free shoes. free earrings.

That is what I got from Kohl’s.

Last week we were trying to find the last pair of school shoes for Carly.  We came across a coupon for $10 off a $10 or more purchase from Kohl’s.  Without hesitation we decided to make that our first shoe stop.  Why not?

So we ended up finding this cute pair of “dressy” shoes for the girl.  They were on sale for $6.

It ended up being an extra special trip for me because with four dollars to spend I found these amazing earrings.  You cannot imagine how long it took me to spend those four free dollars.  Poor Husband.  He was so bored.

Speaking of school shopping…

We ordered all their clothes online this year.  I waited for sales and saved about $40.  I spent less this year than in any year past.  Which is not usually that much.  I got four pair of shoes for $37 at payless and their bogo event.  Needless to say I feel accomplished.  I am working hard to save all my pennies.

I sat with the kids while they pointed out what they wanted to order.  They has a lot of fun making the decisions.  I must say they made some good buys which surprised me a bit.  This is what Colt says that he is going to wear for picture day.  I think it is funny that he is thinking about that.  Especially since I never order those photos. In the last year Colt’s style of clothing has changed drastically.  It went from all Nike and and athletic to this style with his new chucks (actually airwalk from payless).  What a kid.  Did I tell you that Carly’s feet grew three sizes over the summer?  Holy cow.  She is one size away from me.

Tonight we have meet the teacher at the new school.  I think the kids are going to love it.  We also bought the last package of construction paper that we needed.  It took forever to find.  I can ‘t believe that I now know what sulfite construction paper is in comparison to the stuff at walmart.

Anyway.

Are your kids ready for school?  Are you ready?  Something that I am going to be thinking about this year… Home school… is it for us?  Thoughts?
