You just spent most of your supply money at Walmart this week... While your husband was at Scout camp I went shopping to get stocked up for supplies I'll need this year at school. My cart was seriously loaded with just stuff for school! Yikes!

While at Walmart shopping for school supplies you are digging through the boxes of notebooks and folders to get enough of the color you need. I needed/wanted to get 25 red notebooks and 25 blue folders. Then someone walks by and says, "What grade do you teach?" yup!

You go crazy for good deals on school stuff. While at Walmart I found these little packs of 6 mini highlighters for 97 cents. So I bought 25 of them, well I paid for 25 but only made it home with 24?

Then when I got home, I sorted them by color and put the colors together in the packs. I mean who gives a table of 1st graders a pack of multi colored high lighters? I'd never hear the end of it.. "Mrs. Shaffer I want the pink but so and so took it first.. I want the blue but he does too..." Get my point? So If I have a pack of 6 yellow and hand it out to a table of kiddos there's nothing to argue about, they all get a yellow!

You 2 year old is sorting by color, counting 6 mini highlighters for you and building with the containers. Ya, K was pretty entertained with helping sort, count, and then stack the highlighter containers. Poor girl has to live with an OCD 1st grade teacher as her mom.
