Back to school shopping

This week my obsession is back to school shopping.

The twins will be in 6th grade this year, which in our new city is middle school. And middle school, in our district, means no school supply list that you are supposed to bring with you on the first day. Instead they will find out what they need from their specific teachers on the first day of school. So we’ve got the basics: paper, pencils, pens, etc. But we’ll get the rest in another couple of weeks. (Maybe everything will be on sale then?)

Our new district also has a different dress code. This will be the first time that the twins wear a uniform to school. We’ve been buying navy and white polo shirts and trying to get ready for the change.
