School Supplies for Two



School Supplies for Two, originally uploaded by lalagirl.

We made a trip to Wal-Mart last night for school supplies. I feel like I was cutting it close, since the kids start kindergarten in just a couple of days! I refuse to pay “off season” prices, though, and I wanted to wait until the seasonal school supplies appeared in the stores. They were JUST putting it out yesterday at Wal-Mart, so we got first pick!

I got a bunch of stuff for our house, too – you can’t beat boxes of crayons for $.20 each, especially the way we go through them!

Don’t you love those little lunch boxes? Awww.

What is a Jazz apple? I don’t know, but I couldn’t find any Pink Ladies and these seemed like a reasonable facsimile. I’ll let you know how they are.

My folks were over yesterday along with Paul’s parents and we grilled some steaks. It was sunny but not hot, breezy but not windy, and I had a glorious day. I love spending time with my family!

Whenever we get together like this, my dad, Paul’s stepmother, and I always polish off a bottle or two of wine. He brought over this new one we hadn’t tried before – it’s called Big Ass Zin, and it was actually REALLY super good. And check out that cute label! I love it.

Thumbs up all around from the patio.
