Getting Ready!

For a few weeks now, Erin's been chomping at the bit to go shopping for school supplies, and she was thrilled when I heard this morning from a teacher-friend at her school that the supply lists were posted. She insisted that our first stop this morning be the school so she could make a copy of the list, and then we could hit the stores. It's incredible how long these lists were (I don't remember needing all this stuff when I was in 5th grade, and I'm not even sure we needed a binder then, let alone a 3-INCH one!), but we actually managed to get most of it in one stop this afternoon. What a stash! I'm glad we still have a few weeks to enjoy before she has to lug all this to school! That'll give us time to get everything else she'll need, including clothes, shoes, yada-yada-yada. Yikes.

And of course, as I was setting up the shot, Mia just had to get in on the action. Some things never change!
