I like the evenly spaced red and white stripes.
What a good find on that fleece. I guess that you aren't hiding it anymore??? What a great find on the jeans! $3.48 is still a good deal. Once I found jeans for $1 per pair at Walmart. They were small sizes (too little for my girls) but I bought enough sizes so that my SIL didn't have to buy jeans for my niece (who was about 2 months old at the time) until she turned 3!
We have also started back to school shopping. We went to Staples on Monday to get a bunch of their 1 cent and 25 cent items. I took DD with me because they limit you to two of each thing so I took 2 and gave her 2. She's a customer too
Then when I was in Walmart yesterday we picked up a few more things. The only things we really still need are binders, divider and filler paper.
The school says that the kids need these very expensive calculators ($100 each!!!) for school this year but I am going to wait and make sure before I spend that kind of money.
Last year I finally got smart and ordered the LL Bean backpacks that have the lifetime guarantee. They cost more but I was so tired of having cheap backpacks that wear out and break halfway through the year! The LL Bean backpacks look as good as they did at the start of last year so I won't be spending money on new backpacks this year.
At the girls' middle school the big in thing is to have a Vera Bradley lunchbox. One day next week we are going to take a trip to the Vera Bradley outlet so that my younger daughter can get hers. I could probably sew those Vera Bradley bags for less than half of what they charge but it wouldn't be the same. Middle school is all about fitting in!
Both girls leave for sleep away camp in about 10 days. Then I will have some free time and I will be able to get some sewing done!
