Ahhh, can you smell the new pencils?
Today, I had to go by the school supply aisles in our Wal-Mart for some notebooks but when I got there two of my girls physically grabbed hold of me and stopped me from going down the aisle. I couldn't believe it. They were physically holding me back and they kept saying things like, "No, Mom. Don't do it." "Dad will be so mad at you if you go down this aisle."
Yeah, I guess I am that bad. lol I had to promise them that I had a purpose for going down the aisle and that we were only going to buy four notebooks and nothing else.
That was the plan anyway! I ended up getting a case of notebooks...but nothing else! Promise. ;-)
Anyway, as I am thinking about the new school year I am planning out what we will use for subjects. I believe that I have everything we need but I won't know for sure until I sit down to plan it all out. lol

Plus, we will add in whatever we get from The TOS Crew. It is going to be a great year. I am excited to start practicing on transcripts and tracking classes in preparation for high school. I am going to be reading Lee Binz-The Homescholar's books to get ready and build my confidence.**
That is all I can remember for the moment. I think I have covered all the subjects but my mind is spinning at the moment. I am looking at those stacks of brand new books and I can't wait to get started. lol
But...we have to wait until the first week of August. ;-)

Hmm, I'll definitely have to check out those notebooks. If I time it right, I can get the ones my kids like for $.10!
:)
I can't wait to head out to the BTS sales!
We'll be using TOG Year 3 too :) Also, can't wait to see what we get from the TOS Cruise! Woot!
LOL! I can totally relate to your school supply isle story! My husband keeps telling his mom how expensive homeschooling is because I always have to buy new supplies! It's like the homeschool moms candy isle! ;)
I have never heard of Pentime...off to check it out now. :)
Looks like a great year! I know what you mean about the school supply isle. . . I'm always, "Look at those stickies! I could use PINK staples! That's such a great deal on glue!" Lol!
