Getting ready for school

This morning I cleaned a neighbor's house and then the kid's and I went to Pizitz so that Joshua could set up his locker and practice his locker combination.  I cannot believe that I have child in middle school!!  And that he has a LOCKER! :-)

We set up his locker and then he practiced his combination lock for a little while.  Hopefully it will go smoothly when he starts school on Thursday.  Watching all the girls set up their lockers made me thankful I have a boy going this year.  You should have seen all the decorations, rugs, wallpaper etc... that they used.  The lockers looked VERY cute but it sure was easier to put in a shelf and a couple magnetic holders. :-)

When we were done, we went to one of the gyms and helped clean up the supply sale that had been going on for a few days.   It is the only fundraiser the school has, so we are encouraged to buy the supplies there.  The prices weren't that bad, and I have to admit I wasn't looking forward to driving all around looking for specific items, so yesterday, we bought Joshua's supplies there.  It sure made it simple!  I think all 4 of us enjoyed cleaning up and we had fun visiting with friends while we did it.

 Tonight our Sunday School Class had a party at someone's house and we had hamburgers and hotdogs.  We enjoyed visiting and catching up with friends while the girls had fun swimming in the pool!  Joshua didn't want to swim but had fun playing ball with some of the boys and watching the kids swim.  

I am so thankful for friends and for the schools that our children have the privilege of attending!
