Back to School Shopping.

I love back to school shopping.  I know.  Call me weird.  But I love school supplies, I love sales, I love the smell of new pencils and crayons.  Ahhh...  

(hmm..  ----pause -----  maybe I am destined to be a teacher one day?....  interesting thought)

Anyway, I anxiously await the school supply lists that come out.  I love traipsing the aisles to check off our list and more.  So, when they start loading the aisles of Target in July with folders and such, I am there.  :)  I know.  I'm a dork.  

So needless to say, the girls have all their school supplies by now.  But Brenna still needed a backpack this year.  Different school, different arrangement and setup and what not.  This year, no lunch box, but a backpack is needed. So, on top of the other fun supplies to get, we got to pick out a backpack too!  (Brooke's using the same one from last year)

And, Ok...who are we kidding?  Its a dolled up $5 backpack from WalMart.  Seriously.  I wanted a small one for her and the 'small' ones they make for preschoolers equates to not sturdy.  They are flimsy and cloth and the straps are stringy.  So I found this one at WalMart, perfect size and it was only $4.88!  Yippee!  I took it to a local embroidery shop and had them put her name in 'rainbow' colors real cutesy and add the butterfly for a girly look and voila!  Cute preschool backpack that's actually her size yet still sturdy!  Love.  :)

(sorry, not the best picture, but you get the idea.  And you KNOW I'll be taking some cute back-to-school pics later you'll get to see more of it in)
