Back to school

So it is getting closer to that time of year. We went back to school shopping yesterday. First we went to Walmart, and the clothes shopping took quite a while because Lindsey isn't into Hananah Montana, and so the picks were a little slim. She did find some cute stuff tho. I will post pics later. The Camera battery is charging.
I bought some clothes for Westley. I don't know what I'm going to do with him. He is now in size 2t shirts, but 24month pants, and even then we have to roll them up a bit. Well, that just means they'll last a while right?
Lindsey didn't like any of the backpacks at Walmart, so we had to go to Target for that. And of course Westley had a huge tantrum in the store. I don't remember myself ever being that bad, but if I ever was "I AM SO SORRY MOM AND DAD"
Now we have to wait for Lindsey to get her class assignment so we know what supplies to get.
I got myself some supplies for the English class I am taking this semester. With my Brother-in-law's help I've figured out what classes I need to take at the Junior College so I can transfer as a Liberal Studies - Elementary teacher preparation major. I'm a little behind in English and Math, but when I transfer my units that I took WAY BACK WHEN at Stanislaus, I will be ahead in some of the other subjects.
I'm also taking the Materworks Chorale class again. We are doing Andrew Lloyd Webber's Requiem, and another peice we haven't gotten yet. It feels really good to be a part of a choir again.

so that's Back to school. I promise I will try to play catch up when I have pictures to post.
love you all
