We are still in our first month of school, we have regular school and our youngest is in Pre-K, and already have so much going on in both!! The best part is that it ALL costs money!! We started with picture day and yes, my daughter in Pre-K had picture day. They should be coming in soon. So, there goes $100 for pictures! You have to make sure you get enough for all the family you know ;).
Next, we got the fundraisers! Kaylee, in Pre-K, even has a fundraiser!! She is selling coupon books for $25 each, and Dillon is selling magazine subscriptions for the middle school which average $20-$25. So, of course we have to buy from each, then starts the phone calls and visits to the family, friends and neighbors.
Now, today we have Bike Day at my daughters Preschool where she took in her bike and helmet to ride with her school. She was so excited and well she already has a bike, so this is a free one! Also today though, the middle school is having a carnival and so Dill woke up with his hands out...LOL. I do have to say though, I drove past and was actually jealous!! That fair looked so fun I wanted to go!! We never had those when I was little!!Anyways, all these events had me thinking about how much the start of school really costs! I mean, this is after the school clothes shopping, new shoes, book bags, binders and school supply shopping! No wonder we parents like the summer so much too!!
Have a great school year!! The time seems to go by faster and faster so cherish every minute of it!!
