(**NOTE** I wrote this a couple days ago and thought blogger screwed up and erased it. Duh...it auto saved. Anyway, here is it for your viewing pleasure. First day of school was today, hopefully a post on that will be coming soon.)
Summer vacation that is! School starts Wednesday and I have to admit, I have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, WOOHOO!! "B" is starting Kindergarten full day, and "T" is starting a new preschool where he will be gone 4 mornings a week! This means I'll only have one child at home 4 mornings a week. I am looking forward to that. I laugh when I look back on the days of having only one child, and how hard I thought it was. If I only knew what was in store for me... I guess that's why I never had twins, I needed a slow adjustment to "crazy".
I am also nervous about school starting because I'm going to miss the little stinkers. As hard as it is keeping them entertained and behaving, they are fun and pretty dang cute and I love them. I guess that's why I had kids in the first place right? haha... Anyway, I just hope they behave at school ("T" mostly) and that they don't get picked on or don't pick on other kids ("T" again).
Can you believe that I have ALL of "B"'s school clothes for this year, and didn't have to go shopping at all? Yes, thanks to my obsession with clearance rack shopping all year long, I had his ENTIRE school wardrobe completely taken care of. This includes 5 pairs of jeans, and about 10 shirts, which I probably spent under $50 for total. I must say, I am very proud of myself. Especially considering the fact that he seriously skipped an entire size this summer alone. That kid is huge!! Not even 6 years old and already wearing a size 7?! Yikes.
I am doing a lot of reorganizing around my house, which has been fun and stressful. Can I just say that I HATE clutter? Yeah. I do. If I wasn't married and didn't have kids, my house would be perfectly clean and clutter-free. But...instead I'll just buy lots of plastic storage bins and cabinet shelves. Out of sight, out of mind right?
We also are putting "B" and "T" into the same room. It is not going well. In fact, I'm off to enforce the law right now. GO TO SLEEP ALREADY!!!
Grrr...

Dang, that's pretty awesome you got their school clothes that cheap! I think it will be a happy day when I've got only one at home for four days out of the week, just sweeeet. Oh and yes, I am SURE you look how you did when you got married ;) 9 years ain't nothin! RIGHT??
We must think alike. I cleaned out the kids closets and had practically everything they needed for school stuffed away. I knew I had bought stuff but didn't realize how much! The size thing is funny too. Logan skipped 6's this year and went from 5 to 7! How do you skip a size? The worst is shoes, I feel so bad when I discover they've been wearing too small a size and have to skip one!
I need to learn how to do things on a budget. I am very impressed with your skills right now.
And you grow them big;) You have very healthy boys!
