Your kid needs #2 pencils, erasers, probably a pack of colored pencils, a blue medium tip ink pen, 3 ring binders, lined paper, folders, calculator, gym clothes and a backpack. Your kid might also need a ruler, protractor, compass, headphones and thumbdrive.
Next up: school clothes shopping
A day at the mall of “you are not wearing that to school and you don't need the $75 jeans.” She'll come down on the jeans, because she really is fine with the Holister or AE jeans that are less. I'm on to her— it's her bargaining chip! But then the skirts and shirts— ugh.
Luckily jr high girl likes my taste and says get whatever!
Oh what fun family bonding! Somehow husband will have a last minute "thing" to take care of to avoid the mall at all costs!
