Back to School preparations

The preparations for back to school have begun in our household. This the first year we will have two in school, so this year it is double the supplies, back to school shoes, and school fees. We have started getting them ready by going to bed at their normal bedtime for during the school year. Mackenzie is still not used to it, as she still sits up in bed, plays with her toy horse, or her DS when its not taken away. She has even figured out that she can sit up far enough in her bed to where she can watch the TV in the living room without us seeing her if I look around the corner. Kylie goes to bed and within 15 minutes will be asleep.


We finally got the school supply list the other day and Mackenzie has stopped her worrying because we didn't know what she needed yet to bring. It made her day when I told her that we got it a few days ago. This year yet again, all we have to take is cleaning supplies more or less. I like how the school does a supply fee for the pre-k through 2nd grade, that way all students have the same crayons, folders pencils etc, etc, etc. I bet it makes it easier on the teachers to not have their students complaining because someone else has a Hannah Montana pencil or something else like that.


We will go in the next few weeks and get some back to school outfits and new shoes for the girls, and of course Gabryle will get a few new outfits I am sure along with new shoes. We can't leave the little guy out! We have already started browsing through the selections of clothes for the girls, and Kylie is excited because she is on the borderline of being able to wear 5t clothes in the little girls, and the extra small size in the big girls clothes, so she can now wear a lot of the things like Mackenzie can wear. All she knows though, is that she would like her clothes to have some pink in them, and possibly Hello Kitty or Hannah Montana. Mackenzie thinks she should get some Justin Beiber and Hannah Montana clothing for her to wear. We shall see what they finally pick out when we do go to do our shopping. The only rule I gave the two, is they must not pick out the same shirt as one another. I already have trouble getting the right clothes to the right dresser between the two of them!!


I'm sure the transition once school starts will go smoothly with the two girls. Mackenzie will have no problem I'm sure with getting back used to getting up on time in the morning and getting ready. Kylie will have a little getting used to, but I think she will do great once we start! I'll make sure and keep you updated on that!!!


Till Next Time!!
