It's that time of year!

OK, so no pictures yet. Sorry....

But I'm finally done painting the room - no more walking around with white and blue paint in my hair, looking like a Dr. Seuss character. The good part of walking around with white strands of hair is that now when my children point out my gray hair I just tell them "It's paint."

And they totally accept that explanation - Ha!

My babies start school on Monday - where did the summer go? Olivia will be starting her last year of elementary school and Sydney will be in second grade.

Wait, that can't be right......

*SIGH*

This is the last year that both of them will be in the same school until Olivia is a senior in high school.

That doesn't seem right either.....


We went school shopping last weekend and, unfortunately, Target just doesn't cut it anymore for Olivia.

We had to go to Aeropostle and American Eagle Outfitters.

Luckily they were having 50% off, which is the only reason she got a $25 t-shirt (for $12.50).

I think it would be cheaper to pay for diapers and formula and daycare than it will be to clothe a tween for the next few years.
