School supply shopping
Shayna and I went to Walgreens last night (Monday) to get the rest of her school supplies (including 2 book covers which we found out she needed on wed. and thurs.). We found all the things she needed (YAY!) including the stretchy hard to find book covers (and 2 for $1.99.)
We also got a new lunch box or BAG for Shayna. Unbeknownst to me, lunch BOXES are OUT. Lunch BAGS are IN. and not only that, but Shayna is now TOO OLD for anything "kiddie." So I had to retire the beloved Madeline lunchbox, which served its purpose well from K to 2nd grade. ML has been relegated to a makeshift lost crayon box and joins the ranks along with the Barbie and Van Gogh tin boxes (Van Gogh sunflowers never made the cut- it was too small- very dega chic but extremely impractical). So now Shayna has a gorgous yet still girly (thankfully!!) lunch BAG. Very functional with lots of organized zippered sections. Manny commented at it still being girly (as in Skyler can't use it eventually) and we proceeded to inform him that girls don't stop being girly (even in high school, college, and beyond).
One of the items she still needed was a pouch for her colored pencils (she has I think THE most organized desk in the 3rd grade). First we found a nice soft plastic clear pink one for $1.99.Then I saw what to me looked like a more practical one, because when you opened the side it had a little "drawer" like bottom that slid out. It was also cheaper at $1.29. It was very similar to the other one, just plain soft plastic. Shayna didn't want that one. She said "that pencil case gives me the creeps." She explained that when pulling the drawer part out it gave her a sensation on her fingers that she didn't like.
