A BOY IS

TRUTH with dirt on his face,

BEAUTY with a cut on his finger,

WISDOM with bubble gum in his hair,

and theHOPE of the future with a
frog in his pocket.

LITTLE GIRLS

Little girls are made of daisies and butterflies and soft kitty cat purrs

And all the precious memories of times that once were.

Little girls are made of angel's wings and giggles and a firefly's glow

And all the happy feelings, deep inside, that we all know.

Little girls are made of cinnamon and bubbles and fancy white pearls

And snowflakes and rainbows and ballerina twirls.

Little girls are made of sunshine and cupcakes and fresh morning dew,

And these are the reasons, little one, why everyone loves you.

I'm gonna be Broke!

After paying for school fees!

Good grief! It's crazy!

$75.00 Activity fee for Justin and a huge list of supplies. Although I do have a ton of supplies from last years Staples Sales but each child needs 8 glue sticks???? is she gonna box them all and dole them out during the year??? and 2 different kinds of reams of paper ~ the paper sounds more like a teacher wish list item. Those darn budget cuts!

Nic, this is going to be a list:
$35.00 Activity Fee
$15.00 Gym clothes
$50.00 laptop insureance
$100.00 deductable if lap top breaks - it better never break!
Labs are $15.00 each and a school shirt is $10.00
Ouch!!!

OK enough complaining... but YIKES! I can't imagine paying this when you have a big family!

I save money all year for back to school. Of course during the school year then they have all these fundraisers. It never ends.
