Jake: Uh, Mom, have you seen the size of my head?
Me: Carlee, where did these come from? They don't belong in here.
Carlee: I didn't do it, Mom. I think a bad guy came in and put them there while I was asleep!

Ya, there were a few of those "huge head" shirts in the pile of clothes you passed on to me! Made me laugh!
I really like reading the things that your munchkins say. They are pretty funny!
