So, the first week of school was pretty uneventful. I briefly explained in my last post that Elizabeth's school got shut down at the end of the last school year due to budget cuts. The district decided that they would bus the kids from the old school to the new school. Right now the whole bus situation is a joke. Last Saturday we got E's bus pass in the mail.

We got some new pencils, erasers, pencil sharpener, ruler and folders. Oh, and heaven forbid I forget to list the pencil box!! LOL I'm going to wait until after school starts to get the rest of what she might need. Today we went to E's new school to meet her teacher and find her new classroom. It's a really nice school compared to her last two schools! I think this just might turn out to be a good thing. The school she went to last year closed due to budget cuts. I haven't been doing much scrapping. I'm not sure why. Blocked maybe? I have a few that I've done in the last month. (all the layouts are linked) Let me s...
