I took Dylan for his registration day today for 5th grade! WOW time just flies by, for those of you mom’s out there that have little ones just enjoy your kids while they are home with you! I can’t believe my boy is growing up and as he puts it “almost a teenager!”
We’ve been putting off getting Dylan’s school supplies and man was that a dumb idea! I had to go to at least 5 different stores to get all the things that they say he needs but I know he’ll likely not use! Doesn’t it upset you that they ask you to have specific BRANDS of items too? I couldn’t believe the list they gave us and frankly I don’t know what kind of 5th grade they’re running but 12 notebooks, plus binders and paper, PLUS duotangs and paper!! The kid better be getting a degree this year! I don’t think I needed that much stuff for High School.
Oh I remember the good old days when Dylan went to a school where they just collected a set fee and then supplied EVERYTHING your kids would need for the year. Now that was smart and much more reasonable price wise to because the school got big discounts for volume purchases. I think I need to join the PTA this year - in my spare time of course.
