Wow I can’t believe how quickly summer flew by. It just seems like yesterday I was blogging about the activities I had planned for the Eric this summer. Just Wow. I have yet to get his school supplies, which if my calculations are correct will run about 50 bucks. I personally think that’s insanely expensive for school supplies. Things have changed so much since I was in elementary school.

So I’m the proud mother of a 3rd grader!! I’m excited for him because this year he goes to a brand new school. The way our school district is.. they keep the kinder, 1st and 2nd graders in one school and 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders go to a different school. I think that’s kinda cool because it keeps the older kids and the younger kids separated. He feels like such a big boy.

I haven’t gotten all of his school clothes yet. I need to get on that. I’ve gotten him like 5 new shirts and a new hoodie for when it gets cold.. and a new pair of shoes. He picked out some Tony Hawk shoes this year. His jeans from last year still fit, so basically I need to get him some new socks, underwear, and some shorts. Oh, and a new backpack. The next 2 weeks will be hectic, that’s for sure.
