Found out that my prepayment to next years' property taxes isn't an option available until 12/3. I've decided to use the money allocated for that ($250) and purchase a set of bunkbeds at Sam's Club which are $299. We're redoing kids rooms and trying to free up square footage in the boys' room. This summer we spent $220 on new comforters (three were purchased as Kohl's on sale and with the 30% off and Kohl's bucks, and two were from Walmart).
We're back into the second full week of school and we've got dioramas due next Wednesday for extra credit and since I've got another 8th grader this year, too, it seems that I can't escape Science Fair. This year the topic appears to be paper chromotagraphy. Definietly something I don't know a lot about.
The high schooler has joined the baking club and the photography club. She's anxiously waiting for Lacrosse to start, but that isn't until the spring. I image that I should start looking at sporting stores and watch for sales/coupons as I imagine Santa will be bringing her a Lacrosse stick for Christmas.
All for now. Off to read the blogs.

Has your daughter thought about doing Senior Portraiture? That appears to be a huge thing in the Midwest now (based on pictures of recent grads that turn into photo shoots). I bet she could get a HUGE following for that!

Luckily she will be able to do her part for parent involvement at granddaughter's new school: St. Jeanne de Lestonnac.

We'll be in southern california in June; maybe your daughter could do a photo shoot with my girls in Oceanside? San Juan Capistrano? Something fun to think about. My girls would love it! And distance doesn't appear to be much of a problem if she's going from CA to SC!
