Last week was my kids started school and it went great!  This is the first year both kids are in full time.  It is bitter sweet for me because my babies are growing up, but I have been able to get so much more done during the day!  Avery’s elementary school offers a Pre-K program that Braden is going to this year and he loves it.  He feels like a big kid going to his sister’s school and seeing her and all her friends in the hall.  It is just so sweet.  I love that our school offers this program because they way their birthdays fall they would have only been in school together for 4th and Kinder.  Now at least they get 1 extra year.  I was worried there would be tears the first week because he is more shy, but he handled it like a champ and said he had the best time!  Makes this Mama’s heart so happy!

We did most of our back to school shopping at Walmart this year (see the things they picked here) and it was amazing because my kiddos found things they loved and I loved the prices!  They wore an outfit from Walmart pretty much everyday last week and we actually went back this weekend and got some more items to add to their closet!  It is so nice getting ready in the morning and there is no arguing over what to wear!!  They picked out their clothes, I approved and they love getting dressed in the morning!  #winning

You can seriously find so many amazing things that fit tons of styles and I am blown away by the quality.  Avery tends to like more stylish things, but they MUST BE COMFORTABLE and Braden loves more of the athletic wear type of clothing.  The prices are so good I told my kids if they found something they loved to grab it in multiple colors!!  We found lots of great things in the stores, but there is an even larger assortment online and most things ship FREE!
