How in the world can it be August already? I am so not ready for it to be this late in the summer already. Time just goes by too fast during the summer time. My babies are getting ready to start first grade and fourth grade.

We stopped up at the kids' school to see who their teachers are going to be for this school year. Michaela is a little bummed out. She did not get the teacher she wanted. But, she is satisfied with the teacher she did get. She and Anikca are not in the same class this year. Their teacher from last year told them this would probably happen because they did not want all the SOAR kids in the same class again. The one little girl who just bothers both Anikca and Michaela all the time is in Anikca's class this year.

Michaela told Caleb that he got a "nice" teacher. He wanted her to show him the picture of his teacher on the wall where they have all of the teachers' pictures, but Michaela could not remember exactly which picture it was.

While we were at the school we grabbed a supply list for Michaela. We were able to find Caleb's list at Wal-mart, but they did not have the 3rd or 4th grade lists there. Then, we headed to Wal-mart to get their school supplies.

What a mad house. I thought if we went in the morning we'd not have so much crowd to deal with since it's tax free weekend. One of the Wal-mart employees said people started coming in at midnight for the tax free sales. I bet it got even worse this evening and will be like that tomorrow, too. I'm glad we got it out of the way today.
